SA vs India 2nd Test, SA win by 135 runs

Faf du Plessis-led South Africa beat India by 135 runs in the second Test to seal the three-match Test series 2-0 at Centurion on Wednesday. South African bowlers yet again ran through the Indian batting order as debutant Lungi Ngidi finished with the figures of six for 39. Earlier, India resumed their innings on 35 for three with Cheteshwar Pujara and Parthiv Patel on strike. But, the Indian batsmen couldn't face the heat of African bowlers as the visitors fell like nine pins. South African bowlers were right on the mark and kept testing the Indian batters. Rohit (47) and Shami (28) stitched together a 53-run partnership before Rohit was dismissed by Rabada. Chasing 287 for a win, India were bundled out for 151 in the second innings.

NINE DOWN: Lungi Ngidi has a five-for. Shami went for a big hoick but easy catch for Morne Morkel at mid-on. India 145/9

OUT! 8 down India. Rohit Sharma misses out on fifty, goes for 47. de Villiers takes a brilliant catch running in from deep fine leg.

Rohit and Shami trying to delay the inevitable. Their stand is now worth 40 off 43 balls.
