Centurion [South Africa], Jan 14 (ANI): The South African team were bowled out for 335 in their first innings on Day 2 of the second Test at the SuperSport Park here on Sunday.
Resuming their innings at 269 for six wickets, the home team was bowled out just before lunch, with Ravichandran Ashwin claiming four wickets for 113 runs.
Faf du Plessis (63) spearheaded the South African attack today, helping his team cross the 300 mark.

Earlier on Saturday, the Proteas got off to a decent start with openers Dean Elgar (31) and Aiden Markram (94) tackling the Indian bowlers well.
Markram, who was dismissed six runs shy of his third century, became the second-fastest South African to score 500 runs after five test matches.

Following Markram's wicket, A.B. de Villiers (20) chipped in and along with Amla took the team to 199 until the swashbuckling batsman was clean bowled by Ishant Sharma.
However, with Ravichandran Ashwin dismissing Quinton de Kock for a duck and Hardik Pandya chipping in with his top-hole fielding skills, the home team lost three quick wickets for just 23 runs.
The Indian team had begun their innings, at the time of filing this report.
