SA 253-6 (84 Ovs) vs India | SCORECARD

We're underway on Day 2. Siraj to complete the 82nd.

Muthusamy flicks off his pads to the leg side for a single.

Bumrah from the other end. Muthusamy meets him on the front foot, solid defence. Next ball pushed to the leg side, no run. Happy to let the next two go through. Maiden over from Bumrah.

Siraj continues. Verreynne in behind the first ball, Pant dives across to collect. Two more solid blocks. And then -- crunch! Verreynne capitalises on the fourth delivery and drives it away for the first boundary of the morning. Next ball worked through covers for a single. Muthusamy plays out the last two with a straight bat.

Five runs off the over. After 84 overs, South Africa are 253 for 6.
