Following Mohammed Siraj: Following Mohammed Siraj’s demolishing act of South Africa with a fiery spell of 6-15, India entered into the first-inning lead, despite losing their top-order in the second Test at Newlands Cricket Ground on Wednesday.

At tea, India are at 111/4 in 24 overs, taking a lead of 56 runs, after bowling out South Africa for just 55. It was a session of two halves as India took the lead in less than ten overs, before left-arm pacer Nandre Burger struck with three scalps to be a bright spot for South Africa.

Rohit Sharma set the tone by striking an off-colour Lungi Ngidi for three boundaries, as the pacer conceded 13 runs in his opening over. But Yashasvi Jaiswal fell without scoring, chopping on to his stumps off Kagiso Rabada for a seven-ball duck.
