South Africa v India, 2nd Test, Durban
Durban Test, day four: India beat South Africa to level series; IND-SAF:1-1(3)
Dec 29, 2010
South Africa who started the day needing 303 to seal a series victory were all out for 215 in 72.3 overs about an hour after the lunch break to record only their second Test triumph on South African soil.
S Sreesanth (3-45), Zaheer Khan (3-53) and Harbhajan Singh (2-70) were the pick of the bowlers for India while Ashwell Prince was the top scorer for the South Africans with an unbeaten 39. The 123-run victory in the first Test at Johannesburg in 2006 was their first Test victory on South African soil.
The two teams will now travel to Cape Town for the third and final Test starting on Sunday.
India 205 (Steyn 6-50) and 228 (Laxman 96) beat South Africa 131 (Harbhajan 4-10) and 215 (Sreesanth 3-35, Zaheer 3-57) by 87 runs
Durban Test, day three: India set South Africa tough target
Dec 28, 2010
The low scoring second cricket Test is tantalisingly poised with South Africa needing 192 more runs to win when play start on day four in Durban. India resumed their second innings on 92-4 and VVS Laxman made a magnificent 96 as they reached 228 all out. Chasing 303 for victory, South Africa were 111-3 when bad light stopped play early, with Jacques Kallis (12) and AB de Villiers (17) in the middle.Laxman's sparkling 96 and his vital 70 run partnership with Zaheer for the eighth wicket was largely responsible for India posting an overall lead of 302. Steyn finished with 2-60 to take his match figures to 8-110.
South Africa 131 and 111 for 3 need another 192 runs to beat India 205 and 228 (Laxman 96)
Durban Test, day two: Zaheer, Harbhajan put India on top
Dec 27, 2010

India lost four again to finish the day on 92 for four, 166 ahead of South Africa's first innings total.India were 56/4 with the top four of Virender Sehwag, M Vijay, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar back. When bad light stopped play, India were 92/4, with VVS Laxman and Cheteshwar Pujara playing sensibly to prevent further damage.
India 205 (Steyn 6-50) and 92 for 4 lead South Africa 131 (Harbhajan 4-10, Zaheer 3-36) by 166 runs
Durban Test, day one: India end day one at 183/6 against South Africa
Dec 26, 2010
India struggled to 183 for six against South Africa when bad weather brought a premature end to the opening day's play in the second Test of the three-match series.India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was 20 not out and Harbhajan Singh 15 not out when the players left the field. India needs to win the second test to have any chance of claiming the series. A victory for No. 2-ranked South Africa in Durban will send India to its first series loss since 2008.
India 183 for six in 56 overs (VVS Laxman 38, Mahendra Singh Dhoni 20 not out, Harbhajan Singh 15 not out; Dale Steyn 4/36) vs South Africa
