The third day of the second Test match between India and South Africa witnessed intense cricketing action. South Africa concluded its first innings with a formidable score of 489. By tea on the same day, India had etched 102/4 on the scoreboard, leaving fans on edge.

India's innings began with some early challenges as key batsmen fell prey to the South African bowlers. Yashasvi Jaiswal's 58 runs provided a promising start but wickets tumbled at regular intervals, leaving Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja to stabilize the situation at the crease.

South Africa's bowlers, particularly Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer, proved their mettle. Harmer took two crucial wickets, including that of Yashasvi Jaiswal, while Jansen's disciplined line and length earned him the wicket of Dhruv Jurel.
