IND vs SA 2nd Test – Scoreboard
TOSS – South Africa
South Africa wins toss, opt to bat against India.
DAY 4 REPORT
No team enjoys being denied the power of choice, of having to surrender its destiny in a game to its opposition.
It is an ordeal India hasn’t been put through often in home Tests in recent years. Guwahati had the fortune – or misfortune, if you are an Indian supporter – to witness one of those rare occurrences on Tuesday.
By the time Day 4 of the second Test reached its midway point, India’s fate in the game rested squarely on South Africa’s intentions in its second outing with the bat.
Would the visiting team opt for the safety of a draw, sealing a first Test series win in India in a quarter of a century, or would it attempt an outright triumph, eyeing vital WTC points?
Ultimately, South Africa found a tricky middle ground, declaring on 260 for five, giving India just over a day to chase 549, the highest target it has ever had to face in a home Test.
