India are on the diver's seat in the ongoing Pune Test and are looking all seat to win the match and seal the series 2-0. Earlier in the day, South Africa came to bat against after receiving a follow-on. The visitors again got off to a poor start and lost early wickets. Opener Aiden Markram bagged a duck and De Bruyn was to follow. South Africa still have to score 365 runs in order to go past India's first innings tally of 601 runs. So, India's 11th successive Test series victory at home just seems a matter of time.
