IND vs SA 1st Test Day 2 Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja runs riot as India don't allow momentum to slip
IND vs SA 1st Test Day 2 Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja injected four blows to keep the momentum intact for India on Day 2 of the first Test against South Africa at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. His efforts helped India reduce the visitors to 93/7 at Stumps as they lead by 63 runs. The all-rounder removed Aiden Markram (4), Wiaan Mulder (11), and Tony de Zorzi (2) early in the final session. He added a fourth scalp by bamboozling Tristan Stubbs, who was castled by the all-rounder for 5.
Axar Patel also chipped in with a wicket by removing Kyle Verreynne for 9, while Kuldeep Yadav made two inroads. The latter trapped Ryan Rickelton LBW for 11 and got Marco Jansen caught at slip for 13.
Earlier, South Africa kept things under control as far as India's response was concerned. The hosts gained a slender 30-run lead, managing 189-9 in first innings. Shubman Gill, meanwhile, didn't walk out to bat after being retired hurt earlier in the day. A call on his further participation will be taken by the management depending on his recovery.
The day started with KL Rahul and Washington Sundar adding 57 runs for the second wicket before Simon Harmer packed the latter for 29. Gill then joined the proceedings, played a sweep towards backward square leg region against the spinner that resulted in a boundary. However, he hurt his neck in the process and returned to the dressing room, following which Rishabh Pant walked in. The southpaw displayed some stylish shots but lost his wicket to Corbin Bosch for 27. Rahul, on the other hand, fell victim to Keshav Mahraj for 39.
The combined effort helped India reach 138/4, trailing by 21 runs, at Lunch after resuming from the overnight total of 37/1. The second session saw India lose the remaining five wickets as Harmer returned with four scalps. Dhruv Jurel got out caught-and-bowl for 14 against Harmer for 14, who then trapped Ravindra Jadeja LBW for 27.
Previously, Jasprit Bumrah ran through the South Africa line up to register a five-wicket haul on Day 1. His clinical show helped India bundle Proteas for 159 in the first innings, which was after they won the toss and opted to bat.

ℹ️MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | PITCH REPORT - Former Indian keeper Dinesh Karthik and South African legend Shaun Pollock are out having a look at the Day 3 pitch at Eden Gardens. Pollock says the game has completely transformed. Says that Day 1 was all about the seamers and unpredictable bounce, but now it has become spinner-friendly with the amount of turn and bounce they are extracting. Notes that the wrist spinners are getting that bounce, but it is the finger spinners who are hitting a steep trajectory that's rapping batters on the gloves and zipping past the outside edge. He's backing more of the same today, possibly worse. Details that the good length and full length areas have turned crusty, meaning the spinners will be licking their lips. He references that Bumrah ripper from around the wicket that caught Rickelton flush on the ribs. On the reason for that, he further explains that the cracks around the good length area outside off to a left-hander are intersecting, and when the ball hits those intersections, it just detonates off the deck. Pollock is convinced there's loads in this for the spinners and batting will only get tougher. DK closes by pointing out that 11 wickets fell on Day 1, 15 on Day 2, and the big question now is how many will go down today.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | JUST IN - The BCCI have released a medical update on Shubman Gill. The statement confirms that the Indian skipper was taken to the hospital for examination yesterday after the end of the day’s play. He is currently under observation and will take no further part in this game. Gill will continue to be monitored by the BCCI medical team.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | The mind goes back to the 2024 Mumbai Test between India and New Zealand. In reply to 235 from the Kiwis, the home side managed to secure a narrow 28-run lead. India were then set 147 to chase in the fourth innings on a similar track, but New Zealand successfully defended it and won by 25 runs. This game seems to be heading down a similar path. Settle in. A huge first hour awaits.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | India, meanwhile, will be eager to snare the three remaining wickets quickly to keep the target within reach. Ravindra Jadeja spun a web around the visitors last evening and will once again be the heartbeat of India’s charge with his accuracy and relentless stump-to-stump pressure. Shubman Gill’s overnight hospital admission for the neck spasm he suffered while batting yesterday is a setback, and his return appears unlikely. That will leave the home side a batter short and place added responsibility on the rest of the batting unit when they eventually walk out to chase.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | South Africa begin the day with a lead of 63 and the chance to stretch it into something far more substantial. Temba Bavuma’s calm presence has been the glue so far, but what unfolds around him now could define the Test. Will someone take the aggressive route and land the first blow, or will the visitors attempt to grind out every run on a surface that continues to plot against batters? If they can push the score beyond 120, they will fancy their bowlers to take it from there.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | Hello and welcome to Day 3 of what has already been quite the ride. It has been an entertaining return of Test cricket to Eden Gardens, and the finish promises to be just as gripping. It has been a low-scoring and fast-moving contest, with 15 wickets falling on Day 2, and with the pitch deteriorating rapidly, a result is very much on the cards today. Run scoring became hard work yesterday, and both teams walk out this morning knowing just how decisive the opening session could be.

South Africa vs India Live Score | ... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | On a track where you are never really set as a batter and any ball could have your name written on it, you have to try to be positive but smart in the options you select. Come Day 3, it could well be Corbin Bosch playing that aggressive role in the morning for South Africa, who currently hold a lead of 63 runs. If it comes off, the tourists could very well push past 100 and beyond. The effect of the roller might mean conditions are a touch easier for the first few overs. As for India, they will ideally want to keep the opponents under 100 because it is only going to get tougher to bat from here. We look forward to having your company on Sunday, 16th November, for Day 3 action, with the first ball to be bowled at 9.30 am IST (4 am GMT). We will be here nice and early for the build-up. See you then!
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | India's Axar Patel is up for a quick chat with Ravi Shastri. On being asked about how the pitch is playing, Axar mentions that it looks even from one end, but is doing a lot from the other end, detailing that it is turning and bouncing. Adds that on such a wicket, you need to attack the stumps and bowl with a positive mindset. Also points out that when you know there is a lot of help for the bowlers, you can get carried away and do a lot more to get a wicket. But stresses on keeping it simple because the batters are already finding it tricky to score and are bound to make mistakes. On being asked about what could be a good total, he reckons 125 would be an easy chase for them, looking at this track.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | In reply, South Africa had a few overs to negotiate before the Tea break, but Ryan Rickelton could not see it through. Come the third session, Ravindra Jadeja tightened the screws on the visitors. On a turning track with turn and bounce, it is those balls that go straight that plant the seed of doubt in the batter’s mind, and Ravindra Jadeja ran through the Proteas’ top and middle order, relentlessly asking all kinds of questions. Temba Bavuma held firm in the face of wickets falling around him and, towards the fag end, first Kyle Verreynne and then Marco Jansen tried to counterattack. While a couple of shots came off for Jansen, he could not carry on for long.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | Trailing by 122 runs at the start of the day, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar were watchful in their approach. South Africa did not quite target the stumps enough early on, but the turnaround started for them with the introduction of Simon Harmer, who ended up with four wickets. The Proteas kept chipping away at the wickets and India's batting effort mirrored that of their opponents, with several batters getting starts but nothing of real substance. Shubman Gill walked off after feeling a twinge in his neck and could not return. The hosts ended with a lead of 30 and there was not much to separate the two sides.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | The light meter is out and the umpires feel that the light is not good enough to continue. That will be STUMPS for Day 2. An eventful third session with 6 wickets falling in 28.2 overs and 75 runs scored caps off an engrossing day of Test cricket. 15 wickets fell on the day, with the surface showing drastic deterioration compared to Day 1. Who would have thought we would end up here, considering the first hour was all serene before the game started to pick up pace, and now we are staring at a potential Day 3 finish.

South Africa vs India Live Score | Kuldeep Yadav to Temba Bavuma : A stifled appeal for LBW, but the umpire is unmoved. Kuldeep is keen to take a review and convinces the skipper, citing that there is no height and hence, Pant opts for a review. Kuldeep lands this on a fuller length, and around off. It pitches and spins back in as Temba Bavuma attempts the sweep shot, but misses to connect and wears it around the waist. Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside off.

Marco Jansen takes the review after a chat with the skipper. UltraEdge detects no spike when the ball is next to the bat, but the Ball Tracking saves Marco Jansen as the impact is outside the off stump. Hence, the on-field decision is overturned.

WICKET!Over 22.6South Africa 60/5
South Africa vs India Live Score | Ravindra Jadeja to Tristan Stubbs : OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Number 4 for Ravindra Jadeja and this is a beauty. Jadeja darts it in, on a length, on middle. It lands and prodigiously turns away from the batter. Tristan Stubbs hangs deep in the crease and tries to block, but plays the initial line, anticipating the ball to come straight with the arm. But it grips to beat the outside edge and smashes into the off stump. The expressions on Stubbs' face say it all as he cannot quite believe it. He departs on 5 (18) and South Africa are in disarray with 5 down and just 60 runs on the board.

MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | DRINKS BREAK. A decent phase for South Africa, as they have managed to score 20 runs off the last 5 overs. Despite batting being tricky, Temba Bavuma has stepped up nicely so far and will need Stubbs to partner him for the long haul. The lead is still not into the threatening territory and the Saffas cannot afford to lose more wickets from here till the end of the day's play. On the other hand, the ball has spun and bounced prodigiously for Kuldeep and Jadeja and they would look to extract the most from these conditions.
