A Quick Test

I looked at the 220 all out score and thought, "Weren't the T20s after the Test matches?"

14 wickets on the first day! The Pakistani bowling was excellent. Unfortunately, their batsmen failed as usual. Babar Azam will have a lot of work to do in his second innings.

Update: I was too pessimistic. The top order did fail but the middle rescued the match on Day 2. Fawad Alam showcased his experience and talent once again:

Fawad began to use his feet to the spinners more and more frequently, hitting over the top to push the field back. And in a moment that is only likely to grow both Fawad's legacy and his cult, he would get to his first hundred at his beloved home ground with a dance down the crease to Maharaj, depositing him over cow corner for a six.

What a magnificent bastard!

The South Africans are tired and the Pakistani bowlers are rested and ready to go on Day 3. They'll have to score significantly more than their first innings to have a shot at winning.
