With the help of Captain Virat Kohli’s unbeaten hundred India has reached 287/8 before the game was called off for lunch.
Earlier in the day, India began playing from 183/5.
On the second day Hashim Amla’s run out on 82 started the late slide as South Africa went from the comfort of 246-3 to 269-6 in the last 10 overs before stumps.
Vernon Philander also ran himself out for 0. In between those two dismissals, Quinton de Kock was out first ball off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
Ashwin was India’s best bowler with 3-90 as the seam attack struggled for most of the day on a surprisingly slow and lifeless pitch at SuperSport Park.
The late drama, though, and South Africa’s careless end to the day gave India a way back into the test and possibly the three-match series after going 1-0 down in Cape Town and starting the game in Centurion on the back foot.
South Africa’s innings was wrapped up for 335 after some inspired bowling performance by Shami, Aswin, and other Indian bowlers.
The latest score is India 303/8.
