The second and final match of the two-match Test series between Pakistan and South Africa is being played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Ground in Rawalpindi. South Africa's Kagiso Rabada created history on Wednesday in this Test match against Pakistan. He played an unbeaten inning of 71 runs in 61 balls with 4 fours and 4 sixes. With this, he scored the highest score for South Africa batting at number 11, breaking a 119-year-old Test record.

Before Kagiso Rabada, Bert Vogler held the record for the highest individual score at number 11 for South Africa in Test cricket. Vogler scored an unbeaten 62 while batting at number 11 for South Africa in the first innings against England in Cape Town in 1906.

South Africa scored 404 runs in the first innings thanks to half-centuries from Tristan Stubbs (76), Tony de Giorgi (55), Senuran Muthusamy (89 not out), and Kagiso Rabada (71). This gave South Africa a 71-run lead over Pakistan on the basis of the first innings.
