CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Pakistan's Shan Masood and Asad Shafiq scored half centuries as they led a fightback against South Africa on the third day of the second test at Newlands on Saturday, taking their score to 177 for three wickets at tea.

Asad was 73 not out and Shan scored 61 as they effectively dealt with a barrage of hostile bowling from the hosts' four-man seam attack in a 132-run partnership for the third wicket.
