South Africa continued its commanding performance in the second cricket test against India, finishing the morning session of Day 4 with a significant lead of 395 runs. The Proteas, who started the day at 26-0, saw a strong opening partnership of 59 runs between Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton. However, India’s Ravindra Jadeja struck twice, dismissing Rickelton for 35 and Markram for 29, leaving South Africa at 77-3. Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs then steadied the innings with an unbeaten 30-run stand, taking the score to 107-3 by the first interval. De Zorzi showcased his aggressive batting with two fours and a six, while Stubbs adopted a defensive approach, facing 56 deliveries. Earlier, Marco Jansen’s impressive 6-48 had helped South Africa secure a 314-run first innings lead after India was bowled out for 201 in response to South Africa’s 489. The Proteas, leading the two-match series after their 30-run victory in the opener, are now eyeing their first test series win on Indian soil since 2000-01.
