2nd Test: Rickelton, Markram Swell SA’s Lead To 314 After Jansen's Six-for Bowls Out India For 201
Barsapara Cricket Stadium: The chatter ahead of day three’s play in the second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium was whether India could make runs quickly to claw back in the game they need to win to level the series. But by the time bad light brought an early end to the proceedings, South Africa ended by being in complete command - reaching 26/0 in eight overs to extend their lead over India to 314 runs.

Openers Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram remained unbeaten on 13 and 12 respectively and ensured South Africa didn’t suffer any early loss till stumps came in early. But South Africa’s day of dominance was set up by left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen’s sensational six‑wicket haul, which dismantled India for 201 and gave South Africa a huge 288-run lead.
