SA 26-0 (8 Ovs) and 489 vs India 201 | SCORECARD

Welcome to updates on Day 4 of the 2nd test between India and South Africa in Guwahati on Tuesday. 

On Day 4, Indian bowlers will have to come good and try and restrict SA to give themselves a semblance of a chance. 

The pitch is not going to have demons and Indian bowlers will have some moisture to work with. 

Sai Sudharsan was careless, Dhruv Jurel was indiscreet and skipper Rishabh Pant plain irresponsible as a progressively ugly Indian batting collapse left them on the brink of an embarrassing home series whitewash against South Africa, in Guwahati, on Monday.

On a pitch that Kuldeep Yadav had compared to a "road", the Indian batters were bounced out for a lowly 201 in their first innings by a 6 feet 8 inches tall pacer Marco Jansen, who returned sizzling match figures of 6 for 48 after smashing 93 on the second day.

At stumps on the third day, South Africa were 26 for no loss to stretch their overall lead to 314 with two days left in the game.
