India need a world-record run chase in the final innings of the Guwahati Test
to avoid losing the series to South Africa at home. South Africa set a huge lead
of more than 450 runs after their third innings, showing strong batting again in
the second Test.
South Africa declared at 260 for 5, batting 45 minutes into the final session on
Day 3. They waited for Tristan Stubbs to reach a century, but he got out for 94
after missing a sweep shot against Ravindra Jadeja. India now face a target of
549 runs to win, with only 108 overs left in the match.
