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

Jadeja to Markram, out Bowled!! Knocked him over! That's a lovely delivery by Jadeja. Sharp grip and turn on offer. Markram is drawn forward in his defence, he gets beaten due to this peach of a delivery, only to find the off-stump castled. South Africa should try to be positive and score some quick runs, rather than being so defensive and losing wickets. Nevertheless, Jadeja is absolutely pumped up after taking that wicket.
