CRICKET NEWS - The Indian resistance, if you can call it that, barely lasted a session on the final day of the second test at SuperSport Park in Centurion.
Full scorecard: South Africa v India 
Day 5 Interactive coverage
The home team took an unassailable 2-0 lead, comfortably winning by 135 runs.
"It took a lot of hard work and was one of the harder test matches in terms of what you had to put in," South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said at the post-match presentation.
"Bowling was tough, batting was tough, but over the five days I thought we were on top most of the time."
Lungi Ngidi bagged six wickets, a richly deserved haul for an exceptionally promising young fast bowler.
The bizarre nature of India’s response to testing conditions was perfectly summarised by Cheteshwar Pujara, who managed to get run out for the second time in the test, when so much depended on him.
The slowest runner in the Indian team took on the arm of the one of the fastest men in cricket history, AB de Villiers, and there was always going to be only one result.
The throw from the deep came in perfectly over the stumps, the bails were whipped off and Pujara was gone for 19, India slumping to 49 for 4.
Parthiv Patel’s vigil, shielding Rohit Sharma from South Africa’s bowlers on the fourth day, did not last too long on the fifth.
Parthiv took on Kagiso Rabada, hooking well, but his placement wasn’t the best. Morne Morkel, running around in the deep, put in the dive and held onto a stunning catch.
