South Africa extended their first innings to 316 for six wickets through persistent batting from Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne, who compiled an unbroken 70-run stand that denied India any breakthrough during the afternoon session of the second Test at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Muthusamy remained not out 56 while Verreynne contributed 38 as the partnership consumed 29.1 overs.
The all-rounder survived a leg-before appeal when technology detected a faint edge off his glove during a sweep attempt against Ravindra Jadeja, allowing him to reach his third Test half-century. His measured approach contrasted sharply with earlier teammates who perished attempting aggressive strokes.
India's bowling attack, spearheaded by Kuldeep Yadav with three wickets and Jasprit Bumrah with one dismissal, failed to penetrate the seventh-wicket alliance as South Africa consolidated their position in the match.
