India vs South Africa, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kuldeep Yadav to Marco Jansen, out Bowled!! Anti-climactic for Marco Jansen. He curses himself and walks back. He is so distraught. The googly outside off, spins away, Jansen looks to dab and the thick inside-edge goes back on the stumps. That's a timid way to get out after playing so well. No maiden first-class ton for Jansen. That's why he is so gutted. Marco Jansen b Kuldeep Yadav 93(91) [4s-6 6s-7]

Kuldeep Yadav to Maharaj, FOUR, Maharaj uses his feet, gets to the pitch of the ball, takes it on the half-volley, launches it and it's over mid-on

Siraj to Marco Jansen, FOUR, Siraj is not happy. Jaiswal the man at deep mid-wicket. Siraj has a double-teapot pose, stares for long at Jaiswal. It's short outside off, Marco Jansen pulls and deep mid-wicket was in business, Jaiswal runs to his right, the ball lands and goes one bounce over the ropes

Bumrah to Marco Jansen, FOUR, tough chance and it flies through Bumrah's hands. Just a fingertip from Bumrah. Full on off, Marco Jansen drives uppishly and Bumrah was not expecting that to come back to him, flicks the right hand and goes away to the long-off fence, Jansen into the 80s

Bumrah to Maharaj, 1 run, direct-hit and Maharaj was gone. Nitish misses from mid-off. A low full-toss on middle, Maharaj drives and Nitish got there, but missed, Nitish cut the angle so well to his left

Bumrah to Harmer, out Bowled!! Beauty and the off-stump is flattened. It's a short of length delivery angled in on off, Harmer plays slightly inside the line of that, that's why he is squared up slightly, past the outside-edge and rips out off-stump. It didn't move much off the seam after pitching and Harmer misjudged the line of that one. Harmer b Bumrah 5(17)

Siraj to Marco Jansen, SIX, Siraj keeps going short and disappears. It's short on middle, Marco Jansen pulls and there's a lot of height and elevation too, deep mid-wicket watches it sail over, these runs are going to hurt India even more

Siraj to Marco Jansen, FOUR, Marco Jansen is now looking to play his shots. A short of length delivery on off, he makes room and pulls, clears mid-on and runs away

Jadeja to Marco Jansen, SIX, again in the slot outside off, full outside off, Marco Jansen gets forward and lofts over wide long-on, such long reach Jansen has and even though it was wide outside off, he reached it and hit it

Jadeja to Marco Jansen, SIX, in the slot and six. It's tossed up full on the stumps, Marco Jansen gets forward and launches this way way back over long-on, the no-look hit, such a powerful blow

Siraj to Muthusamy, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Finally India get Muthusamy. Muthusamy was looking to help the pull but the ball carries to fine-leg. Short at Muthusamy, he rolled his wrists but failed to keep it down, simple catch to fine-leg. Good ovation from the crowd for Muthusamy. Muthusamy c Jaiswal b Siraj 109(206) [4s-10 6s-2]

Washington Sundar to Marco Jansen, 1 run, 50 for Marco Jansen. His fourth in Tests. On a good length on off, Marco Jansen goes on the back foot and punches it down to long-on, has played a good hand

Siraj to Muthusamy, FOUR, width and put away. On a good length and well wide outside off, Muthusamy cuts late and beats the two gullies out there, no deep backward point and it races away, Muthusamy opened the face too

Siraj to Muthusamy, 2 runs, there it is! Maiden Test 100 for Muthusamy and he flashes a big smile showing all his teeth. Must be a popular man in the dressing room as his mates are up and applauding heartily. He missed out in Pakistan recently but no such issues here, short of length outside off, Muthusamy goes on the back foot and punches wide of sweeper cover, takes two and as soon as he hit that into the gap, he had the right hand up and was thrilled. Harmer is elated as are the others in the dressing room, Muthusamy punches the air with his helmet and then raises the bat. Hugs Marco Jansen and then gets on with it. Fine fine knock and richly deserved, he has not put a foot wrong. One more look at the celebrations: Harmer is actually more happy than Muthusamy, he slaps the glass door as he celebrates, he was immediately off his seat and celebrating

Kuldeep Yadav to Muthusamy, FOUR, down leg and a deft glance, fine-leg can't get there and it's Axar who fails to get to the ball in time, Muthusamy showing his deft touch there after a powerful slogsweep, Kuldeep Yadav just wears a disappointed expression on his face

Kuldeep Yadav to Muthusamy, SIX, the slogsweep and it's all the way over deep mid-wicket. It's tossed up and Muthusamy gets low, hits it clean and the ball clears the deep mid-wicket fence, saw the ball was there for the shot and didn't back out

Kuldeep Yadav to Marco Jansen, 1 run, tossed up full on middle, Marco Jansen gets forward to drive to long-on, the 400 is up

Bumrah to Marco Jansen, FOUR, Bumrah misses the yorker and it's a juicy low full-toss, angling in, just outside off, Marco Jansen gets forward and drives wide of cover, races away

Kuldeep Yadav to Muthusamy, FOUR, the reverse-sweep is out and Muthusamy gets it wide of backward point, tossed up on a length outside off, Muthusamy goes low and plays it along the ground, rolled his wrists too

Jadeja to Verreynne, out Stumped!! Finally India have the breakthrough! First wicket of the day and the crowd find their voice. Verreynne steps out of his crease early, Jadeja probably sees that, bowls one quicker and wider at 96.8kph. The batter is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball and fails to make any contact as it further spins away from him. Pant collects and breaks the stumps to catch him short of his ground. Third South African to get out in the 40s in this innings. Verreynne st Pant b Jadeja 45(122) [4s-5]

Jadeja to Verreynne, FOUR, 90.6kph, full and straighter, Verreynne gets down low to sweep it firmly through square leg. The man at short leg hops to evade it and the ball is quick to reach the fence

Bumrah to Verreynne, no run, 139.8kph, half an appeal for a catch down the leg-side, the umpire turns it down. Jurel, at square leg, is interested and India have reviewed it. Length ball straying onto the pads, Verreynne looks to glance and misses. No inside edge, confirms UltraEdge and India lose their second review. The ball brushed the batter's leg before going into the keeper's gloves

Bumrah to Muthusamy, FOUR, 140.4kph, low full toss, meant to be the yorker and Muthusamy puts it away. Opens the bat-face and drives it to the left of the diving backward point fielder. The timing is good and the ball runs away to the fence

Kuldeep Yadav to Muthusamy, FOUR, loose delivery put away! On the shorter side outside off, Muthusamy rocks back in the crease and carves it through backward point for four runs

Jadeja to Muthusamy, 1 run, fifty for Muthusamy! Finally a South African batter gets a fifty in this Test. Most of them got off to starts, but none were able to convert it into a formidable total. That hasn't been the case with Muthusamy though. He gets there with a gentle nudge towards the on-side

Jadeja to Muthusamy, no run, 92kph, lbw appeal and up goes umpire Rod Tucker's finger. Muthusamy decides to review it. Spins in from a length, Muthusamy gets low to sweep and gets hit on the front pad. Did it brush the glove? Small murmur on UltraEdge when the ball is close to the glove. "I've got ball on glove," says Chris Gaffaney, the TV umpire and the onfield call has been overturned. The batters saw it on the giant screen and knew that there was a slight feather on it. Successful review

Jadeja to Verreynne, FOUR, 300 up for South Africa! This was on the shorter side and Verreynne plays it late, carving it past the fielder at slip for four runs

Siraj to Verreynne, FOUR, Verreynne finds the gap between the two fielders in the deep. Banged in short by Siraj, the batter sees it coming, stands tall and rolls his wrists to pull it behind square on the leg-side. South Africa go past 250 with that boundary

Siraj to de Zorzi, out Caught by Pant!! Siraj strikes with the second new ball! The 45-run stand has been broken and Siraj is pumped up. Good length ball that seams away slightly outside off. De Zorzi could have let it go on line but he has a poke at it without any feet movement. Thick outside edge and Pant dives to his left to collect it safely with both hands. de Zorzi c Pant b Siraj 28(59) [4s-3 6s-1]

Bumrah to Muthusamy, FOUR, 128.4kph, inswinger, full and on the pads, Muthusamy uses the bowler's pace and angle to his advantage as he beautifully clips it through square leg

Siraj to Muthusamy, FOUR, 137.5kph, shortish ball on middle-leg, Muthusamy gets inside the line and short-arm-jabs it to send it to fine leg. Makes it look so easy as he places it square of the fine leg fielder

Siraj to de Zorzi, FOUR, 136.6kph, pitched up delivery outside off and de Zorzi plays a lovely cover drive. Leans forward and caresses it into the gap through the covers

Washington Sundar to Muthusamy, FOUR, 89.4kph, shorter and wider, Muthusamy slaps the cut off the back foot to send it through backward point

Washington Sundar to Muthusamy, FOUR, paddle sweeps this away to the fine leg fence. Washington Sundar went full and the batter managed to put it away

Kuldeep Yadav to Mulder, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Tossed up delivery around off, Mulder looks to take him on, goes for the aerial route and doesn't get enough elevation. Straight to Jaiswal at mid-off where he manages to hold on to a safe catch to his chest. Kuldeep takes his third wicket of the match. The shot selection from South Africa hasn't been great. Bavuma threw his wicket away, and Mulder repeats the same mistake. Mulder c Jaiswal b Kuldeep Yadav 13(18) [4s-2]

Siraj to Mulder, 2 runs, pitched up by the bowler outside off, Mulder drives it through covers for a brace. 200 up for South Africa

A thick outside edge is induced and KL Rahul at slips takes a safe catch. He dropped Markram earlier in the day, but holds on to the catch this time around. Stubbs misses out on a fifty by one run. South Africa will have two relatively new batters at the crease. The Indian spinners are taking wickets at regular intervals. Stubbs c Rahul b Kuldeep Yadav 49(112) [4s-4 6s-2]

Jadeja to Bavuma, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Jadeja strikes after the lunch break. This was the partnership, India wanted to break. A tossed up delivery around off and Bavuma looks to charge the bowler. Takes the aerial route and lofts this towards deep mid-off. Jaiswal stationed there completes a good diving catch in front of him and the Proteas have lost their captain. A pretty good hand by Bavuma. Bavuma c Jaiswal b Jadeja 41(92) [4s-5]

Jadeja to Bavuma, no run, India have lost a review! This is missing leg. Bavuma was down on his knee to play the sweep, but got beaten and rapped on the pads. There was no bat involved and the impact was in line, but replays confirm this is sliding down the leg-side. The Indian players look slightly disappointed as they look at the replays on the giant screen

Kuldeep Yadav to Stubbs, SIX, 84kph, tossed up, Stubbs waltzes down the pitch, gets close to the pitch of the delivery and lofts it over long-on. There's a man in the deep but he's made good contact to send it all the way

Rickelton c Pant b Kuldeep Yadav 35(82) [4s-5]

Bumrah to Markram, out Bowled!! Bumrah strikes at the stroke of Tea! Was brought back into the attack for this one over and Bumrah gets the breakthrough.

Bumrah to Markram, no run, 142.5kph, edge and put down! Fuller than a good length, moves away slightly, Markram is drawn forward into the push and gets a thick outside edge. Rahul moves to his left at second slip and puts down a regulation chance! Bumrah can't believe it and covers his face

Bumrah to Markram, FOUR, 140kph, on a length and marginally outside off, Markram stands tall to punch it solidly through the covers. The ball has the legs to reach the fence
