GUWAHATI [Maha Media]: Kuldeep Yadav (3/48) led India’s fightback as South Africa lost four wickets in the final session to slip to 247 for six at stumps on Day One of the second Test here on Saturday.

After Ravindra Jadeja had South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma caught at mid-off by Yashasvi Jaiswal in the final session, Kuldeep snaffled two key wickets in Tristan Stubbs (49) and Wiaan Mulder (13) to peg back the visitors.

At stumps, Senuran Muthusamy was unbeaten on 25 with new batter Kyle Verreynne at the other end as Mohammed Siraj had Tony de Zorzi (28) caught behind.

Earlier, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bat against India in the second Test here.

South Africa lead the two-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Kolkata by 30 runs.

Rishabh Pant replaced Shubman Gill as India’s captain after the latter was ruled out of the contest due to a neck injury which he suffered in the first Test.
