India A ended their first innings on 417 on day two of the second unofficial Test match being played at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, in Mysore. They had resumed their innings from 233/3.

Karun Nair failed to add to his 78 as he fell to Mulder, however, skipper Wriddhiman Saha made 60 and got great support from Shivam Dube (68 with 10 fours and 1 six) and Jalaj Saxena, who made 48*. Even Umesh Yadav made 24 in just 13 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes as India A made 417 runs.

For South Africa A, Wiaan Mulder picked 3/47 and Dane Piedt scalped 3/78; while Philander, Ngidi, and Simpala picked one wicket each.

In reply, Mohammed Siraj removed Pieter Malan for 6 runs, but Markram and Theunis de Bruyn (41) made merry on beauty of batting pitch. But then Indian spinners Shahbaz Nadeem and Kuldeep Yadav bamboozled the Proteas batsmen. Nadeem removed De Bruyn and Zondo; while Kuldeep took care of Muthuswamy and Klaasen. Markram, on 83* and Mulder on 9* ended the day for SA A on 159/5.

Nadeem picked 2/41, while Kuldeep got 2/51 for India A.
