Day 5 of the second Test in Guwahati saw India’s middle and lower order struggle to find rhythm, leaving the team in a fragile state at tea on 90/5. South Africa dominated the morning session, with spinners Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj wreaking havoc.
Harmer was the pick of the bowlers, claiming four crucial wickets, including Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant, and Sai Sudharsan, using sharp turn, bounce, and clever variations to keep the Indian batsmen under constant pressure. Maharaj bowled with control and consistency, troubling the lower order with sharp spin and well-directed deliveries.
Sai Sudharsan showed grit, surviving a painful blow on the glove from Maharaj that required attention from the physio, while he defended resolutely. Ravindra Jadeja tried to stabilize the innings, rotating the strike and using sweeps and nudges to keep the scoreboard moving, though runs were hard to come by. Rishabh Pant briefly entertained with a boundary and a towering six but was dismissed for 13, compounding India’s difficulties.
Earlier, Marco Jansen bowled tight spells, maintaining pressure with maidens, while Temba Bavuma and Markram were alert in the field, with Markram nearly affecting a run-out and dropping a catch. With a first-innings lead exceeding 500, South Africa are firmly in control and look set to push for a series-clinching victory.
