OUTTTT!!!! India have another wicket, just after Tea break. Kuldeep Yadav flights the delivery, Ryan Rickelton leans forward to drive and gets a thick edge to Rishabh Pant behind the wickets. Two wickets in four balls for the home team. Rickelton goes back for 35. SA 87/2

OUTTTTT!!!!! Brought in for just the last over before Tea break, Jasprit Bumrah does it again for India. It was a perfect yorker from Bumrah, as the ball takes an inside edge of Aiden Markram's bat to shatter the stumps before Tea break. The whole crowd erupts in joy. SA 82/1

Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton have started on a steady note in Guwahati. Baring the dropped chance of Markram, the South African openers had it easy against the Indian attack. SA 48/0

Here comes the first boundary of the day from Aiden Markram, who opens his account after 17 balls. DROPPEDD!!! KL Rahul puts down Markram at the second slip.

Wayward bowling from India to start with. Eight runs out of first 10 have come from extras by Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton are opening the batting for the Proteas. SA 10/0

Red carpet for the players and match officials. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia leads the whole bunch. Time for National Anthems. South Africa to go first, followed by India. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant becomes the second Indian wicketkeeper to lead India in Tests after MS Dhoni from 2008 to 2014.

Rishabh Pant and Temba Bavuma walk down for the toss. South Africa win the toss and opt to bat first. Pant becomes India's 38th Test captain. for South Africa Sethuram Muthusamy comes in for Corbin Bosch. Two changes for India - Shubman Gill and Axar Patel make way for Sai Sudharsan and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

"I think that the toss doesn't become too big a factor compared to what probably Kolkata was like. But in saying that, you know what, you want to win the toss, you know the advantage of batting on Day 1, Day 2, so I think that still becomes an advantage, but not such a deciding factor," said Temba Bavuma.

The win in Kolkata was Temba Bavuma's 10th as a Test captain in 11 matches, the fastest in world cricket. The only time Bavuma drew was against West Indies at Port-of-Spain last year.

There are three options to replace Shubman Gill. If India are looking at the no.4 slot, either Sai Sudharsan or Devdutt Padikkal may come in. But if India wish to bat deep, Nitish Kumar Reddy might get a game.

India will be missing the services of Shubman Gill. The Indian captain suffered a neck spasm in the first Test, has been ruled out of the series. Rishabh Pant is leading in Gill's absence. It's a huge blow for India as Gill has been in brilliant form in Tests in the last few months.

This is a special Test match. Firstly, Guwahati is hosting it's first-ever men's Test match. Secondly, Rishabh Pant is making his captaincy debut at thie venue. For the unknown, Pant made his ODI debut at this venue in 2018.

Although Indian bowlers dominated in Kolkata, the batters fell without a fight in front of Simon Harmer. To add to that, the unavailability of Shubman Gill in both the innings made a difference as India lost the Test by 30 runs.
