3.25pm India dominate another Test in this series at home. Started the Test just three days back with a good opening stand and they did not look back from there. South Africa's impressive nine-year record ends. Ashwin takes 12 in the game, seven in the second innings to skittle SA out for a combined score of 264 in two innings. India also dismissed SA for 79 in the first innings which was the lowest total India have bowled a side out for. Lot of talk throughout the Test has been about the pitch, which was a minefield on the first couple of days and played slightly better today. So it is SA 2, India 1 in terms of series wins on this tour. The batsmen struggled throughout the match but it was good to see the application of Amla and Faf today. Nowhere close to enough though and India take an unassailable 2-0 series lead.

Ashwin is the Man of the Match: "The wicket slowed up a bit today, there was help in the wicket but the way Faf and Amla played, we had to put some good balls. One team was trying to fight, one team was trying to win. batsmen go out to make 100s, I go out to get five-fors. I thought Amit bowled a wonderful spell after lunch, we prized out a couple of wickets in that post-lunch session. Anybody who goes out there and trusts his defense can play well.

Hashim Amla: "Obviously very disappointing. It was a hard game. Whether we win or lose, we have to fight honorably and well done to the guys. We tried to dig deep as long as we can. The pitch was a difficult factor, it was turning and bouncing whether the new ball or the old one. Three day matches are difficult.

Virat Kohli: "Very pleasing indeed, especially because they won the ODI and T20 series. Some good cricket in Mohali, Bangalore and here. feels very good. we played some good cricket. Ashwin is a world-class spinner, he stepped up in a big way for us, maybe the best in the world at the moment, we expected them to string in a partnership or two. This is what Test cricket is, we need patience with the ball and believing a chance will come. Mishra showed great character in that period. I think it was a challenging wicket, the batsmen applied better in Mohali. It is all about application. There are no sorts of excuses on that, our batsmen showed character in three innings. Sometimes you have conditions where it is going to be bowler-friendly, chances can be created. Spinner s have had an upper hand in the series. Sealing the series was very important, Delhi will be an opportunity for us to be more consistent.

Pratik: "Nice to see that SA won the second inniings"

India just one wicket away from a series win
