India conceded a massive 288-run first innings lead and face a series defeat after they were bowled out for 201 by South Africa on day three of the second Test in Guwahati.<\/b><\/p>\n
Seamer Marco Jansen took 6-48 before the tourists closed on 26-0, 314 runs ahead and now firm favourites to seal a 2-0 series victory.<\/p>\n
Resuming on 9-0, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored with 58 before being caught by Jansen off the bowling of spinner Simon Harmer.<\/p>\n
Jansen, who struck a career-best 93 in South Africa’s first innings, took four consecutive wickets to blow away India’s middle-order, as the home side slipped from 102-3 to 122-7.<\/p>\n
Washington Sundar (48) put on a slow-scoring 72-run partnership with Kuldeep Yadav (19), but his resistance ended when he edged a Harmer delivery and became one of five players caught by Aiden Markram.<\/p>\n
Jansen then took the two remaining wickets of Kuldeep and Jasprit Bumrah to conclude the innings.<\/p>\n
India went 12 years without losing a Test series at home until they were beaten 3-0 by New Zealand last year.<\/p>\n
Though they beat West Indies 2-0 in October, losing this two-match series would mean a second home defeat in little over 12 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
