Simon Harmer to Ravindra Jadeja
BEATEN! Harmer is constantly asking questions to the batters! Slides one into the batter, on a fuller length, at almost 90 kph. It lands and spins across the bat's face as Jadeja is sucked into the defensive shot.

Simon Harmer to Washington Sundar
OUT! OFF THE EDGE AND TAKEN! A sensational take from Aiden Markram as this is his 9th catch of this Test. With this, Markram now has the record of taking the most number of catches in a Test match by any non wicket-keeper. Simply outstanding stuff from him. Simon Harmer gets maiden five-wicket haul in India and breaks the 35-run alliance for the seventh wicket. Harmer lands it on a good length, and gets sharp turn and bounce from the deck. Washington Sundar gets in a bit of a tangle. He is neither on the front foot nor committed on the back foot, and ends up poking tamely at it away from his body. Outside edges and it goes real quick to the right of the first slip fielder. Despite very little time frame to react, Aiden Markram shows excellent reflexes and takes a fine catch to his right. Washington Sundar departs on 16 (44) and India are 130/7. South Africa now need just 3 wickets to execute a clean sweep.

Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja
SIX! FIFTY FOR RAVINDRA JADEJA! The sword is out as he gets to his 28th Test half century, going with six tons. Right into the slot from Maharaj, on the stumps, spinning in. Ravindra Jadeja shimmies down the track and lofts it cleanly over deep mid-wicket for a six. He has been such an asset as an all-rounder for this Indian team.

Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja
Ouch! That must have stung him! Spins sharply into the batter from a length, Ravindra Jadeja is sucked into the shot and pushes at it off the front foot. But the ball lands on one of those footmarks and spins down leg, beating the inside edge. Lobs off the ribcage of the batter and drops to the right of the forward short leg fielder.

Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja
Prodigious turn and bounce! The ball jagged in viciously from outside off. Jadeja rocked back, decided against the shot, and let it pass, but not cleanly. It grazed his ribs on its way through to the keeper, but flying past his right, down leg. The batters crossed twice and it is called byes, but that clearly deflected off the batter. Surely the umpire didn't spot that one.

Simon Harmer to Nitish Kumar Reddy
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Simon Harmer gets his sixth wicket now, and the writing is on the wall for India. Tossed up, full and around off, turns in a bit and sticks to the surface a bit as well. Nitish Kumar Reddy goes down on one knee to play the reverse sweep but goes through the shot way early. The ball spins and lobs up off the gloves, and the keeper, Kyle Verreynne, moves forward to take a dolly. Reddy walks back for a duck and India are 138/8 now. South Africa just 2 wickets away from the win now.

Keshav Maharaj to Ravindra Jadeja
OUT! STUMPED! Keshav Maharaj joins the party finally. He tosses it up, full and around off, turns in sharply. Ravindra Jadeja skips down the track to slog it across the line but gets nowhere near the pitch of the ball. He gets beaten on the flight and misses as it goes behind, where Kyle Verreynne collects it and breaks the stumps. The third umpire is called in and the replay shows that Jadeja is well short of his crease. He departs for a gritty 54 off 87, and India are nine down now. South Africa can see the finishing line now.

Keshav Maharaj to Mohammed Siraj
NOT OUT! Flighted, full and on off, turns away a bi, Mohammed Siraj swings at it but misses. Kyle Verreynne collects it behind the stumps and takes the bails off in a flash. He appeals for it and it has been sent upstairs. The replay shows that Siraj's back foot did go in the air but he gets it down in time.

Keshav Maharaj to Mohammed Siraj
OUT! TAKEN! My word, that is an unbelievable catch from Marco Jansen, and if that does not sum up this series for South Africa, then nothing else can. Keshav Maharaj loops it up, full and on middle, Mohammed Siraj gets his front leg out of the way, and lofts it nicely over the bowler's head. It goes miles in the air, but Jansen from mid on runs backwards and keeps his eyes on the ball. He stretches out his left hand and grabs a stunner tumbling onto the ground. Siraj cannot believe it, nor can Temba Bavuma. All the Proteas players run towards Jansen, and the celebration begins for them. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 408 RUNS AND TAKE THE SERIES 2-0.
