After bundling out India for 201, South Africa opted to continue batting, refusing to enforce the follow-on, and stretched its lead to 314 runs, with Aiden Markram (12) and Ryan Rickelton (13) standing unbeaten at the crease.

South Africa faced eight overs in the final session after dismissing India for 201 in 83.5 overs in their first innings.

The Proteas, who had posted 489 in their first innings, are now 314 runs ahead generally with two days left in the Test. The visitors had won the first Test by 30 runs in Kolkata.

Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal (58) and KL Rahul (22) gave the team a steady start, but both were a little unlucky to get out on the only two deliveries from spinners that bounced from length to hit their stumps.

Slumping from 95 for 1 to 122 for 7 required an audacious attitude towards the opposition's bowling attack and a shortage of respect for the game situation.

Sudharsan (15), Jurel 0) and Pant (7) were out in a space of 13 balls and wouldn't like to look at those removed again.

The determined as ever Washington Sundar (48 off 92 balls) added 62 runs in just under 35 overs with the brave Kuldeep Yadav (19 off 134 balls).

India's innings took a surprising turn as they slouched to 102 for 5, and the two all-rounders, Nitish Kumar Reddy (10) and Ravindra Jadeja (6), floundered to cope with Marco Jansen's well-placed, confrontational deliveries.
