#Nagpur : #SAvsIND The second day of the Nagpur Test saw 20 wickets fall as India took control of the match. After dismissing South Africa for 79 in the first innings, India scored 173 in the second to give visitors a target of 310 with more than three days of play left.

If India win the match then this will be their first series win under new captain Virat Kohli. If South Africa lose the series then this will be their first loss in an away Test series in nine years.
