Markram is looking good and aggressive as he has been able to hit 8 fours. He has already got his 50 and with Jansen with him, South Africa has now gained a lead of 5 runs. Just saw Jansen getting out by Bhumrah, he has been bowling very well and has already got 4 wickets another one he will get his fifer. I do not think that another wicket by Bhumrah would take time. This game is getting more and more interesting. Sometimes I feel that it is a T20 game that has been continuing for 2 days.

South Africa did not start the second day well. If the batsmen played with some responsibility, the team might have been able to collect big. But even though they started the day on 62 runs, Bedingham lost his wicket on 66 runs. And by 85 runs they lost the wicket of Verreyenne. But Marakram is still at the crease. There are no experienced batsmen to help Marakram. Marakram scored 52 runs unbeaten. And South Africa collected 97 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.

Mohammad Siraj bowled brilliantly in the first innings. He picked up 6 important wickets. But in the second innings, Siraj could not take a single wicket. Bumrah took 3 wickets and Mukesh Kumar 2 wickets.

South Africa lose their seventh wicket for 111 runs. Even though Marakram is performing well, none of the batsmen are able to help him. Had the batsmen batted responsibly, South Africa would have been able to muster around 200.

South Africa scored 128 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Marakram remains unbeaten with 73 runs from 83 balls. And now Marakram is batting a bit aggressively. And that's what he should do now. Because even though Marakram is playing well, none of his fellow batsmen are helping him.

I don't know why India's captain is not using Mohammed Siraj properly in the second innings. Bumrah has bowled 11 overs and Mukesh kumar has bowled 10 overs, on the other hand Siraj who bowled brilliantly in the first innings has bowled only 6 overs so far in the second innings.

The way Markram is batting he might get his century in the second innings. He is only short of 16 runs and is facing all the balls he can because Rabada is in the non striker end. Shiraj is not looking good as he was yesterday while bowling in the first innings. I am suprised to see Rohit opting for Bhumrah and Mukesh. He has only bowled 6 overs, Krishna does it again he gave 20 runs in his first spell. South Africa now has a lead of 52 runs and anything above 100 won't be easy for India to chase.

Day 2 Stumps Australia current scored 116 runa in loss of 2 wickets in 47 overs and play stoped dueto Rain. In first inning Pakistan set a good total  313 all out. Pakistan bowling performance is not good in this match only 2 wickets picked  1,1 Wicket By Aamir Jamal amd Salman ali agha. David Warner is out by scoring 34 runs, playing his last test match and Usman khawaja scored 47 runs. Australia Trail By 197 Runs if panistan bowlers didn't picked early wickets in start of day 3 then Australia will looking to give a big lead to Pakistan. Australia is favourite to win this match and whitewash Pakistan by beating in 3rd test match 3-0.

In today's day, nothing special thing happened in today's match between Pakistan and Australia. Just two players out whose names are David Warner and Usman Khawaja but maybe it is the last innings of David Warner because if Pakistan loses the match in their second innings so he can't get a chance to bat again,

maybe this a location in Sydney where David Warner era will finish, and in his may be last match Salman Agha took the wicket of him and after this wicket, David Warner had too much aggression but the original decision was out so he needed to accept this even if he has not wanted to be.

Opener Marakram returned to the dressing room with 106 runs from 103 balls. Mohammad Siraj also took this important wicket. After losing the wicket of Marakram, South Africa also lost the wicket of Rabada. And the South African team managed to collect 169 runs by losing 9 wickets. South Africa managed to take a lead of only 71 runs. They probably will not be able to provide the target of 80 runs. Although the target was 100+, South Africa had a chance to fight and win. Because the pitch is completely bowling-friendly. But I don't see a chance to fight in this match by giving the target so few runs. Although the South African team won the first test match by a big margin, we saw the dominance of the Indian players in the second match.

He batted well considering all other batters were not able to bat today. So Bhumrah today got 6 wickets while Shiraj got the wicket of Markran who was becoming a headache for the Indian captain. A lead of 78 runs can be chased without any issue if Indian batters play well. In the first innings, Rohit batted well but Jaiswal is struggling to stay afoot. Kohli has been consistent but Gill has not been in his form after the dengue he caught while playing in the World Cup. This is an easy game for India to win and level the series.

Yesterday Siraj, today Bumrah, Mukesh helped team with early breakthrough in second inning. Prasidh helped Markram make century  , Rohit didn't have him bowl since long, if he had no confidence in him, should have let him sit on bench.

India needs 79 runs to win, should be doable but you never know.

I hate to admit but Prasidh's stocks went down drastically during this series and I am afraid he has to start all over again, maybe some remote opportunity in tests will come if someone is injured or unavailable, even in this scenario management might think twice.

It would be tough but India should cross the line unless another 36 all out type of collapse is on the card.

In the second Test match of India vs South Africa, South Africa batted very badly in the first innings. The South African batsmen were all out for just 55 runs in the first innings. With a lead of 55 runs, the Indian team went into bat and lost wickets and was under some pressure. Rohit Sharma and Gill's responsible batting led the Indian team to some progress. In the second innings South African opener Markram batted brilliantly if any other batsman could have scored good runs with him then South Africa could have given India a big target. India needed just 16 runs to win the second Test.

Paksitani team has done spectacular performance compared to thier previous two matches where they got defeated by Australian team. No doubt just like previous matches thier top order failed to give a decent start to his team despite they give chance to some new guys still they unable to set a stage with a significant partnership where rest of the player will carry on thier momentum later after his dismissal. Anyway paksitan set a decent target and now it's upto bowler if they get some early on quick important wickets then definitely they will get them before the required 300 around target, but the way Paksitani batter done I am sure Australian will create trouble for them too. All my best wishes for paksitan to atleast safe his team from series whitewash

Pakistani International test cricket team is not like team that deserve support because in Pakistani team 60 percent batters are in cricket team due to only references. There are many test players of Pakistan that are performing very well in domestic level but they have no references and they are out from team .Fawad Alam is one from which . Fawad Alam performance is excellent but Pakistan cricket board is not impressed by Fawad Alam because he has no reference.If Pakistani wants to change results then they should work on their input. Decision will change the future of Pakistani International test cricket team. Sarfraz Ahmad should be the part of Pakistani International test cricket team.

The match of India vs South Africa was almost win by India because the Indian team needed 4 runs to win and they just had a loss of 3 wickets but in the previous innings they also had the loss of 3 wickets and they made 153 runs but South African did bowling extremely well and they all out them on 153 runs so maybe their ballers again do this and if they did it so this match is unbelievable because some time India win and sometimes South African team had lead so now, lets see which team will win this match.
I do believe it will be India the winner in the end.

[libert19]

India wins the shortest test match in history (taking commentators word for it) with 7 wickets in hand and concludes the series with a draw. Good quick innings from Jaiswal, played to his nature, definitely helped a lot and put 36 all-out out of cards by time he got out.

Series should be at least 3 matches, so winner can be decided.

I wouldn't expect surreal fall like yesterday again, at least with batters coming on crease, in that inning except Jadeja all were bowlers.

David Warner was out and maybe it will be the last innings of him. He was out by Salman Agha and he took the ball inside spin and where David Warner backed his back foot and he did front to his foot but when the ball came near so he suddenly moved his front to back and due to this footwork he lost his wicket from Salman Agha, and when he touched a ball it edged and it went at the slip and Babar Azam was present at the slip, and he pick the catch so the end of David Warner.

Sad to see him go this way as he only was able to make 34 runs. He was looking set as he played almost 68 balls for these runs and he could have completed his half century.

On the second day, South Africa lost the Test match against India, and the Indian team won by 7 wickets. In today's match, South Africa batted in the first innings at their own ground but could not score too many runs and could not give India a huge lead. Today, if the South African batsmen could have made good runs, it might not have been possible to win the match, but it was not possible. India's batsman Siraj took 6 wickets alone when South Africa batted in the first innings, and today Bumrah took 6 wickets in the second innings against South Africa which was truly remarkable. However, the lead given by South Africa was very small due to which Barro's team easily won the match with India playing brilliantly in the second innings. The Indian team's performance was outstanding due to which they defeated South Africa in the second Test match as well.

Yes, India won the second Test by seven wickets against South Africa.India made a good comeback after losing to South Africa in the first Test match. Md Siraj's sole credit for winning this Test match today as he played an outstanding role in bowling out South Africa for 55 runs in the first innings. South Africa scored 176 runs in their second innings, leaving India with a target of just 80 runs, which India collected by 3 wicket and won the match.
Md Siraj was the player of the match for this test match and player of the series are Jasprit Bumrah and Dean Elgar.

[Patrol69]

The first test match was a normal test match where South Africa beat India but the second test match was not a normal match for me.  Looking at the behavior of the wicket, it seems that the batsmen have gone down the wicket without the bat. The reason India has been criticized the most is the fall of 6 wickets at the end for nil. Fans were disappointed and detractors were happy with India's performance but in the end the fans won as India won the last match. The margin of victory in the second match was much larger as India secured a seven-wicket victory over South Africa. After losing the first test match, India had to make a comeback in the second test match and India managed to make a comeback.

India actually defeated the proteas in Cape Town which is a pretty big achievement. They couldn't win the series, but they drew it implying that both teams ended up sharing the cup at the end.

Dean Elgar has retired from tests in style and Siraj is the man of the match. Crazy test series overall!

The fast bowlers have completely dominated this Test series.In the first test match too we saw the fast bowlers of both the teams taking the most wickets.Similarly, in the second test match, the fast bowlers of both the teams took the most wickets.However, in the second Test, India's fast bowlers bowled the best, especially Muhammad Siraj, who was brilliant. However, South Africa's fast bowlers also bowled well. Md. Siraj gave a very good performance as a result he got the man of the match award.

[Bitcoin Smith]

I don't know why India's captain is not using Mohammed Siraj properly in the second innings. Bumrah has bowled 11 overs and Mukesh kumar has bowled 10 overs, on the other hand Siraj who bowled brilliantly in the first innings has bowled only 6 overs so far in the second innings.

That is called workload management, if a captain wants their player free from injuries then it is his responsibility to give necessary breaks and generally 4 over spells is what a pacer would prefer but yesterday Siraj bowled 10 overs straight which itself made him injury prone so over stressing will end in a severe injury.

Mohammed Siraj 1st innings 6 wickets
Jusprit Bumrah Second innings 6 wickets.

This Test basically ended in a short range only on the second day with a total of four innings. On the one hand, it can also be called a Test of falling wickets. However, in the end India won by 7 wickets and the Test series is evenly matched between the two teams. I have never seen such a short range Test match in my life.
