- First day: South Africa 55 & 62-3; India 153
- India lose final six wickets without scoring
South Africa closed an extraordinary see-saw first day of the second and final Test against India at Newlands on 62 for three in their second innings, trailing the tourists by 36 runs after 23 wickets and several records fell on Wednesday.
Seamer Mohammed Siraj took a career-best six for 15 as the visitors skittled out their hosts for 55 in the first innings after the latter elected to bat on a wicket offering plenty of assistance to the bowlers.
