Stubbs slammed his maiden Test century, while Zorzi is unbeaten on 141 (211), which featured ten fours and three sixes. Further, Zorzi hogged the headlines for his celebration after reaching his maiden Test hundred.
Notably, Tony copied Chelsea's golden boy Cole Palmer's celebration after reaching his ton. In the 55th over, Tony swept a Mehidy Hasan delivery for a boundary, and following that, he broke into Palmer's celebration by rubbing his biceps, which the Chelsea star does after scoring a goal.
Who is Cole Palmer?
The 23-year-old star player plays for Chelsea and has emerged as their best player recently. Palmer started his professional career in 2020 for Manchester City and then moved to Chelsea, where he made an immediate impact on the club's success.

Talking about South Africa, a win is necessary for the Proteas as they are eyeing a spot in the WTC finals. Further, since India lost two matches against New Zealand.
