Pakistan vs South Africa, 2nd Test, South Africa tour of Pakistan, 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Asif Afridi to de Zorzi, out Lbw!! Maiden Test wicket for Asif Afridi. The review does it. It looked plumb when the ball hit the pad but umpire Sharfuddoula shook his head and did not give it. Pakistan reviewed after a discussion. It's hurried on from a good length from outside off, also spun, de Zorzi went back deep in his crease and tried to tuck that to leg, misses and the impact on the pad is in line and crashing into the stumps which is three reds.
