India vs South Africa Live Score: India's left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja grabbed four wickets as he demolished the South African top and middle-order to leave the visitors reeling at 93/7 in their second innings at stumps on day two of the first Test in Kolkata on Saturday. South Africa are leading by just 63 runs.
Jadeja (4/29) took the wickets of opener Aiden Markram (4), Wiaan Mulder (11), Tony de Zorzi (2) and Tristan Stubbs (5) as he brought India to the doorsteps of victory after the hosts were dismissed for 189 in 62.2 overs in their first innings.
Earlier, pacer Marco Jansen and off-spinner Simon Harmer took seven wickets between them as South Africa skittled India for 189 in the first innings.
Jansen (3/35) and Harmer (4/30) ensured that India's first-innings lead was limited to a mere 30 runs on a spiteful Eden Gardens pitch. KL Rahul (39) was India's top-scorer while Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja contributed 27 each.

India vs South Africa Live Score: Kuldeep Yadav gets Marco Jansen
OUTTT!!! Looks like this Test match is likely to get over by Sunday. Marco Jansen is the latest South Africa batter to be dismissed. The angle from Kuldeep Yadav has worked as Jansen gets a thick edge only for KL Rahul to dive to his left and take the catch. SA 91/7

India vs South Africa Live Score: Ravindra Jadeja is on a roll
Ravindra Jadeja is on a roll at the moment. After Wiaan Mulder was undone by extra bounce, new man Ton de Zorzi lasts only a couple of balls as India trike twice in an over. Earlier, South Africa have lost Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton to Kuldeep Yadav and Jadeja. SA 40/4
India vs South Africa Live Score: India take 30-run lead
India were all out for 189, this taking a 30-run lead in the first innings. Captain Shubman Gill didn't come out to bat after retiring hurt.
India vs South Africa Live Score: Shubman Gill doubtful
Concerning news for all Indian fans. "Shubman Gill has a neck spasm and is being monitored by the BCCI medical team. A decision on his participation today will be taken as per his progress," said BCCI.
India vs South Africa Live Score: Shubman Gill walks back retired hurt
Shubman Gill is walking back retired hurt. The Indian captain seems to have hurt his neck immediately after sweeping Simon Harmer for a boundary. The physio comes running onto the field. Gill's neck is stiff and the skipper walks back without moving his head. Rishabh Pant joins KL Rahul in the middle. In the previous over, Washington Sundar 82-ball stay comes to an end. IND 79/2
India vs South Africa Live Score: No problem for Rahul, Sundar so far
So far no problem for KL Rahul and Washington Sundar in the middle. Marco Jansen has been varying his length from one end while Keshav Maharaj is bowling from the other. The first hour of play is very crucial for the Indians. IND 46/1
India vs South Africa Live Score: Crucial morning for Rahul, Sundar
The pitch isn't easy as it looks to score runs. There is some reverse swing on offer for the fast bowlers and KL Rahul and Washington Sundar will have to play tactfully against the likes of Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch and others. If the Indian batters survive the first hour, it will be easy for the home side.
India vs South Africa Live Score: India dominate in Kolkata
India have dominated this Test so far. After Jasprit Bumrah made the ball talk with five wickets, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar negated the late South African attack to remain unbeaten at the end of Day 1.
