India vs South Africa 3rd Test Day 2 Highlights: India 57/2 at stumps, take 70-run lead

Jasprit Bumrah took 5/42 as India bowled South Africa out for 210 and then drove home their advantage with the bat as the ended day two of the decisive third and final Test on 57 for two in their second innings at Newlands on Wednesday. India’s lead is 70, already a sizeable one on a difficult, seaming wicket that is offering plenty of assistance to the bowlers and has seen 22 wickets fall on the opening two days of the contest. Captain Virat Kohli is not out 14 in an unbeaten partnership of 33 with Cheteshwar Pujara (9*) and they will attempt to take the game away from the home team on the third morning as they chase a first ever series win in South Africa. Both openers have been dismissed as Mayank Agarwal (7) was caught by Dean Elgar off Kagiso Rabada and KL Rahul (10) was grabbed by Aiden Markram at slip from the bowling of Marco Jansen. Bumrah gave a masterclass of seam bowling in the South African innings as he got the ball to move both ways and at times leap off the surface. Keegan Petersen scored a career-best 72 for the home side but played almost a lone hand in the innings with the next highest score Temba Bavuma’s 28. Petersen, in just his fifth Test, showed admirable patience as he batted for 166 balls before becoming the fourth victim for Bumrah when he edged to Pujara at slip. It is the kind of surface where batsmen never quite feel settled at the crease and the fact that the ball might misbehave at any point is always in their minds. Mohammed Shami (2-39), Umesh Yadav (2-64) and Shardul Thakur (1-37) were also among the wicket-takers for the tourists. The series is level at 1-1 after India won the first Test in Pretoria by 113 runs, before South Africa bounced back to claim the second in Johannesburg by seven wickets.

That's it! Close of play on Day 2. Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli see India off to safety at stumps. Lungi Ngidi completes the final over of the day. South Africa pacers managed a couple of wickets as openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal departed cheaply but Pujara and Kohli ensured that no further damage was done. A good day for India as they now are in a much better position then they were yesterday. A disappointing effort with the bat from the Proteas and their bowlers have got a lot of work to bring their team back into this contest. India take a 70-run lead at stumps on Day 2. Pujara and Kohli walk back unbeaten on 9 and 14 respectively.

Lovely shot through covers from Virat Kohli. Over-cooked outside off from Marco Jansen and Kohli pounced onto that one. Creams it to the fence. IND 50/2 after 12 overs, lead by 63 runs.

Kagiso Rabada strays down the leg side and Virat Kohli comfortably tucks the ball to fine-leg fence. IND 42/2 after 10.1 overs

Maiden! A cracking over from Marco Jansen comes to an end. Both Jansen and Kagiso Rabada bowling beautifully at the moment, giving nothing away to Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli. Both the bowlers asking some serious questions. IND 28/2 after 8 overs

Marco Jansen comes into the attack and is in action straightaway. Angles the ball across from over the wicket. KL Rahul fishes for it. Gets the outside edge and Aiden Markram takes a good catch at second slip. Rahul walks back for 10. IND 24/2 after 5.5 overs

Revenge time!!! Perfect response from Kagiso Rabada after getting hit for a boundary on the previous ball. Drags his length down a bit and there is a slight away movement on the ball. The ball takes the outside edge of Mayank Agarwal's bat and goes straight in Dean Elgar's hands at first slip. Mayank departs for 7. IND 20/1 after 4.5 overs

Lovely! Kagiso Rabada goes full and into the pads. Mayank Agarwal pushes it down the ground and it races to the fence.

Class from KL Rahul! Over-cooked delivery outside off from Duanne Olivier and Rahul produces a scintillating cover drive. IND 13/0 after 3.5 overs

Marginally short just outside off from Duanne Olivier and KL Rahul chops it behind point to pick up his first boundary of the second innings. IND 9/0 after 3.2 overs

Excellent review from Mayank Agarwal. That looked plumb in front to the naked eye. Kagiso Rabada hits Mayank pads and the on-field umpire ruled it out straightaway. Mayank took the review and ball-tracking confirms that the delivery is going just over the stumps. Mayank survives with the help of a review. IND 4/0 after 2.2 overs

Kagiso Rabada started off with a maiden and Duanne Olivier follows it up with a tidy 3-run first over from the other end. IND 3/0 after 2 overs

Openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal are in the middle to begin India's second innings. Kagiso Rabada to start the proceedings for South Africa. Three slips and a gully in place for Rabada. Rahul on strike. Here we go!

That's it! Jasprit Bumrah gets Lungi Ngidi to complete his second Test fifer in South Africa. A splendid bowling performance from the pacers as India manage a slim 13-run first innings lead. South Africa bowled out for 210 in their first innings in reply to India's 223. Bumrah leads the way with figures of 5 for 42. A disappointing effort from the Proteas batters in the last two sessions as they have given away their advantage. Keegan Petersen (72) finishes as the top scorer for the Proteas.

Inside edge and the ball runs down to the fine-leg fence. Duanne Olivier gets lucky and Jasprit Bumrah has a smile on his face. The deficit is now just 19 for the Proteas. SA 204/9

Shardul Thakur comes back into the attack and is in action straightaway. South Africa are now 9 down with 200 runs on the board. Rabada was looking to go after Shardul. He hits the ball straight down the ground but finds Jasprit Bumrah at long-on. Rabada departs for 15.

Marginally short from Jasprit Bumrah. Duanne Olivier creates a little bit of room for himself and slaps the ball to the third-man fence. SA 191/8 after 68.5 overs

Kagiso Rabada and Duanne Olivier are trying their best to show some sort of fight against this high quality India pace bowling. There have been a barrage of short balls from Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav at the Proteas batter but both Rabada and Olivier are showing stern resistance. A two-run over from Umesh comes to an end. SA 186/8 after 68 overs, trail by another 37 runs
