Live Cricket Score, SA vs IND, 2nd Test Day 3: Virat Kohli key as India aim to continue fightback

Hello and Welcome to our Live Coverage of Day 3 of the second Test match between South Africa and India being played at the SuperSport Park in Centurion.

Day 2 summary:

Virat Kohli was at his sublime best as he led India's resistance on the second day of the second Test at the SuperSport Park, Centurion on Sunday.

India reached 183/5 at stumps in Pretoria with Kohli batting on 85 not out, nearing his 21st hundred, and Hardik Pandya at the other end batting on 11.

India trail South Africa by 152 runs having bowled their hosts out for 335 just before lunch on a slow wicket that has bounce, but little lateral movement.

The pair seek to eke out a first innings lead in the knowledge that batting last on a wicket already showing variable bounce will be a challenge.

India have tried to be positive with the bat, but have lost wickets at regular intervals, with the top seven so far failing to provide support for Kohli.

The openers took the score to 28 before losing their first wicket when Lokesh Rahul (10) was caught and bowled by Morne Morkel, misjudging a delivery that held up on the surface.

They lost another wicket on the next ball when new batsman Cheteshwar Pujara took on the arm of Ngidi at mid-on and lost, run out by a direct hit.

Murali Vijay (46) added 79 for the third wicket with his captain before he edged spinner Keshav Maharaj (1-53) to wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock.

Rohit Sharma (10) was trapped leg before wicket by the world's leading Test bowler Kagiso Rabada (1-33), before Ngidi (1-26) delighted the home crowd with his first Test wicket - Parthiv Patel (19) edging to De Kock.

Kohli has played a superb innings in trying to hold the India effort together, scoring at a brisk pace as well with his 85 coming off 130 deliveries.

India had earlier taken the final four South African wickets in their innings for 66 runs in the morning session.
