- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR26.5 Castled! Guwahati comes back to life as Bumrah breaks through. After a series of length balls that pushed Markram onto the back foot, he slips one in full and straight around off, 140kph. He couldn't resist the drive, goes for it and gets a thick inside edge that dismantles the middle and leg stumps. Markram is livid with himself and has to walk back now. Bumrah should have had Markram in the first hour, has him on the last ball before tea on day 1 82/127.2 Gone! Kuldeep strikes with his second ball of this spell! Tossed up full outside off and it was drifting in. The ball spun away as Rickelton looked to drive and the edge is gobbled up by Pant! Suddenly South Africa have lost both set batters 82/263.1 Edged and taken! Kuldeep with some extra bounce does the trick as he draws Stubbs forward with a full ball angled across him. The ball shot up more than Stubbs expected and it flies to Rahul at first slip from high off the bat. Rahul does well to take it, having to move slightly to his right. Came quickly at him, but he makes amends for his drop earlier in the day. Stubbs falls one short of a half-century 187/457.2 Bavuma chips it to mid-off! Jadeja with the breakthrough! Good catch from Jaiswal too! This is tossed up full outside off, drifting in. Bavuma looks to loft it over the mid-off fielder but doesn't get under it. Jaiswal has to dive in front to take it, and he makes no mistake, catching it low. 166/381.1 Pant dives to his left and takes a superb catch! Siraj strikes on his first ball with the new cherry. Length ball slanting away from him, de Zorzi is not sure whether he should leave it or play it. Hangs his bat at it away from the body. The ball takes the outside edge and swerves away. Pant does well to cover the movement and take it in front of first slip. A late boost on the opening day for India 246/667.2 Hit straight to mid-off! Mulder what have you done? This is tossed up nice and slow outside off, 78kph, and Mulder looks for the inside out drive but gets no elevation on it as he hits it straight to Yashasvi Jaiswal, who completes an easy catch to leave Kuldeep doing a head-bobbing celebration 201/5138.1 the short ball has done the trick! Siraj surprises Muthusamy with a bumper, but he still takes him on and ends up getting a top-edge that flies straight to Jaiswa at fine leg. He ran in a few yards from the ropes and took it at a comfortable height. 431/8120.3 India finally have a wicket!. Clever from Jadeja. He saw Verreynne stepping out, Jadeja fired it wider, got it to rip away sharply to beat his jab and Pant did the rest. The umpires wanted to check if Pant collected the ball behind the stumps, and they inform Verreynne that all izz well. An 88-run partnership has been broken. The key for Jadeja there was also how he held his length back a touch to have him lunging at that. 334/7151.1 chopped on!! Jansen can't believe his lack of luck. He attacked Kuldeep all day, but now falls to a bottom edge while being just seven short of what would've been a maiden Test hundred. Jansen is off into the distance already, but not before giving South Africa a huge score. Kuldeep angled it across, and bowled it on a length around sixth stump. Jansen transferred his weight back to try and guide the ball wide of slip, but ended up getting a bottom edge. Who knows Jansen would have succeeded had he instead chosen to swing for six?! 489/10143.1 the off-stump is flattened! Bumrah bowls a beauty from wide of the crease. Gets this to angle in and straighten off a length to square Harmer who doesn't bother turning back because he knows what's just happened. 462/9Extras21 (b 8, lb 8, nb 4, w 1)TOTAL489 all out (151.1 Overs, RR: 3.23)Fall of wickets: 1-82 (Aiden Markram, 26.5 ov), 2-82 (Ryan Rickelton, 27.2 ov), 3-166 (Temba Bavuma, 57.2 ov), 4-187 (Tristan Stubbs, 63.1 ov), 5-201 (Wiaan Mulder, 67.2 ov), 6-246 (Tony de Zorzi, 81.1 ov), 7-334 (Kyle Verreynne, 120.3 ov), 8-431 (Senuran Muthusamy, 138.1 ov), 9-462 (Simon Harmer, 143.1 ov), 10-489 (Marco Jansen, 151.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR32.2 gone!! Popped up for Jansen at backward point. Jaiswal looks down on the pitch, as if to wonder how did that happen. South Africa needed a man as tall as Jansen there, as he dived forward to take the ball low. Harmer bowled it short and on off, getting the ball to turn away. But I think it went slower to Jaiswal than he expected, and he ended up tamely fending it to backward point after shaping to cut. The extra bounce may have helped Harmer too 95/221.3 Edged and taken! Good catch by Markram at slip and Maharaj breaks the resistance! It's full outside off, slowed down to 79kph, and the ball spins away with some extra bounce as Rahul lunges forward in defence to go off the shoulder of the blade. Markram takes a good low one-handed catch 65/134.3 good catch by Rickelton at midwicket!! SS throws it away - he had the opportunity at No. 3 on a flat pitch, and he falls on a ball he should have rather smashed for a boundary. But wait... the umpires have asked for a confirmation from the TV umpire. They want to check if the catch is clean, and indeed it is. The ball popped out of Rickelton's hands for a moment, but settled back in immediately after. Harmer bowled it short, and SS went for the pull. He hit it hard and flat, but Rickelton dived to his left to grab the ball 96/335.3 Jurel falls to the pull again!! The slowness of the pitch comes into play as well. Jansen bangs it short - and with that height of his, he gets some extra bounce - as Jurel goes for the pull from around off. But it turns out to be a mistimed shot - I almost thought it popped up off the bottom of the bat. Maharaj, at mid-on, went to his right, and kept his eyes on the dipping ball to grab it. South Africa running away with the session now 102/437.2 has he nicked it? Umpire thinks so! But Pant reviews. I thought I heard that snick too. Skipped out of his crease and Jansen dragged his length back. Pant tried to slap it away but could only manage an edge, confirmed by UltraEdge that's gobbled up and India's collapse continues! Pant's attempt to counterattack against Jansen goes horribly wrong 105/543.3 Jansen is really troubling India with the short stuff! This flies to the cordon off Jadeja's shoulder! But SA have reviewed. Another well-directed bouncer that angles in from outside off. And that's pinged off his shoulder, onto Jadeja's bat and straight to Markram in the cordon! Jadeja was trying to drop his hands and swivel out of the way, but can't get the bat low enough and is unlucky to get out like that. Good review and India lose their seventh 122/741.4 Absolute blinder from Markram! Jansen at it again! It's the short ball ploy that continues to work. Dug in short on leg and Reddy looks to fend it down. The ball flies off the glove and Markram runs to his right and flings himself at full stretch to grab it one-handed. South Africa's catching has been sensational today, and this might just be the best of the lot! India capitulating 119/678.1 Harmer does it again! Washington edges one to first slip! This is full and dipping outside off, and Washington was caught at the crease. He pushes at it and gets a thick edge and Markram takes a simple catch. A defiant knock comes to an end 194/881.5 Jansen has the five-for he thoroughly deserves! Kuldeep's 134-ball resistance is over. Back of length outside off, Kuldeep follows the ball and ends up giving catching practice to Aiden Markram, who completes a five-for of catches! 194/983.5 got him!! Jansen has six. He offers a smile to Bumrah. Short delivery yet again, and Bumrah fails to execute his attempted pull. Bavuma, meanwhile, asks his players around regarding what they think about the follow-on. He then rushes to the dugout. And, finally, he signals that South Africa will bat. By the way, this is how Jansen got his sixth: it was another short ball which climbed towards Bumrah's left shoulder on middle, and as Bumrah looked to pull, he got a top edge, under which KV settled without having to move an inch 201/10Extras9 (lb 8, nb 1)TOTAL201 all out (83.5 Overs, RR: 2.39)Fall of wickets: 1-65 (KL Rahul, 21.3 ov), 2-95 (Yashasvi Jaiswal, 32.2 ov), 3-96 (Sai Sudharsan, 34.3 ov), 4-102 (Dhruv Jurel, 35.3 ov), 5-105 (Rishabh Pant, 37.2 ov), 6-119 (Nitish Kumar Reddy, 41.4 ov), 7-122 (Ravindra Jadeja, 43.3 ov), 8-194 (Washington Sundar, 78.1 ov), 9-194 (Kuldeep Yadav, 81.5 ov), 10-201 (Jasprit Bumrah, 83.5 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR18.3 Tame dismissal, but Jadeja gets the breakthrough! Rickelton dances down to a full ball around off and looks to drive it with a straight bat. But he ends up slicing it off the outside half of the bat and Siraj at cover takes a good catch above his head 59/128.1 Knocked him over, a Jadeja special in Guwahati! Bowls it from slightly wide of the crease, spears it in on a length on middle and leg, 92.4kph. It grips and spins past Markram's forward-defence and rattles the stumps. Both the South Africa openers back in the hut with a lead of 362 74/278.3 Knocked over! And South Africa declare! Full on off and it spins away to hit the top of off as Stubbs attempts another slog sweep. Bavuma immediately signals the declaration. Stubbs misses out on his century by six runs, but more importantly South Africa have set India a mammoth target of 549 260/531.3 No mistake this time, the bounce works for Washington. Lands it on a fuller length on middle and spins down leg, 86.8kph. Bavuma is undone, almost unsighted, with the ball outside his eyeline. Gloves it straight to Reddy at leg slip. Good catch because Pant did dive in front of him! South Africa effectively 365 for 3 77/358.1 Plumb in front? The umpire thinks so, de Zorzi wants the TV umpire to intervene. Lands it on a length around off, he gets down to sweep, perhaps a tad early into the shot. He is beatenon the under edge and hit flush below the knee-roll. Three reds on ball-tracking and de Zorzi misses out on a half-century.

Jansen on the board nice and early 17/19.2 Jaffa! Harmer bowls a dream delivery to crash India's dreams. Nicely tossed up outside off, full as well, 83.2kph.
