GUWAHATI: India will look to draw inspiration from their resilient draw against England at Manchester this year in their aim to save the ongoing second Test against South Africa, said assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate ahead of day five’s play.

In their chase of 549, India ended day four’s play by losing openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal and are facing a mammoth task to avoid losing their second home Test series in two years.

“That's the blueprint for saving a game. There's going to be a lot of important factors today. I think the mentality is going to be top of that list. We've seen where the threat is from mainly in the first four days, obviously Jansen's bounce and the ball does spin.
