Facing huge scores, India’s openers played a brief but crucial spell of nine overs without any loss. Yashasvi Jaiswal (7*) and KL Rahul (2*) showed good judgment and took India to 9/0 at the end of play.

However, with South Africa having already scored the highest first innings score by any visiting team in India and in danger of losing the Test, the hosts now face a bigger challenge. A disciplined batting effort will be required on the third day if India are to keep themselves in the competition.
