India Collapse As South Africa Close In On Historic Win
India were dismissed for 201 in their first innings of the second Test in Guwahati, falling 288 runs short of South Africa’s total. Despite favourable batting conditions, India’s top and middle order faltered again, raising concerns about consistency and shot selection.
Jansen Dominates With Six-Wicket Haul
South African all-rounder Marco Jansen delivered the standout performance of the day, claiming six wickets for 48 runs. His relentless accuracy and bounce troubled Indian batters throughout the innings. With this effort, Jansen has now dismissed India multiple times in the series, becoming the biggest difference-maker for the visitors.
South Africa Extend Their Advantage
At stumps, South Africa reached 26 for no loss in their second innings, stretching their overall lead to 314 runs. Having already won the first Test, they now stand on the brink of securing their first Test series victory on Indian soil in 25 years.
Pressure Rises On India
The heavy deficit has put India under immense pressure as they look for answers ahead of the remaining days. Analysts say the team must reassess its approach against the South African pace attack, which has dominated throughout the series.
