00:00.
00:10Indeed, the Eden Gardens was magnificent on day one
00:14with so many people turning up.
00:16We're in the east, of course, for the series.
00:18Kolkata and then to Goa Harti for the second Test match.
00:22But for the moment, we're all in attendance here
00:25for the start of day two of this Test match.
00:28Marco Jansson.
00:30First run is not quite at the middle of the bat,
00:43but he'll take that because it takes him to 4,000 Test runs.
00:46Kiel Rahul.
00:54That will race away.
00:56It's hit the practice pitches.
00:58And into the fence.
01:00Oh, what a shot.
01:05That's his natural talent.
01:09The World Cup for the D20 World Cup first time.
01:13He's got it away this time.
01:15And he'll find the fence.
01:17He's a tall man here to reach out for that sweet shot.
01:22Oh, lovely shot.
01:27What a shot that is.
01:31Wistie.
01:32And he's played it with a flourish.
01:35Yeah!
01:36That's good.
01:37The first one turned, didn't hit the bat.
01:38The second one turned.
01:39And has hit the bat.
01:40Washington has to make the long walk back.
01:41It was a very good ball.
01:42Not much could be done with that.
01:43Straight into the hands of Slip.
01:44Good bowling.
01:45Good start to Simon Armour.
01:46Yeah, he bowled well yesterday, didn't he?
01:47Just the one over.
01:48He got a couple to purchase.
01:49And he's into the attack.
01:50It's just taking the two deliveries to have an impact.
01:53Targeting the stumps.
01:54The first one beat the outside edge.
01:55That one was close to the stumps as well.
01:57Swimder felt like he had to be out in front of himself playing.
01:58It was a very cautious 29.
01:59But a good foundation laid for India.
02:00But South Africa would be happy.
02:01They got a breakthrough.
02:0275 for two.
02:03And he was able to go straight into the hands of Slip.
02:04And he was able to go straight into the hands of Slip.
02:05Good bowling.
02:06Good start to Simon Armour.
02:07Yeah, he bowled well yesterday, didn't he?
02:08Just the one over.
02:09He got a couple to purchase.
02:10And he's into the attack.
02:11It's just taking the two deliveries to have an impact.
02:12Targeting the stumps.
02:13The first one beat the outside edge.
02:14That one was close to the stumps as well.
02:17Swimder felt like he had to be out in front of himself playing.
02:22It was a very cautious 29.
02:2575 for two.
02:28And there he goes.
02:30First stop.
02:31First boundary for Shubman Gill.
02:34A shot that he likes playing, mainly in white ball cricket.
02:36But now this is played to the field.
02:3979 for two.
02:45KL Rahul says, alright, it's time for me to get into the thick of things.
02:50Steps out, gets onto one, and launches it past the boundary.
02:54There.
02:55Turns.
02:56The keeper had no clue there.
02:57Spun right past them.
02:58Goes to the boundary.
02:59The question is, will South Africa be happy?
03:00Or India be happy?
03:01Oh, that was edge as well.
03:02Rishabh Pan lucky.
03:03Aidan Markram didn't see that one well.
03:04We've spoken about Keshav Maharaj not finding success.
03:05Here is an opportunity.
03:06South Africa lets it go.
03:07And then Rishabh Pan says, okay, you've got the edge.
03:08Now see what it feels to hit the center of my bat.
03:09Down it goes for a six.
03:10100 comes up for India.
03:11Oh, the edge.
03:12There's the wicket.
03:13Finally, Keshav Maharaj gets the wicket.
03:14Finally, Keshav Maharaj gets the wicket.
03:15We've been saying you're never in on this track.
03:21Kheer Rahul is waiting.
03:22The umpires are having a look.
03:23But it looked like it went in.
03:24And then Rishabh Pan says, okay, you've got the edge.
03:26Now see what it feels to hit the center of my bat.
03:29Down it goes for a six.
03:30100 comes up for India.
03:31Oh, the edge.
03:34There's the wicket.
03:36Finally, Keshav Maharaj gets the wicket.
03:39We've been saying you're never in on this track.
03:42Kheer Rahul is waiting.
03:46The umpires are having a look.
03:48But it looked like it went in to the hands of the slip fielder.
03:53Well, it's taken the edge.
03:55Has it bounced?
03:56That's what Rahul is saying because it went very quickly.
04:03Yeah.
04:07Keep it rolling.
04:08Keep it rolling through, please.
04:09Keep it rolling through.
04:12Ready with my decision for the big screen.
04:20It is a very, very good catch by Aidan Markram.
04:24And India lose another.
04:26And India 109 for three.
04:28Kheer Rahul gone for 39.
04:33Straight away.
04:35Jadija says, I'm going to take on the spinner.
04:41So Rishabh Pant.
04:43So, so Rishabh Pant.
04:45There is a man on the boundary at Longhorn.
04:48But do you think he was worried?
04:50Not for a second.
04:51And he's played it fine enough.
04:56He'll go to the boundary.
04:57He'll go to the boundary.
04:59You can see why this crowd had a huge cheer when he came out to bat.
05:03He's 25 of 19 when survival is tough.
05:07That'll be gone.
05:08Just look for a little nudge.
05:09They took the spinner off.
05:10Brought the pacer on.
05:11And it's produced a wicket.
05:12India lose another.
05:13This game is galloping along.
05:14He was scoring quickly.
05:15He was helping his non-striker as well.
05:16This is bang on the money.
05:17Good height into the armpit.
05:18Not much room for Rishabh Pant.
05:20And the bowling change has done the trick.
05:22A massive strike this for South Africa.
05:28A hundred and thirty-two for four.
05:44Pant goes for 27.
05:49well well well is he in form or what
05:54brilliant absolutely brilliant from Dhruv Jurel we saw what he did as soon as he walked out to
06:06the crease a short delivery pulled away beautiful a great square cut and a sumptuous cover drive
06:17to start off the afternoon this time it's Ravindra Jadeja through the offside and the bowler yet
06:27again Corbin Bosch also acts as a fulcrum taken taken as we were heaping praise he gets the wicket
06:38of Dhruv Jurel a simple chip back to the bowler and India are five down yeah roll it through please
06:45roll it right through thank you fingers clearly underneath the ball ready with my decision for
06:52the big screen
06:53yeah pretty convincing that catch you don't need to have a relook and Dhruv Jurel is on his way
07:04he goes for 14 India 153 for five
07:11down the leg no movement from Kyle Verena be interesting to see what the umpire says
07:22leading edge and that flies away before
07:28now is that bad first fingers gone up
07:37this is the ball that we're all asking can he get the ball that goes straight through with the arm
07:46umpire has taken his time
07:49ball tracking coming now pitching outside off impact in line wickets hitting
07:57Rod you can save your original decision of out stand by on screen single now
08:05so jadid has got to go to and south africa keep chipping away lead just 12 India 171 for six he's gone for 27
08:20now there's a sound as it passed there's a sound as it passed finger goes up
08:23Kuldeep Yadav's got to walk yes
08:26yes
08:28Verena taking a good catch down the leg side India lose another
08:36bit of an effort ball this from Janssen that is cross scene
08:40goes down leg a little unlucky for Kuldeep Yadav
08:44good catch this by Kyle Verena down the leg side
08:50really big spike on ultra edge
08:53South Africa picked up their seventh wicket
09:04Kuldeep goes for one India 172 for seven
09:12cracking square drive
09:15boundary after 48 balls and yes he's going to start playing his shots
09:20oh yes that's cut away in the gap
09:27and a big cheer from the crowd
09:37right through his defense
09:39here's a clean up Mohamed Sirajah and Sean Pollock the stumps coming into play as a fast bowling coach
09:49you always talk about top of off stump but why because it's difficult for the top six
09:54it's going to be difficult for the tail enders as well we saw a brilliant one from Brumrah
09:57early on in the test match to Ron Rickleton very similar from around the wicket for Marco Janssen
10:02he gets his third an important one job well done by the fast bowler for South Africa
10:07Sirajah goes for one 187 for eight
10:10he gets a top edge
10:20and a backward point comes into play and four wickets here for Hama and it's been a good performance
10:26by South Africa they bowled out India for 189 and the lead for India 30.
10:34he followed him dragged it down short and it just looped up in the air
10:39Marco Janssen's got massive hands he won't drop that when he's got time to get underneath it
10:44and it has been a really good effort here from South Africa India were 150 for five and they've
10:50managed to bowl them out for under 190 so they'll feel that the 30 runs behind yes it is a deficit
10:57but no doubt they'll feel still in this contest yes and this is going to be a very good test match
11:0620 wickets have fallen already we still come up to tea time on day two
11:12things moving at a rapid pace so there you go it's a pretty tight test match this South Africa bowled
11:19out one for 159 yesterday India bowled out for 189 and Shubman Gill didn't come out to bat
11:26India leading by 30. first ball Bumbra Rickleton
11:33with the lead of just 30 you certainly want to make sure
11:37that you try and get a couple of wickets maybe more
11:44he is a handful now on this occasion he'll run away to the boundary as Lake Bais
11:51but there's always something happening when Bumbra has got ball in hand
11:59now easy runs this will be a big relief very rare of Bumbra to give that kind of wit
12:05oh that should be very close up goes the finger for what might be number one
12:16don't think he read the turn
12:17Markham's got a grimace Rickleton is about to walk off and India have won before the deficit
12:30has been cleared
12:31he bowls it quicker it's on the stump straight down doesn't turn he's paid for the turn you can see
12:40where his bat is and where the pad where the ball is
12:43top stuff excellent bowling this from Kuldeep Yadou very good captaincy by Rishabh Pant as well he would
12:51have been tempted because Rickleton was on strike to bring in the right-handed off spinner of of
12:57Washington Sundar he's got Rickleton for 11 it's 18 for one in the seventh over
13:09that'll trickle away for four
13:12and leg by signal so 25 for one South Africa trailing by five now
13:17and what a way to get up tried to sweep it just stopped on it great presence of mind
13:26at forward shot like Dhruv Jurel
13:29he's pretty nifty with his hands and that's exactly what it has done for India
13:35brought a wicket and Jadeja strikes
13:39this has been the strength of Jurel we saw that in England as well when he came out to field he was
13:43always there you see he's not taking his eyes off the ball at all and that is what has enabled him to
13:52recover and take that catch
13:5925 for two and Markram's gone for four
14:04he's just come off an over a bit of a bending problem there for Jaspreet Bumrah
14:20oh is that an edge yes it is the finger goes up Jadeja has done the damage again
14:26and India have their third
14:27it extra bounce faint edge but getting his hands into a lovely position going with the ball in the
14:35center of the glove it's as good as it gets gives you a lot of confidence as a keeper
14:42yes uh excellent cricket all around beautifully bold and smart work with the gloves
14:47yes so another wicket goes down south africa leading by just eight they're 38 for three
14:58oh is it out yes the finger goes up you wonder if he's going to review it
15:04he was a glove on to the pad he's thinking about it
15:08it's not getting much support from temple performer he's turned around
15:11and tony dezzorzi is now on his way and sean pollock you said uh the match could get over on day three
15:20well we have to get past day two first
15:25a straightforward chance you can see just hitting the glove
15:29and jadeja on a roll at the moment three wickets very quickly
15:40that's what he does uh on indian tracks when the ball is uh turning and bouncing
15:44the zoze goes for two 40 for four
15:50edge and that's a fortunate boundary for timber bavuma
15:53it damaged the shoulder that's beautifully played by timber bavuma an absolute lull around
16:02the ground not a round of applause at all but it's a boundary for south africa
16:09that's beautifully played there's been very few balls that the south africans have been able to put
16:13away with confidence and this is an example of it timber doesn't miss out
16:17it knocks over the off stump that is why jadeja is so difficult
16:28he's looking on in disbelief but he's got to go because the stump has been knocked back
16:32he's gone close and he's come wide again some of them were skidding on this one what a beauty
16:44pitches on the stumps the expression on tristan stubbs's face says he can't believe it
16:53how did it get through india elated they picked up their fifth wicket
16:59tristan stubbs has gone for five south africa 60 for five
17:07who just flapped at it he'll get four but that was fortuitous
17:12but it doesn't matter lead now 43
17:18bold it's not a shot he wants to see again kyle varana
17:21it's not he does not want to look at his captain and look him in the eye again it was a hike and it
17:31didn't come off
17:35it is a difficult shot to play
17:39it's across the line it's basically just a slog hoping to come off
17:43south africa have lost their sixth wicket now they're 75 for six that's the end of karl varane for nine
17:59that's nicely put away
18:00the first six of the innings
18:13well he's given it and he's walking off marco jansen
18:20could be out of striking it's the wrong one he's gone for the big one big sweep
18:27huh they might have got a bit of a glove on it i think it went bat onto the side of his body maybe
18:39even off the gloves of rishad punt there's a smile to say hey my suggestion worked but it was a
18:44wonderful take by keil rahul going low to his left jansen goes for 13 91 for 7. oh the empire's having a chat
18:51uh play was called off at 4 30 yesterday but the light meter obviously saying that the light has dropped
19:02there's checking and uh i think they're going off
19:05so that's it now we come to the end of the play on day two
19:11with uh india in a strong position they've reduced south africa to 93 for seven in the second innings
19:18after taking a lead of 30 so effectively south africa 63 runs ahead and they've got three wickets in
19:24hand but that's how things stand at the moment south africa leading by 63 they've got three wickets in
19:31hand
19:34simon harmer taking four wickets there for 30. the pick of the bowlers and he'll have a role to play in the
19:40second innings as well
