Ganguly helps India take lead

The second day of the third and deciding Test match between India and South Africa at the Green Park stadium on Saturday was tepid to say the least.

But what mattered eventually was the fact that the home team got the lead, albeit just. Replying to the South African first innings total of 265, India ended the day on 288 for nine.

Sourav Ganguly played his second consecutive knock of 87 as his efforts gave India a lead of 23 runs with one wicket to go, leaving the Kanpur Test very keenly poised.
