Key Developments from Guwahati Test
GUWAHATI, India (AP) — South Africa dominated the morning session on Monday, claiming four wickets and putting India under heavy pressure at 102-4 by lunch on Day 3 of the second cricket test. India still trails by 387 runs in its first innings, leaving the hosts facing an uphill battle.
Match Progress
The South African bowlers effectively exploited the pitch conditions, making run-scoring difficult for India's experienced batting lineup. The disciplined attack led by pace and swing forced early breakthroughs, including key dismissals in the opening hour.
India’s attempt to rebuild the innings was hindered by sharp fielding and consistent line and length from the South African bowlers. Despite brief resistance from the middle order, wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, keeping South Africa firmly in command.
Outlook
With India struggling to build partnerships and South Africa maintaining pressure, the visitors now hold a strong advantage in the match. The remainder of the day will be crucial for India as they try to narrow the deficit and avoid a follow-on.
“The bowlers executed the game plan perfectly and maintained pressure throughout the session,” said a team spokesperson after the morning play.
