India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: South Africa 36/3 at stumps on Day 2, India 601/5d

DRINKS! Well, a very rare occasion where we can say that South Africa have have gained some foothold in the game. They have frustrated the Indian bowlers and the pair of Maharaj and Philander have tired them out. They have formed a 82-run stand and India will now be thinking that they might have to bowl on Day 4 as well. With this pair going strong and Rabada still to come, South Africa have turned the match on its head.
