Hello and Welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of Day Three of the second unofficial Test match between India A and South Africa A at Wayanad. South Africa A were bowled out for 260 on Day One with Stiaan Van Zyl top-scoring with 96. Akshar Patel took five wickets for India A before half-centuries from Abhinav Mukund (75), Jiwanjot Singh (52), and Ambati Rayudu (71). India A lead by 82 runs with four wickets in hand at stumps on Day Two. India A are firmly in control at the moment, but if South Africa A can restrict the lead to less than 100 they will feel they have a chance to cover up and turn the match on its head.
