- India win Delhi Test by 337 runs after SA fold for 143

- India win Test series 3-0 with one match washed out

SA 143-all out (143.1 ovs) & 121 vs India 334 & 267-5d | Scorecard


Yadav getting the ball to come in sharply, suing the reverse swing to good effect. And it does not take long for him to break through Kyle Abbott's defences as the leg stump cracks in the middle following the impact of that blow.

Abbott walks back for a duck as South Africa slip further to 140 for eight, in 141 overs.

The match has suddenly seen a lot of action after the tea interval with South Africa losing three wickets in three overs.

India need just two wickets to complete a 3-0 series victory and they have around 20 overs to do so.

Ashwin finishes off the South African innings with the wicket of Morkel, who offers no shot to a delivery which goes straight on and hits the off-stump.

South Africa are bowled out for 143 in 143.1 overs to lose by a huge margin of 337 runs.

India complete a comprehensive 3-0 series victory with the Bangalore Test washed out.

What a stunning turnaround since the tea break, when South Africa looked comfortable on 136 for five before losing their last five wickets for eight runs in the space of 31 deliveries.

Yadav triggered the collapse with a three-wicket burst while Ashwin claimed the key wicket of AB and then cleaned up Morkel to complete a deserved-five wicket haul to finish the series with 31 wickets, while his spin partner Jadeja claimed 23 wickets.
