India A have continued their fightback and successfully chipped away at more than half of South Africa’s first-innings total. They’ve made the most of a batter’s paradise and crossed 300 without much difficulty.

Priyank Panchal and Abhimanyu Easwaran continued from where they left off, adding 142 runs between them from yesterday to today. South Africa enjoyed a brief period of success when they picked up three wickets for 72 runs, but the match is still very much even stevens.

With two days of play left, it remains to be seen how both teams approach the remainder of the game. In all likelihood, this may end up a draw but could there be demons on the surface? Stay tuned.

SA A 509/7d
Ind A 308/4 (Easwaran 103, Panchal 96 – Linde 2/32)
