So there it is, again. India all out in under 40 overs and South Africa win by 80 runs. Once again it was the lack of technique to adjust to the extra bounce and the moving ball that has let India down. Ntini and Pollock started off well and by 20 overs India were reduced to 82 for 5. Once Dhoni was back in the hut it was just a matter of time. Pathan put up a fighting effort and his 47 not out is the only bright spot in an otherwise gloomy looking batting card.
Pollock and Ntini were once again unstoppable but Kemp was the most successful South African bowler with 3 for 21 runs in just 4.1 overs. Kallis and Nel chipped in with a wicket apiece. That's all we have for you today, but do join us again on Friday, December 1 for the twenty20 game. Until then this is Sajan Nair along with Sriram Veera signing off - Good night and good luck.

Kemp to Sreesanth, OUT, And the inevitable. Short ball on the middle and off stump line, Sreesanth makes room and cuts hard, ball clips the shoulder of the bat and goes straight to de Villiers at cover. Sreesanth straightaway looked at the square leg umpire in an attempt to let him know that it was too high but by then the finger had gone up and the ice-box was being rushed out.

Pathan is just one run away from scoring 1000 runs in the shorter version of the game - lets see whether he will reach the landmark today
