India leads South Africa by 70 runs
On an exciting second day of the third and final Test here on Wednesday, Jasprit Bumrah silenced his doubters with one of his greatest five-wicket hauls in the traditional format, giving India a tiny advantage over South Africa.
India's 13-run lead was more about the psychological advantage they earned, and despite losing Mayank Agarwal and KL Rahul for little money, the visitors added runs at a reasonable rate to reach 57 for 2 at stumps.
We have to say that Jasprit Bumrah was at the heart of India's fast and savage counter-attack, claiming his seventh five-wicket haul, with Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav providing excellent support to enable them sweep out the Proteas for 210.

Finishes with figures of 5/42. The Proteas are bowled out for 210. A slender 13-run lead for the men in blue. Can KL and Mayank get India off to a good start?
