- Andre Nel4/13 (8)
So South Africa win by 157 runs. India were bowled out for 91 in 29.1 overs, their lowest score against South Africa. South Africa rallied around Jacques Kallis' unbeaten 119 to post 248 for 8, and India never looked in the hunt after Shaun Pollock struck two early blows. From there onwards, Andre Nel and Charl Langeveldt kept the pressure on the Indians and Kallis chipped in with three wickets himself. He's the Man of the Match. India are now 0-1 down as the series moves to Cape Town for the third match on Saturday, November 26.

South Africa aren't ranked second to Australia for nothing, and it's worthremembering that they beat the world's best 3-2 last March. But even theycan't have expected it to be so easy
