India vs South Africa Score 2nd Test, Day 2 Highlights: The opening half an hour belonged to India as they only conceded 14 runs in 7 overs. But the next 30 belonged to the hosts as Keegan Petersen and Dean Elgar fended off the attack from Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, and Mohammed to bring up a gritty 50-run stand. They went on to add 24 runs to it before Shardul Thakur got the wicket of Dean Elgar. The Proteas skipper edged the ball to the wicketkeeper after scoring 28. In the very next over, Keegan Petersen smashed Shami for three consecutive fours and brought up his maiden Test 50. Shardul Thakur bagged two more wickets, of Petersen (62) and Rassie van der Dussen (1) to leave the hosts at 102/4 at Lunch on Day 2. In the first hour of the second session, Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen frustrated the Indian bowlers by stitching a 60-run stand. However, the joy was short-lived as Thakur came back to dismiss them on 51 and 21, respectively, to bag his maiden Test cricket five-wicket haul. Shami then removed Kagiso Rabada for a duck and SA reached 191/7 at Tea. Keshav Maharaj and Marco Jansen then stitched a useful 38-run stand for the 8th wicket to take SA into a first innings lead. Bumrah then cleaned up Maharaj on 22 to bag his first wicket of the match. Eventually, Thakur picked up two more wickets, Jansen (21) and Lungi Ngidi (2), to finish with career-best figures of 7/61 and help India bowl the hosts out of 229. The visitors only trail by 27. The Rahul-led side gained advantage in quick time as KL Rahul (9) and Mayank Agarwal smashed a few boundaries to take India into the lead only after 8 overs. Jansen removed Rahul and soon after, Duanne Oliver trapped Agarwal LBW on 23. Then, out-of-form batter Ajinkya Rahane (11*) and Cheteshwar Pujara (35*) played out the final half an hour to take India to 85/2 after 20 overs at Stumps. India currently lead by 58 runs.

India vs South Africa: WHAT HAPPENED TO RVD'S DISMISSAL?
We got to know that there wasn't conclusive evidence for the umpires to reconsider their decision. What usually happens is that the umpires have a look and if they find good enough evidence, they take it to the opposition captain and ask him if they want to withdraw the appeal. In this case, since the evidence of the ball bouncing on the ground before Pant's gloves wasn't conclusive, the discussion ended very quickly.
