Cricket: Order of play adapted for second Test between South Africa and India

# Cricket: The order of play had been changed for the second Test between South Africa and India because of early sunsets in Guwahati. It gets dark in the far north-eastern city from about four in the afternoon. Play will start at nine in the morning local time – 5.30 am in South Africa – half-an hour earlier than usual, and teatime will be taken before lunch. The 20-minute teatime will be taken after two hours, and lunch two hours thereafter. The first Test starts in Kolkata on Friday.
