South Africa finished the second day well in command on 366 for two. Sreesanth endured a miserable day, conceding 71 runs from 19 wicketless overs, as well as misfielding twice at fine leg to concede boundaries.

Indian off spinner Harbhajan fought back with five boundaries in his 25-ball 27, after most of the top batsmen perished against the South African quickies. Dhoni hit two fours and a six, but soon gratefully accepted the offer from the umpires to go off for failing light.
