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

Maharaj to Siraj, out Caught by Marco Jansen!! Unreal catch! Just unreal. And look at the reaction of the South Africans. They can't believe it. South Africa have whitewashed India. No wonder it's Jansen who has plucked the catch out of thin air. Fittingly as well. He has been one of the stars of this match and it's a one-handed blinder running backwards. Even the white floppy on his head stays as he tumbles to ground. Siraj and Bavuma have wry smiles on their faces, they can't quite believe that it has been taken. It's full on off, Siraj gets forward to loft, there's more height than elevation, still it is landing in space, but Jansen runs back from mid-on and keeps his eyes on it, sticks an outstretched left hand as he stretches full-tilt. The ball lodges in his palms. He then gets up and is mobbed by the other star of the match - Harmer, even as the other South Africans run towards him. Fantastic end to the Test. Siraj c Marco Jansen b Maharaj 0(4)

The third ump makes the call

Maharaj to Jadeja, out Stumped!! This was on the cards. Jadeja has dirt all over his jersey after getting stumped. The end is near. He gives the charge and Maharaj cleverly drags the length back outside off, a wild slog across the line as Jadeja is not to the pitch of the ball, he misses and Verreynne does the rest. Gambhir watches on stoically. Jadeja st Verreynne b Maharaj 54(87) [4s-4 6s-2]
