India vs South Africa 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: India find themselves in a tough position after Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati. The hosts, who resumed action from the overnight total of 9/0, trailing by 480 runs, were bowled out for 201, handing South Africa a massive 288-run lead. The visitors could have enforced the follow-on but decided to bat again and had reached 26/0, lead by 314 runs, by the Stumps were called.
Earlier, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal stitched 65 runs for the first wicket before the partnership was broken by Keshav Mahraj. The spinner dismissed Rahul for 22, which was followed by a 30-run stand between Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan before disaster struck. The former was dismissed for 58 by Simon Harmer, and two more breakthroughs followed in the opening session. Sudharsan was removed for 15, while Dhruv Jurel returned without troubling the scorers. India were batting at 102/4 heading into Tea.
South Africa maintained the tempo as proceedings got underway in the second session. Rishabh Pant fell victim to a rash short, which led to him getting caught-behind on 7 against Marco Jansen. Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy also couldn't do much, scoring 6 and 10 respectively. Washington Sundar hung around in the middle and found decent support from Kuldeep Yadav as there were no further inroads in the session.
Together the pair of Sundar and Kuldeep added 72 runs for the eighth wicket before Harmer got the former caught at slip for 48. Kuldeep, on the other hand, showed excellent resilience and grinded for 134 balls for his 19 before getting out to Marco Jansen, which was also the final wicket of the innings. Jansen returned with six scalps, while Harmer, who was named Player of the Match in the last Test at Kolkata, picked three.
South Africa had previously piled a massive 489/10 in the first innings after winning the toss and opting to bat. The Proteas batted for almost two days as Senuran Muthusamy scored a ton coming in at No. 7 and bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen further rubbed salt in India's wounds by smashing a 91-ball 93.

MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta and Shaun Pollock are having a look at the Day 4 surface in Guwahati. Deep starts by pointing out that it is a pleasant morning. Shaun Pollock observes a few little foot holes, but nothing extravagant. He then shares about the average pace and turn that spinners from both sides generated. Detailing further into it, he highlights that the Indian spinners were a bit quicker through the air, with an average pace of about 90 kph, and got less turn. Whereas the South African spinners extracted more turn and grip by offering much air to the ball, with an average pace of 83.5 kph, and were clever with their variations as well. He walks to the centre of the pitch and reckons that this is the most even bounce he has seen in India for a while. Adds that Marco Jansen used his height and bounce to great effect. Stresses that he will need to do more of that, but also feels that India will deal with it better in the second innings.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | A few minutes back, in the team huddle, the Indian head coach, Gautam Gambhir, engaged in a lengthy and animated conversation. He pumped up the motivation in his players. And now, he walks up to the pitch to have a closer look. What does it look like? Pitch report coming up...
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | It’s been a long Test for the Indian bowlers. They have bowled on each of the three days so far in the match, and will have to bowl on this fourth day as well. So, the workload has been immense. They've got a massive job ahead and will be desperate to make early inroads in the morning session. The Proteas, meanwhile, will resume effectively on 314 without loss. That scoreline alone tells you how deep a hole India have dug themselves into. The big question now is how long South Africa will bat before pulling the trigger on a declaration and putting India back in to face the music. Or do the Indians have it in them to bundle this Proteas batting unit? Another absorbing day of cricket is about to begin. So stay tuned as the morning session of the day will give us a clear picture of where this is heading. The first ball is just a few minutes away.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | Now onto the execution side of things. The Proteas bowlers have nailed the pace and variations this pitch demands. Marco Jansen peppered the batters with hostile short stuff that constantly had them hopping, while Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj gave the ball plenty of air to dip, grip and bounce off the surface to get the rewards. Most crucially, all of them hammering away at the stumps, forcing the Indian batters to make decisions and play shots they didn't always want to. India's bowlers, to be fair, haven't been as consistent with that approach. And crucially, it all underpinned in those 68 balls that caused the procession. Sure, the choice of shots will be put under scrutiny as well.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | The pitch isn't a minefield by any means, and Kuldeep and Sundar’s late resistance on Monday, in an alliance of 208 balls, proved exactly that. Sure, it's on the slower side, and after being used for three days, it is naturally bound to show some wear and tear. But overall, there's still something in it for both bat and ball. Yet somehow it felt like South Africa and India have been playing on completely different surfaces. Where the Proteas batted rather comfortably for over 150 overs, India crumbled in almost half that time. So one can opine that the application has been the key difference maker that separates the two sides.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | And… we are back again. This second Test has moved at its own pace in Guwahati, with South Africa holding all the aces and are smelling blood. Nine sessions down, the tourists have bossed up eight of those. Just shows how dominant they have been, not only in this game, but throughout the series. India, on the other hand, have looked dull and are on the mat yet again. By any stretch of imagination, a win looks almost impossible for them, with a draw as the best possible result. They surely will have to dig deep when they come out to bat again. On that note, we welcome you all to our coverage of the fourth day of this second and final Test.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | ... DAY 4 ...
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | Right then, another day that belonged to South Africa. Disappointment for the Indians as they are staring at a potential whitewash at home. Still early to say, but the writing seems to be on the wall. The best result they can squeeze out from this one is to drag it into a draw, but for that, if and when the Proteas declare, or they bowl the tourists out, they will have to bat and dig deep. South Africa will effectively begin Day 4 with 314 on the board, and they will aim to stretch the game far away from India's reach. Action will resume on 25th November, Tuesday, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 9 am IST (3.30 am GMT). But do join us for the buildup a bit earlier. Till then, take care, cheers!
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | South Africa's Marco Jansen is in for a chat. He says there was nice pace and bounce in the wicket, although not a lot of swing on offer. Shares that once they saw the pace and bounce in the surface, he tried to make full use of it. He reflects that it was a good day for the team and for him personally, and credits the spinners for doing an excellent job when the ball wasn’t doing much for the quicks. He admits he was a bit lucky to be the one who cashed in. Mentions that they thought they would have to field for two days, so today was all about turning up and doing the job. He adds that it is still a good wicket for batting, though the ball is starting to turn a touch, and every now and then one holds in the surface.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | The afternoon session started as a nightmare for India. Rishabh Pant departed to a questionable shot when his team desperately needed him to dig in, and Marco Jansen piled on the misery with a sharp short ball barrage. The hosts further collapsed in a heap, all the way down to 122/7. But Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav stemmed the bleeding with some gritty resistance. As the ball got older and softer, it lost that vicious bite from the morning spell. The pitch flattened out sufficiently for batting, and the pair grew more confident, showing that runs were available if you were willing to apply yourself and spend time at the crease.
MATCH UPDATE
South Africa vs India Live Score | And... that's it for the day. The light has deteriorated and the umps take the players off the field. Another highly absorbing day of cricket comes to a close. It's STUMPS on Day 3 with South Africa well and truly in the driver's seat, dictating all the terms. India have struggled throughout this Test. First, they were made to toil hard with the ball for over 150 overs, and then they couldn't even bat for one full day, and were forced to bowl once again in the twilight. They would have expected to get a couple of wickets, but the Proteas openers just closed that door with sensible batting.

MATCH UPDATE
India vs South Africa Live Score | What's happened to India while batting at home, one wonders. They have looked uncomfortable in their own backyard. It was a steady start for India with Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul first seeing off the tricky phase late on Day 2 and then seeing off the early part of Day 3. The home side looked in a decent position at 95/1, but once Jaiswal perished, it all fell apart. First, it was Simon Harmer who dented India, and then, after the Tea break, Marco Jansen piled on the misery for the hosts. It was a procession on either side of the break as India were reduced to 122/7.
MATCH UPDATE
India vs South Africa Live Score | Decision-making time, then. Temba Bavuma is rushing off the field to have a chat with Shukri Conrad, their head coach, regarding the follow-on. He asks for a couple of minutes. And here's the decision. SOUTH AFRICA WILL BAT, he gestures. He has also asked for a light roller before they come out to bat again. A job well done by the Proteas. Though it took a bit longer than they would have expected, due to the resistance offered by the Indian lower order, but they still have a lead of 288 runs at their disposal and they can feel that they have both hands on the series trophy now.
