On the third morning of the second Test, India's top order crumbled against South Africa's bowling attack, reaching 102 for 4 at tea. Yashasvi Jaiswal's 58 offered brief resistance, while wickets of KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, and Dhruv Jurel fell around him.

South Africa, riding high on their first innings total of 489, looked to intensify the pressure. Stand-in captain Rishabh Pant, alongside Ravindra Jadeja, remained at the crease as India's innings needed stabilization.

The morning saw Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj shine, claiming wickets crucial to South Africa's command. With India trailing by 387 runs, the road ahead looks challenging.
