IND vs SA 1st Test: Harmer, Jansen shine as South Africa bundle out India for 189

South Africa's bowlers, led by Marco Jansen and Simon Harmer, fought back effectively on day two, dismissing India for 189. Jansen took three wickets while Harmer claimed four, limiting India's first-innings lead to just 30 runs on a challenging Eden Gardens pitch. India's struggles were further hampered by captain Shubman Gill's inability to bat due to a neck spasm.
Pacer Marco Jansen and off-spinner Simon Harmer took seven wickets between them as South Africa fought back to skittle India for 189 in the first innings on the second day of the first Test on Saturday.
Jansen (3/35) and Harmer (4/30) ensured that India's first-innings lead is limited to a mere 30 runs on a spiteful Eden Gardens pitch. India started the day from overnight 37 for 1.
KL Rahul (39) was India's top-scorer while Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja contributed 27 each.
India's struggles were compounded by the skipper Shubman Gill's inability to bat on the second day because of a neck spasm.
He was retired hurt on 4 and never returned to the field.
Brief scores:
South Africa: 159 all out vs India: 189 all out in 62.2 overs (KL Rahul 39; Marco Jansen 3/35, Simon Harmer 4/30). PTI
