Earlier in a day, Pakistan record first Test series victory over South Africa at home after 18 years today.

The second Test in Rawalpindi was another excellent advertisement for Test cricket as Pakistan claimed victory to secure the series 2-0

South Africa looked in pole position to actually win this Test when the new ball was taken at 241 for 3. But then the new-ball magic from Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi rocked South Africa with the swing and turned tables after lunch.
