SA 185-all out (89.5 ovs); Target: 310 | Scorecard

Harmer and Morkel have a slight misunderstanding nearly resulting in a run out before the former is sent back in time.

Harmer plays a nice drive through the covers off Ashwin where Vijay makes a good stop on the edge of the circle to save a certain boundary. In the next over, Harmer nudges Ashwin fine on the leg side for two runs before he tucks the next ball to fine leg for a single.

A low full toss is driven straight down the ground past mid-on for a boundary to get Morkel off the mark.

Ashwin ends the match as he bowls Morkel with the quicker one for four.

South Africa are bowled out for 185 in their second innings to lose the match by 124 runs.

India win the Test match and also clinch the four-match series 2-0 with one more match left in the series.

Ashwin finishes with seven for 66 in 29.5 overs, the best figures by an Indian bowler against South Africa. He took five-wicket hauls in both the innings to finish with 12 wickets in the match to help the hosts wrap up the match inside three days.
