India vs South Africa Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 3: IND take on SA in Guwahati. ( CREIMAS for BCCI)India (IND) vs South Africa (SA) 2nd Test Day 3 Live Cricket Score Updates: India will look to take advantage of the batting-friendly conditions of the Barsapara stadium on Monday as they look to overhaul South Africa’s massive 489-run first innings score. With the benign pitch offering little to no assistance to the bowlers on Day 2, the South Africans, who were 6 down for 247 on Day 1, posted a massive 1st innings score of just under 500.

India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: Dogged Proteas render hosts’ bowlers ineffective on benign pitch to take control on Day 2
The last wicket-less session for India at home was a month back in Delhi, during a late West Indies uprising. But the way their bowlers were foiled by the South Africa lower order has no recent precedent.
Senuran Muthusamy’s defiance (109), Marco Jansen’s belligerence (93) and Kyle Verreynne’s resourcefulness (45) covered Day 2 in near-entirety to deflate India early in the second Test. It will take a herculean feat, and a fast one at that, for the hosts – 0-1 down in the two-Test series – to bounce back after conceding 489 in over 151 overs at the ACA Stadium.
Batting under floodlights and lavender skies, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (7 not out) and KL Rahul (2 not out) survived as play closed three minutes before the scheduled stumps with India at nine without loss.
