IND vs SA 2nd Test, Day 2 Highlights: At Stumps on Day 2 of the second Test at the Wanderers, India are at 85/2 leading South Africa by 58 runs. Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara are on the crease after the visitors lost two wickets early in their second innings. For South Africa, Duanne Olivier and Marco Jansen picked one wicket each. Earlier, South Africa were bowled out for 229 runs after Shardul Thakur returned with the figures of 7/61 for the Indian team. Shardul's figures are also the best by an Indian bowler in South Africa. Apart from Thakur, Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah picked two wickets each. The Proteas had taken a 27-run first-innings lead and now it will depend on how Indian batters will go in the second innings to set up a good target for the home side in the fourth innings. (SCORECARD)
