During Pakistan's second innings, Babar got involved in a verbal exchange with Proteas all-rounder Mulder. The incident took place in the 32nd over, when Babar played a drive back to Mulder at the non-striker's end.
As soon as Mulder received the ball, he threw it back at Babar, claiming to aim at the stumps. However, Babar was standing at a good distance from the stumps and the ball hit straight on his pads.
After this, both the players exchanged some words and the umpires immediately intervened and resolved the matter.
