2nd Test on knife's edge as South Africa chase 240 to thwart India

If the second day was about India's ability to counter punch, Wednesday saw South Africa's resilience and desperation to make a match of it after being set a daunting 240 to level the series. The pitch is difficult to bat on, there's variable bounce, and the Indian pace attack has the wherewithal to run through sides. Add to that the wily Ravichandran Ashwin, who loves bounce in the track.
