2nd Test: Jansen Picks Six As SA Bowl India For 201, Set To Bat Again With 288-run Lead
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: Left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen delivered a superb bowling performance to claim 6-48, as South Africa bowled India out for 201 in 83.5 overs to take a 288-run lead on day three of second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Jansen’s short-ball barrage, combined with relentless accuracy, broke India’s middle order and triggered a collapse to leave them at 122/7. India’s lower order offered brief resistance through Washington Sundar (48 off 92 balls) and Kuldeep Yadav (19 off 134 balls) sharing a 72-run stand.
But once Simon Harmer took out Sundar and the second new ball was taken, Jansen returned to wrap up a disappointing Indian batting innings. Despite holding a commanding lead, South Africa opted against enforcing the follow-on, with captain Temba Bavuma consulting the team management before deciding to bat and calling for the light roller to be used before starting their second innings.
