With 121 runs needed to secure a place in the World Test Championship final, the Proteas face a challenging chase after losing three wickets early in their innings. Marco Jansen's outstanding bowling performance gives them hope as they strategise for a successful run chase.

Hello and welcome to day two, yesterday was a fast-moving day that gave us exhilarating action. Proteas will look to build this partnership and remove the trail without any major hiccups while Pakistan know they cannot afford to relax and will come out attacking with their pace quartet.

Typically for SuperSport Park, the Boxing Day Test, unfolded at an unrelenting pace, even though one of the chief protagonists in driving that acceleration was far from the quickest bowler on display.

Pakistan 211 and 88 for 3 (Babar 16*, Jansen 2-17) trail South Africa 301 (Markram 89, Bosch 81*, Shahzad 3-75, Naseem 3-92) by two runs.

Corbin Bosch's fearless 81 on debut turned the tide for South Africa, giving them a vital 90-run lead. Pakistan now rely on Babar Azam to rescue their innings, with Day 3 poised for a gripping contest.
