ONI Bureau: There is no respite for Team India in South Africa, as they continue to struggle in the second Test in Centurion after losing the first one in Cape Town. In reply to South Africa’s first innings score of 335, India finished Day 2 at 183/5.

Earlier, South Africa bowled out for 335 in the first innings. Aiden Markram (94), Hashim Amla (82) and Faf du Plessis (63) were the top scorers. For India, Ashwin took 4 wickets, while Ishant Sharma took 3 wickets.
