India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: 50-up Muthusamy key for SA, Verreynne nears fifty in post-Tea session

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Marco Jansen left seething after missing out on his maiden Test hundred, as South Africa put up 489; Kuldeep Yadav starred with a four-wicket haul for India. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj struck in the ongoing post-lunch session, as India breathed a sigh of relief on Day 2 of the second Test in Guwahati on Sunday. Bumrah removed Simon Harmer (5) and Siraj got Senuran Muthusamy’s (109) crucial wicket. Earlier, Muthusamy got his ton in the pre-Lunch session, taking his side to 428/7 in 137 overs at Lunch. Meanwhile, Marco Jansen (51*) also got his fifty, building a dominant partnership with Muthusamy. The visitors did get their first wicket after Tea as a stumping saw Kyle Verreynne depart for 45 off 122 balls. The wicket also ended his partnership with Muthuswamy.

The overnight duo started cautiously and employed a patient approach in the first session, emulating Temba Bavuma’s style from the first Test. The pair only punished loose balls, with Muthusamy also getting his half-century off 121 balls. The first session was also wicketless as the visitors posted 316/6 in 111 overs at Tea.

A finely balanced and even first day meant honours were fairly shared initially. India earlier had their noses just ahead after taking 6 wickets on Day 1, thanks to the spinners wiping through the Proteas middle order and ensuring no top order batter got set enough for a big score.
