No team has lost a Test in India after scoring as many as South Africa's 489

India 9 for 0 (Jaiswal 7*, Rahul 2*) trail South Africa 489 (Muthusamy 109, Jansen 93, Kuldeep 4-115) by 480 runs
A maiden hundred for Senuran Muthusamy and a career-best 93 from Marco Jansen went a long way to take South Africa close to batting India out of the Guwahati Test and the two-match series. No team has lost a Test in India after scoring as many as South Africa's 489. If South Africa can keep that record intact, they will have pushed India to a second home-series loss in 12 months after they went 12 years without any.
At the start of the second day, 489 looked like a million miles away. And while Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne steadied the ship from the overnight 247 for 6, if South Africa had continued at that scoring rate, they would have barely crossed 400 in the 151.1 overs that they batted.

Bangladesh 476 (Litton 128, Mushfiqur 106) and 297 for 4 dec (Mominul 87, Shadman 78) beat Ireland 265 (Tucker 75*, Taijul 4-76) and 291 (Campher 71*, Tector 50, Murad 4-44, Taijul 4-104) by 217 runs
Hasan Murad broke through Ireland's resistance on the fifth day in an improbable chase of 509 to complete Bangladesh's 217-run win in the second Test in Dhaka. Curtis Campher remained unbeaten on 71 from 259 balls for an effort that lasted more than six hours. Gavin Hoey and Campher survived for more than 31 overs, before Murad removed both Hoey and No. 11 Matthew Humphreys in consecutive balls to complete Bangladesh's 2-0 win.
Murad and Taijul Islam finished with four wickets each, but Mushfiqur Rahim's century in his 100th Test was the highlight of the match. Taijul also completed 250 Test wickets, becoming the sixth left-arm spinner to reach the mark. He had earlier gone past Shakib Al Hasan's 246 wickets to become Bangladesh's highest wicket-taker.

Pakistan 131 for 3 (Farhan 80*, Chameera 2-29, Shanaka 1-14) beat Sri Lanka 128 for 7 (Liyanage 41*, Nawaz 3-16, Mirza 1-26) by seven wickets
Pakistan's attack squeezed Sri Lanka's batters: their seamers bossed the powerplay, before Mohammad Nawaz claimed three wickets through the middle. Sri Lanka could muster no more than 128 for 7, and Pakistan strode to the target in 15.3 overs, with seven wickets to spare.
Sahibzada Farhan led the chase from the top of the order, with 80 not out off 45 balls. His knock, in fact, was the only real fluent innings in this game. Janith Liyanage - the next-best scorer with 41 not out - struck at only 108. On the other hand, Farhan hit five sixes and five fours in the innings. His most productive partnership was with Babar Azam - the two put on 69 together.
