Pakistan vs South Africa: Former PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) chief and current cricket commentator, Ramiz Raja, has found himself embroiled in controversy on Day 2 of the ongoing Test between South Africa and Pakistan. Raja, who was caught on live TV criticising Pakistan's star batter Babar Azam for the use of DRS (Decision Review System) in a straightforward dismissal. Raja, while speaking to someone in the commentary room, called out Babar for doing 'drama', which got caught on Live TV on Day 1 of the Lahore Test.

Needless to say, Raja got bashed left, right, and center for his remark. The controversy involving Babar wasn't enough, Raja got himself listed into another as he mocked Pakistan's left-arm spinner Noman Ali on Day 2 of 1st Test. The former Pakistan captain cheekily made fun of Ali's glasses and called them ‘welding glasses’, which got caught and criticised on social media yet again.

“He’s wearing a fancy pair of glasses, Noman Ali. Looks like welding glasses," he said about Noman. Check out the video here:

Ye Out Hai, Drama Karega: Raja

Babar, who was looking to make a comeback in the side, was adjudged out to South Africa's Senuran Muthusamy, but he challenged the decision instantly. Amidst TV replay, Raja, who thought his voice had been dubbed down, said, “Yeh out hain, drama karega" (“This is out; now he will be doing drama").

It is worth noting that Raja's comments were caught in his fainting voice, which proves that he didn't intend to say it on national television.

Noman remained pick among other bowlers on Day 2

South Africa's Tony de Zorzi scored an unbeaten 81 to take South Africa to 216-6 at stumps against Pakistan on the second day of the first Test on Monday, trailing by 162 runs.

De Zorzi survived several reviews in a charmed existence at the crease but provided resistance as the tourists struggled to deal with Pakistan's spin attack on a surface slowing up and with cracks beginning to show at the Gaddafi Stadium.

He will resume with Senuran Muthusamy, not out on six, at the start of day three on Tuesday after Muthusamy's bowling caused a sudden collapse in Pakistan's innings earlier on Monday.
