Guwahati, India – A remarkable lower-order batting display propelled South Africa to a commanding 489 on Day 2 of the second Test against India in Guwahati. Senuran Muthusamy’s maiden Test century (109) and a near-century from Marco Jansen (93) were the highlights as the Proteas added 243 runs to their overnight score.

Resuming at 247/6, South Africa initially adopted a cautious approach, with Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne (45) patiently building a partnership. However, the game shifted as Marco Jansen joined Muthusamy. Together they counterattacked, smashing sixes and boundaries to accelerate the scoring.

Muthusamy reached his century with a mix of aggression and composure, earning him accolades from the South African dressing room. Jansen, meanwhile, continued his aggressive strokeplay, falling just short of his century, dismissed for 93.

Indian bowlers toiled hard, with Kuldeep Yadav picking up 4 wickets for 115 runs. Jasprit Bumrah took 2-75.
India ended the day at 9/0, facing a stiff challenge to overhaul South Africa’s imposing total. Play was called off early due to fading light.
