India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test: Rahul, Jaiswal look to provide solid start on day 3

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test: The Men in Blue scored 9/0 in reply to South Africa's first innings total of 489 on day 2 of the second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

India, who had earlier bowled more than 151 overs to take 10 wickets, were trailing by 480 runs in the first innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on an unbeaten 7 runs at stumps, accompanied by KL Rahul on 2 not out, when bad light forced an early end to the day's play.

Earlier, Senuran Muthusamy smashed his maiden Test hundred, but Marco Jansen missed the century by seven runs. However, their efforts put South Africa on top of the second Test.

Rahul and Jaiswal are at the crease. Marco Jansen opens the attack with three slips, a gully and a short leg. He concedes four runs in the over. KL Rahul hits a boundary through the covers on the last ball.

"A moving day and India needs to keep the game moving. For batters, they should bat sessions. Can't lose a wicket in the opening session. Only lose three or four wickets by the end of the day. Be clear on the plan. Runs will come but occupy the time and crease. Make your starts count," said Kumble. 

Only six overs were possible in India's second innings on Day 2 of the second Test after South Africa piled up a commanding 489. Senuran Muthusamy's notched up maiden Test hundred, and a career-best 93 from Marco Jansen, powered the visitors to a massive first-innings total and put them firmly in control of the match. They walked back with a lead of 480 at stumps, leaving the Men in Blue under immense pressure as they look to level the series.

With Shubman Gill still recovering from his neck injury, KL Rahul will lead the Indian team in the three upcoming ODIs against South Africa starting Nov 30 in Ranchi.

"It was a really special moment in front of this full house. I'm just glad that I could contribute to the team and really put some runs on the board in the first innings, which is always important. (On Jansen's towering sixes) Oh, it was incredible. I had the best seat in the house. That was special. Special ball striking. It was fantastic from him," said Muthusamy.
