Live Cricket Score: India vs South Africa, 2nd Test, Day 2, Centurion

First slip, leg slip, silly point, short mid-on, short mid-off, all on high alert. India couldn't have felt more at home here in South Africa and Ravichandran Ashwin couldn't have felt more useful.

South African opener Aiden Markram said they were surprised by the nature of the pitch here after R Ashwin took 3/90 to restrict them to 269 for 6 at stumps.

From 78 for no loss at lunch to 140-1 at tea, South Africa would collapse to 269-6. Given that the hosts have walked in with only five batsmen, that's quite a handful for Kohli's team going into Day Two.
