A nervous Marco Jansen failed to keep his tryst with a maiden Test century on Sunday. He therefore took his angst out on India with the ball on Monday, producing a terrific burst of short-pitched bowling to put South Africa well in command of the second Test at the ACA Stadium.

Overnight nine without loss in response to the visitors’ monumental 489, India chose novel means to capitulate, skipper Rishabh Pant leading the way through the most irresponsible stroke. Consequently, they were shot out for 201 to concede a massive lead of 288, which South Africa extended to 314 by coasting to 26 without loss at stumps.
