“Now whatever comes next, which is Day 5. We have to play good cricket and trust our defence, that’s the key. If we manage to play out the entire fifth day, then it will be a win-win situation for us,” he said after Day 4.

“I don’t find any difference from when we played them in 2019. They almost have the same squad. In cricket, it’s all about timing. When you’re not winning the toss, everything starts from there. If we had won the toss on this wicket, we would have been in a much better situation, but that’s part and parcel of the game,” Jadeja said after Day 4 in Guwahati.
"Little bit (disappointed?), but they're two down now so we'll take that. Wasn't an overs thing (declaration), was more about the time. We had forty minutes after lunch. Thought I'll give it a go (for the hundred), and then when Jadeja came on, that was the last over, so I thought two hits is my best shot. If you were just looking to defend (deliveries out of the rough) I thought you'll be a sitting duck," said Tristan Stubbs.
“We wanted them (India) to really grovel, to steal a phrase,” Conrad said, referring to Greig’s controversial statement.
“Their bowlers spent a lot of time out there. We saw the effects of batting for two full days in the first innings and what sort of effect it had on them.”
Hello and welcome to the fifth and final day of the 2nd Test between India and South Africa from Guwahati's Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
