It was another tough and frustrating day for India on Day 3 of the second Test against South Africa in Guwahati. India were bowled out for just 201 runs, giving the visitors a huge 288-run first-innings lead. South Africa then finished the day at 26/0, stretching their overall lead to 314 runs and putting India in a difficult position with two days still left. The difference-maker in the match once again was Marco Jansen with a brilliant spell of fast bowling. Having scored 93 runs in the first innings, the tall left-arm pacer returned to wreak havoc on India's batting with figures of 6/48, not allowing any Indian batter to settle. Siraj Shows Frustration; Rahul Calms Him Down Things did not go India's way even when they came out to bowl again. During Kuldeep Yadav’s over, Mohammed Siraj threw the ball wildly toward the wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant failed to stop the ball, and it ran past him before KL Rahul, standing in the slips, collected it. An unhappy Rahul gestured at the unnecessary throw and asked Siraj to relax. The pacer smiled back, and the moment eased the tension on the field for a bit. But the frustration in the Indian camp was clear, as they struggled to find a breakthrough.

At the end of day's play, he said that the pitch was good enough for batters who were willing to stay patient. Sundar said: "It wasn't a snake pit or whatever you may call it. It's a very good wicket. It's a true wicket. Not many days you'll get to bat on such tracks, especially in India. Honestly, it's a true wicket. If you spend time there, runs are for the taking. You can't really contain runs for a very long period of time. I think it was just a good wicket." Washington also dismissed talk about the uneven bounce, saying that the Indian batters could have played Jansen's deliveries better on another day. Now with South Africa far ahead, India face the big task of saving the Test match and not losing the home series.
