Chennai, Jun 30 (PTI) Sune Luus’ hundred helped South Africa fight back in their second innings while following on, reaching 232 for two, but India remained firmly on course for a win after the third day of the one-off women’s Test here on Sunday.
Luus (109, 203b, 18×4) and skipper Laura Wolvaardt (93 batting, 252b, 12×4) led their resistance in the second essay.

It was the third best bowling figure in an innings in women’s Test behind India’s Neetu David (8/53) and Australia’s Ashliegh Gardner (8/66).
Brief scores: India: 603/6 declared vs South Africa: 266 all out in 84.3 overs (Marizanne Kapp 74, Sune Luus 65; Sneh Rana 8/55) and 2nd Innings (following-on): 232/2 in 85 overs (Sune Luus 109, Laura Wolvaardt 93 batting).
