In a compelling turn of events in the one-off women's Test, Sune Luus's century helped South Africa to 232 for two in their second innings against India. This spirited fightback came after India's spinner Sneh Rana claimed eight wickets to dismiss the visitors for 266 in the first innings.

Luus, with scores of 109 off 203 balls, partnered with skipper Laura Wolvaardt, who remains unbeaten at 93, to lead South Africa's resistance. Despite initial setbacks, the duo's 190-run stand took the team to 124 for one at tea.

Resuming from an overnight score of 236 for four, South African batters Marizanne Kapp and Nadine de Klerk couldn't maintain the momentum. Rana and Deepti Sharma swiftly concluded the innings, enforcing a follow-on. India's dominance still puts them ahead by 105 runs.
