**JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA** – Day two of the ongoing test matches saw a mixed bag of results. While South Africa enjoyed a dominant performance, India and Afghanistan faced significant deficits against their opponents.
South Africa extended their lead significantly, adding 88 runs for their final two wickets after Aiden Markram’s impressive 89 and Corbin Bosch’s unbeaten 81 on his Test debut. This strong showing leaves their opponents with a considerable challenge.
In stark contrast, India’s women’s team secured a comfortable 5-wicket victory, with 130 balls to spare. However, the men’s team’s performance was less impressive, with India trailing by a substantial 310 runs. Afghanistan’s position was even more precarious, trailing by a massive 491 runs. Pakistan, meanwhile, finds themselves trailing by a narrow 2 runs.
