South Africa vs. India, 2nd Test: Day 5 Scorecard and Report from Durban

South Africa won the second Test against India and took the series with it 1-0 after bowling India out cheaply on Day 5 in Durban and then knocking off a small target to win by 10 wickets.

It was a result their sustained bowling excellence probably justified, but there were elements of controversy to the victory.

Virat Kohli's dismissal, caught behind at Dale Steyn's hands, appeared to have missed bat or glove. Meanwhile, Robin Peterson's ball to trap Zaheer Khan lbw was shown by HawkEye to be going down the leg side.

However, it is the Board of Control for Cricket in India's choice not to use DRS technology, which would most likely have reprieved both batsmen. Therefore, they cannot have much room for complaint.

Steyn, Vernon Philander and Peterson were irrepressible, applying the pressure from the first ball of the morning (Steyn's dismissal of Kohli) and not relinquishing it until the tourists were all out for 223.

One man stood tall against the onslaught—Ajinkya Rahane's knock of 96 was deeply impressive, batting patiently as wickets fell around him, then charging on as the tail fell away. His disappointment was visible as he was bowled chasing a century against Philander for the final wicket, but it was an innings which appears to have assured him of more opportunities in the India lineup.

Steyn passed a landmark with his removal of Ishant Sharma, which marks his 350th Test wicket. Only Muttiah Muralitharan has reached that number faster.

It meant that South Africa needed 58 runs for victory with just over a session remaining.

There was no sentimental promotion up the order for Jacques Kallis on his final Test match, leaving Graeme Smith and Alviro Petersen to grab the runs.
