Day 2 of the Pakistan vs South Africa first Test in Lahore witnessed a moment of high tension when Kyle Verreynne became the centre of an on-field confrontation following his dismissal by Noman Ali. The South African wicketkeeper-batter was trapped plumb in front of the stumps by a sharply turning delivery, leading to both a controversial review and a heated exchange that set social media abuzz.
Kyle Verreynne’s LBW sparks heated on-field moment
The incident occurred midway through the final session when Noman Ali, bowling from around the wicket, fired in a quicker ball that darted back sharply from middle stump. Verreynne, attempting a sweep, completely misjudged the line, and the ball struck him flush on the pads. Pakistan’s players immediately erupted in appeal, and the umpire raised his finger without hesitation.
Verreynne opted for a DRS review, but the replay confirmed Pakistan’s appeal – Ultra Edge showed no contact with the bat and ball tracking revealed three reds, leaving the batter visibly frustrated as he made his way off the field. Moments later, television cameras captured Verreynne exchanging words with one of the Pakistani fielders near the boundary.
Before the situation escalated further, Hasan Ali stepped in swiftly to diffuse the tension, guiding Verreynne toward the pavilion. The brief altercation drew strong reactions online, with fans debating the intensity of the exchange and applauding Hasan’s sportsmanship in preventing a potential confrontation.

Noman Ali shines as Pakistan maintain upper hand
Beyond the brief flare-up, it was Noman Ali’s stellar bowling that kept Pakistan in control on a gripping second day. His four-wicket haul, including the crucial dismissals of Aiden Markram, Wiaan Mulder, and Kyle Verreynne, helped Pakistan restrict South Africa to 216/6 at stumps, still trailing by 162 runs.
Earlier in the day, Pakistan’s innings ended at 378, with Salman Agha narrowly missing his century after being dismissed for 93. South Africa’s spinners, particularly Senuran Muthusamy, dominated the morning session, as he claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in Tests. His spell of 6 for 86 dismantled Pakistan’s lower order, showcasing the significant assistance available for spin on the dry Lahore surface.
In reply, despite losing early wickets, Tony de Zorzi and Ryan Rickelton steadied South Africa’s innings with a crucial 90-run stand. Rickelton brought up his maiden Test fifty with confident stroke play, while de Zorzi counterattacked effectively, reaching his half-century off just 63 balls.
However, Pakistan regained momentum when Babar Azam pulled off a stunning one-handed catch at first slip to dismiss Rickelton. Noman Ali then struck again to remove Verreynne, marking his fourth wicket of the innings and putting Pakistan back in control.
By stumps, de Zorzi (58 not out) and Muthusamy (4 not out) guided South Africa to safety, setting up an intriguing Day 3 battle.
