Philander to C Pujara, OUT! TIMBER! WHAT A START! What a start to the second session by Vernon Philander and the off stump has gone for a spin! Philander pitches this one on the middle and off pole line. It nips away after pitching, beating the outside edge of Pujara's bat and hits the top of off pole as the stump goes cartwheeling. Philander has struck right after the Lunch break and Pujara walks back to the pavilion after scoring just 6 runs. This is the 23rd time that Pujara has been bowled in Test matches. A way back for the Proteas?

12:11 (IST) Oct 03

We are back for the second session of the day! Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara make their way out to the middle along with the South African players. Cheteshwar Pujara will be on strike for the next over facing Vernon Philander.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

11:36 (IST) Oct 03

India on top! That is all one can say after the first session's play on Day 2. The hosts started the day with 202 runs on the board with all 10 wickets in hand. Rohit Sharma and Mayank Agarwal accelerated towards the latter part of the session. There were a couple of chances here and there for the South Africans but nothing of note except for the dropped catch of Rohit Sharma. However, he departed after playing a beautiful knock of 176 runs and it is now Pujara and Agarwal at the crease. Agarwal also will be looking to build on after scoring his maiden Test ton. What will be the story of the Test match after the Lunch break on Day 2? Stay tuned to find out and join us at 1210 local (0640 GMT) for an extended second session of play.
