India defeated South Africa in the second Test match here in Durban , South Africa by 87 runs on Wednesday and leveled the three-match test series one all.
South Africa started its fourth day innings requiring 303 for a win was bundled out for a total of 215. Indian bowlers did the job by collapsing all wickets of SA (Zaheer Khan took three for 57 runs, S. Sreesanth also took three for 45 runs, Harbhajan Singh with two for 70 and Ishant Sharma with a wicket for 36) were instrumental . A defiant Ashwell Prince who remained unbeaten on 39 had stayed in grease for long time had tested patience of India.
Fourth Day Highlights:
A Sreesanth's super delivery got Jacques Kallis started South Africa's wickets fall. Then the two lbws - one a marginal decision (A. B de Villiers by Harbhajan Singh ) and the other a howler (Mark Boucher by Harbhajan Singh ) had made the survival options go vanish for SA.
Then came Dale Steyn, who was peppered with three short balls before nicking a fuller delivery to slip of Zaheer Khan.
Zaheer then bowled Paul Harris, while Morne Morkel was caught behind of Ishant Sharma for 20. LL Tsotsobe was run out by short leg C. Pujara.
SCORES : India 1st Innings:205 and 2nd innings : 228.
South Africa 1st Innings:131 and 2nd innings : 215.
