However, there were still enough characters on the field to ensure the entertainment does not stop if cricketing action is not enough to bring about the thrill, led by Pakistan skipper Babar Azam. Yesterday, the prolific batter had gone viral on social media after a picture emerged of him standing next to Marais Erasmus on social media. The photograph had been taken from a horizontal-across angle which made it seem Erasmus' hung belly belonged to Babar himself making him look significantly fat.

On day three, thus, Azam approached the umpire between overs and stood next to him with a smile on his face. Erasmus, equally aware of the meme, immediately understood his assignment and let out his stomach which he had previously been holding in alongside his breath. On seeing Erasmus reciprocate his antics, the hosts' captain burst outing later, creating a highly amusing incident for the fans.
