IND Vs SA Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 4: Ravindra Jadeja Strikes First Blow, Rickelton Falls|RSA 63/1 (21.5)

India finally land the first breakthrough of the day and it is Ryan Rickelton, who departs for a score of 35 off 64. Rickelton was trying to go for a glory shot as he went down the ground to hit it over on-side. However, the left-hander miscued it with a leading edge towards cover, where Mohammed Siraj timed his jump well and completed an easy catch

50 up for South Africa in their 2nd innings with the bat. Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram have looked solid since the start of the game and have been very tight with their techniques.

Rishabh Pant has introduced all his five bowlers - Bumrah, Siraj, Kuldeep, Washington and Jadeja into the attack as the hosts look for the first wicket.

4 overs have flown by and South Africa are batting cautiosly at the moment with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj making the new ball seam. Rishabh Pant has also introduced Washtington Sundar into the attack.

Here we go! 1st session of the fourth day is underway in Guwahati and it's Jasprit Bumrah, who bowls the first over of the day to Ryan Rickelton. Remember, India will need early wickets and if they get 2-3 in the first few hours, then game will surely be on.

In case you missed most of the action, here's a short recap - Temba Bavum had won the toss and chose to bat first on November 22. South Africa ended up posting a mammoth 489 runs in the 1st innings, thanks to Senuran Muthusamy's century and Marco Jansen's 93 off 91.

The top-order also made crucial contributions with Markram, Rickelton scoring in the 30s. Stubbs and Bavuma scored 49 and 41 respectively.

The Proteas ended up batting for entire two days and yesterday as India got out to bat, Marco Jansen shellshocked the Indians with his 6-wicket haul which was complimented by Simon Harmer (3/64) and Keshav Maharaj (1/39).

The hosts were bundled out for just 201 with Yashasvi Jaiswal becoming the only one to score a half-century.

It is very tough being an Indian bowler at the moment. They bowled for the entire first two days, and then took the field again yesterday after India were bowled out for 201.

The workload has surely been immense but they have got a massive job to do today. Early wickets is what the Indian camp will be looking for.

The mantra is simple - hit the right line-length or hit the stumps, either ways, starting with a flurry of wickets will be important for Bumrah and co.

India are potentially inching closer towards a home Test series whitewash for the first time since they lost to New Zealand by 3-0 last year. South Africa hold a commanding position in this match, leading by 314 runs with all 10 wickets available to surmount more pressure on the hosts today.

Ryan Rickelton (12*) and Aiden Markram (13*) saw off day 3 without losing their wickets and they will start from from 26/0 today.

Greetings, readers. Welcome to everyone joining us early this Tuesday, as we build up to the start of the fourth day of the second and final India vs South Africa Test in Guwahati.
