Here is your professionally rewritten news article in a&nbsp;Left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen produced a brilliant spell, taking 6-48, as South Africa bowled India out for 201 in 83.5 overs to secure a commanding 288-run lead on day three of the second Test at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Jansen&rsquo;s sustained short-ball strategy and accuracy dismantled India&rsquo;s middle order, triggering a collapse that left the hosts reeling at 122/7.&nbsp;
India found brief resistance through a defiant 72-run partnership between Washington Sundar (48 off 92 balls) and Kuldeep Yadav (19 off 134 balls), but the stand was broken when Simon Harmer dismissed Sundar shortly before the second new ball.
Once the new ball was taken, Jansen returned to complete the innings, wrapping up one of the most impactful all-round performances by a visiting player in India. 
Earlier in the match, he had scored 93 runs, and his six-wicket haul made him only the third left-arm fast bowler, after Zaheer Khan and Mitchell Johnson, to claim a five-wicket haul in India.
South Africa, despite holding a massive advantage, chose not to enforce the follow-on. 
Captain Temba Bavuma, after consulting team management, opted to bat again and requested the light roller before the start of their second innings.
During the final session, Sundar and Kuldeep showed patience against spinners Harmer and Aiden Markram, adding crucial runs. 
South Africa introduced Senuran Muthusamy, who had scored a century in the first innings, but could not break the partnership. 
Harmer eventually produced the breakthrough with a dipping delivery that Sundar edged to slip.
Jansen then picked up his fifth wicket in the first over with the second new ball, dismissing Kuldeep with steep bounce. 
India&rsquo;s innings ended when Jasprit Bumrah gloved a sharp bouncer from Jansen to the wicketkeeper, sealing the bowler&rsquo;s six-wicket haul.
Brief Scores:
South Africa 489 in 151.1 overs (Senuran Muthusamy 109; Kuldeep Yadav 4-115).
India 201 in 83.5 overs (Yashasvi Jaiswal 58, Washington Sundar 48; Marco Jansen 6-48, Simon Harmer 3-64)
South Africa lead by 288 runs.
