Persistent rain washes out day two at Centurion

India 272 for 3 (Rahul 122*, Agarwal 60, Ngidi 3-45) vs South Africa.

Centurion: Second day of the first Test between India and South Africa got abandoned due to persistent rain at the SuperSport Park, Centurion on Monday.

The start of play was delayed due to continuous rain and day two had to be called off eventually without being a ball bowled.

"Unfortunately, due to the large volume of rain today at Centurion, play has been called off for the day," tweeted BCCI.

Virat Kohli's side had dominated Day 1 of the ongoing first Test against the Proteas here at the SuperSport Park with the visitors' score reading 272/3 at stumps.

KL Rahul (122*) and Ajinkya Rahane (40*) are unbeaten at the crease and India would be hoping for a strong show from the batters on Day 2.

Mayank Agarwal scored 60 runs and shared an opening stand of 117 runs with KL Rahul. Skipper Kohli was also looking good at the crease but he gave away his wicket to Lungi Ngidi after playing a 35-run knock.
