Bumrah gets things going in Guwahati and there’s early movement straightaway. Markram leaves the first two, survives an inside-edge onto the pad on the third, and then a hooping inswinger down leg beats everyone to the fence for four byes. South Africa off the mark, India already buzzing.

Updated on:
Welcome to the live coverage of the India vs South Africa, 2nd Test Day 1: The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati makes its Test debut as India and South Africa lock horns in the 2nd match starting today. With the visitors already 1-0 up in the two-match series (of the Freedom Trophy 2025-26) after their stunning 30-run win at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, the stakes couldn't be higher: India must win to level the series, while the Proteas -- the ICC World Test Championship holders -- chase a rare away series victory in the toughest conditions. The clash is layered with intrigue, especially with pitch talk dominating the cricket world everywhere, from Guwahati to Perth, where Day 1 of the first Australia vs England Ashes Test witnessed a record 19 wickets fall in a single day's play. With fresh red-soil pitch, early morning starts to beat the sunset, and the added drama of Rishabh Pant captaining India after Shubman Gill's injury, expect a lot of drama and intrigue on Day 1 of India vs South Africa 2nd Test. As Guwahati, India's 30th Test venue, enters into cricketing folklore, follow the IND vs SA cricket live score and updates here:
