India vs South Africa Highlights, 3rd Test, Day 2: Kohli, Pujara take IND to 57/2 at Stumps, lead by 70 at Newlands

That's all the action we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us. Expect tomorrow to be a decisive day and who knows, we might even have our series winner tomorrow. So, make sure you join us for an unmissable Day 3.

 Until then, this is Shivansh Gupta bidding goodbye and goodnight. CIAO!

The day began with Bumrah removing Markram on the second ball of the day. Then, Maharaj played a few lovely drives for 4 before being castled by Umesh Yadav. From thereon, the second hour of the morning, belonged to the hosts as Keegan Petersen and vd Dussen batted exceptionally well to put on a 50-run stand. However, that stand didn't last long after the resumption as Yadav removed vd Dussen before Temba Bavuma and Petersen forged a brilliant partnership. Shami then removed Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne in the same over before Bumrah got his sweet revenge against Marco Jansen. In the final session of the day, Bumrah came out will all guns blazing to bag his 7th Test five-wicket haul and help India bundle the hosts out for 210, handing his team a 13-run lead. In response, IND lost both their openers early; while Rabada dismissed Mayank Agarwal (7), while Jansen got rid of KL Rahul on 10. Eventually. skipper Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara made sure India ended the day unscathed with their unbeaten run-stand for the third wicket.

The two senior pros of the team have been watchful so far as they know that India cannot afford to lose another wicket before Stumps on Day 2.

FOUR AND FIFTY UP! Crunched through the covers and the wide half-volley receives the right treatment
IND are 50/2 after 12 overs, lead by 63 runs.

Rabada comes steaming in, but the ball stays just a tad low. Kohli gets his bat down in time and sends it behind the keeper and wide of fine leg for a boundary. India are already into the 40s in the 11th over of the day. One would say they're scoring at a decent pace - at more than 4 runs an over but 14 of those have come in extra. A few byes for fours and four no balls.

Rabada comes in with fire but Pujara with his soft hands, edges the ball through the vacant space between third slip and gully to get himself his second boundary. He is 8 off 10 balls, all scoring shots have been boundaries.

Almost plays on… Tries to leave the ball at the last moment, but while doing so, the ball brushes on to Kohli's elbow and falls just wide off the stumps. Change of tactics. Jansen comes round the wicket but negated safely by Kohli.

EDGED and GONE! Rahul perishes... Markram takes his first catch as Jansen gets a wicket. Too full but Rahul, instead of dispatching it through covers, edges the ball to first slip when the SA skipper completes the catch. South Africa are charged… and on fire.

Hoping to get the ball to seam nicely in to KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara. Meanwhile, a word on Rabada. How good has he been since his off-colour show at Centurion? And still he has managed to register terrific figures in the series - 

GORGEOUS! A middle-stump half-volley and Mayank Agarwal presents the full face of the bat and he creams it back past the bowler for 4.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN NEXT BALL! Length ball on off stump that kicks up suddenly, Mayank is squared up and there isn't much he can do other than try to defend it. In that attempt, he edges to Elgar at first slip.

IND are 20/1 after 4.5 overs, lead by 33 runs

SHOT! KLassy Rahul off the mark with backfoot punch past backward point for 4.

JEEEZ! WHAT A GOOD-LOOKING SHOT! A rank half-volley outside off from Olivier and Rahul drives the ball through covers for 4.

10 off the over. IND are 15/0 after 4 overs, lead by 28 runs

HOW'S THAT? OUT! INDIA REVIEW! A lovely nip-backer from Rabada that strikes Mayank on the front pad. Umpire gives it out. UltraEdge shows no bat. 

Ball-tracking shows 2 reds and a green. INDIA RETAIN REVIEW AS DRS SAVES MAYANK. NOT-OUT

IND are 5/0 after 3 overs, lead by 18 runs

INDIA AND MAYANK ON THE BOARD! Duanne Olivier, who is sharing the new ball with Rabada, goes short and wide. Mayank punches the ball through cover and the batters run 3.

IND 3/0 after 2 overs, lead by 16 runs

A strong start by Rabada. Beats Rahul's edge a couple of times before copelting a maiden

IND 0/0 after 1 over, lead by 13 runs

India openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal begin the visitors' second innings. Kagiso Rabada is opening the attack

They lead by 13 runs and 19 overs of play left. LET'S PLAY!

When vd Dussen and Petersen were batting, taking SA to 100/3 at Lunch, not many would have expected SA to not take the lead. Credit to Bumrah and Shami. They bowled hard all day. It began with Shami's twin-wicket over and then Bumrah did what Bumrah does; pick up key wickets (this time of Petersen) and clean up the tail

EDGED AND GONE! 5 WICKETS FOR BUMRAH! SA ALL-OUT. A top edge off Ngidi's bat and he is caught by Ashwin at covers and that's the end of their first innings

SA are 209/9 after 75 overs, trail IND by 14 runs

SA are 209/9 after 74 overs, trail IND by 14 runs

FOUR! Inside edge and the ball off Olivier's bat squeezes through the gap between his stumps and the leg slip.

He drives the fifth ball of the over to deep point for 2

Good stuff from Olivier.

SA are 206/9 after 73 overs, trail IND by 17 runs
