Mohammad Abbas struck early to castle Hashim Amla for cheap as Pakistan's bowlers were on the money early on Day 2.

Faf du Plessis and Temba Bavuma saw through a testing phase to start the rebuilding process.

Faf du Plessis reached his ninth Test century en route a 150-run stand with Bavuma.

Shaheen Afridi provided the breakthrough after Bavuma edged to Sarfraz for 75.

Pakistan picked up du Plessis on 103 but Quinton de Kock remained unbeaten on 55 to extend the lead to 205 at close of play.
