Pakistan registered a record win over South Africa in the first Test at Karachi's National Stadium.
Left-arm spinner Nauman Ali bagged a five-wicket haul in an innings on Test debut.
The Hosts completed the target in 22.5 overs with eight wickets in hand.
After winning the first Test in the two-match series, the Babar Azam-led side move to the fifth position in the ICC World Test Championship standings.
Here is how Twitter reacted:
Much needed win for Pakistan! Of course the conditions suited us yet the team fought hard from difficult situations. Well bowled Nauman Ali, great debut. All the best to team Pakistan for the second Test

An impressive win by fighting back after nearly relinquishing the initiative.
