A devastating bowling display by Marco Jansen left India's batting line-up in disarray during the second Guwahati Test. India, trailing by 315 runs, ended day three's second session at 174/7. Despite promising starts, India's batsmen faltered under pressure, with only Sundar and Yadav staying unbeaten.

In a dramatic twist at the Guwahati Test, South African bowler Marco Jansen's aggressive spell dismantled India's batting order, leaving them precariously placed at 174/7 by the close of the second session on day three. Washington Sundar and Kuldeep Yadav remained unbeaten as India fell behind by 315 runs.

India began the second session on shaky ground at 102/4, with captain Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease. However, Pant's reckless attempt at a big hit led to his swift dismissal, followed by quick wickets, including Jadeja's, bringing India's situation to a critical state.
