IND 37/1 at Stumps (Trail By 122 Runs) | India vs South Africa Live Score Updates of 1st Test 2025 Day 1: Bowlers Dominate Opening Day, India in Control

STUMPS! An entertaining day for the bowlers has come to an end with India having the edge in the IND vs SA 1st Test 2025. It was a day that the bowlers absolutely owned, with 11 wickets going down and just 196 runs being scored in three sessions. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma had won the toss and opted to bat first and his team complemented that decision, with a 57-run opening partnership between Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram. But things started to go downhill since then. Jasprit Bumrah produced two sensational deliveries to dismiss both Ryan Rickelton and Aiden Markram in quick time before Temba Bavuma was sent back in the first session. South Africa lost five wickets in the second session and Jasprit Bumrah completed his 16th five-wicket haul in Tests (5/27). Skittled out for just 159, South Africa kept things quiet for India up front with Marco Jansen dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal for just 12, but KL Rahul and Washington Sundar put together 19 runs before the umpires decided to call off play due to bad light. India still trail South Africa by 122 runs and it will be interesting to see which way the game goes after India's dominance in the opening day in Kolkata.

Washington Sundar is out in the middle, walking out to bat at number three and he will look to form a partnership with KL Rahul. The left-hander was earlier slated to bat in this position as per the team sheet and India would need him to make an impact with the willow. 

OUT! Marco Jansen has struck and he has dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal! The ball was too close to cut and all what Yashasvi Jaiswal could do was inside-edge it onto his stumps. South Africa get the early wicket they need. Yashasvi Jaiswal b Marco Jansen 12(27)

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul have gotten off to a steady start in India's first innings. The South African pacers have so far managed to trouble both of India's batters so far but so far, no damage has been done from India's point of view. 

India's first innings has started and Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul have started the proceedings. Marco Jansen has started with the new ball and bowled a pretty decent first over, conceding no runs. 

Maharaj lbw b Bumrah 0(3)Jasprit Bumrah has picked up a five-wicket haul as India bowl out South Africa for 159! The pacer bowled a yorker and the ball hit Keshav Maharaj's boot. The umpire raised his finger and South Africa's innings has ended here. India would be pumped up with this performance, especially after South Africa were 159 all out at one stage. Keshav Maharaj lbw b Jasprit Bumrah 0(3)

OUT! Jasprit Bumrah has struck again and he has picked up the wicket of Simon Harmer! The right-hander has been castled and South Africa are nine down now, with just 159 runs on the board. The ball kept low and it resulted in the wicket. Simon Harmer b Jasprit Bumrah 5(5)

The third session of Day 1 is underway and South Africa have played out a maiden against Jasprit Bumrah. South Africa would need Tristan Stubbs to stay as long as it is possible at the crease and he and Simon Harmer would look to put up a partnership here. 

OUT! Axar Patel has picked up the wicket of Corbin Bosch, trapping the right-hander in front. The umpire took his time to raise his finger and South Africa are eight down now. Tea has been taken and India are right on top. Corbin Bosch lbw b Axar Patel 3(23)

Tristan Stubbs is the key here for South Africa with the Proteas having lost seven wickets in this innings. He will look to form a partnership with Corbin Bosch and take South Africa close to the 250-run mark while India would hope to take a couple of more wickets here.
