Bumrah dismantled the South African middle-order in the first session on Day 2. South Africa started Day 2 at 62/3 in their second innings, still trailing by 36 runs. In the first over of the day, Bumrah dismissed Bedingham. edging to KL Rahul. He then had Verreynne top-edging a pull shot, and Marco Jansen with a reflexive return catch. Jasprit Bumrah got Maharaj’s wicket to seal his five-wicket haul.
However, opener Aiden Markram launched a counter-attack on other bowlers and slammed Mukesh, Prasidh, and Siraj for a spate of boundaries to take South Africa’s lead to over 50 and he inched toward a sensational century on this treacherous pitch.
