(Reuters) -Pakistan captain Shan Masood scored 87 as the hosts reached 259 for five at the close of play on day one of the second test against a wasteful South Africa, who were poor in the field but kept in the contest by fine bowling in Rawalpindi on Monday.

Saud Shakeel is on 42 not out and Salman Agha has 10, with the Pakistan duo to resume on the second morning after weathering late pressure with the new ball from the visitors.
