India stormed their way back into the Mohali test in grand style on the second day against South Africa. After resisting the Indian bowlers for an hour, the South African batsmen finally succumbed to the turn and guile of the Indian spinners. R. Ashwin, India’s Mr. Dependable with the ball bagged another five-wicket haul as he ran misery for the visitors. AB De Villiers scored 63, but not before getting two lifelines. India however, managed to take a slender 17 run lead and their batsmen resisted the South African bowlers to a certain extent.

Below, are the twitter reactions for the second day’s play:

A pair for Shikhar Dhawan in this Test! He is caught in the slip cordon once again! Can Pujara find some form? #INDvsSA

both teams will play carefully in second innings so anything less then 300 will be chased down. #INDvsSA

That happened in reverse. Kohli was first beaten fishing outside the off and then was pinged on his shoulder by a bouncer #INDvSA #IndvsSA

Shikhar Dhawan trying to break Ajit Agarkar’s only record. #INDvsSa

Looking at how the pitch is playing now, a lead of at least 350 would be good #IndvsSA

Well played, Vijay. Your dependability, single-mindedness and solidity is an asset any team would be honoured to have. #IndvsSA
