Durban, South Africa: South Africa bowled out for 500 runs in the 2nd and final Test against India here on Sunday. India are trailing by  166 runs.



Rain delayed the start after lunch and after play resumed, the hosts extended their lead to 163 runs with Faf du Plessis (41 not out) and Robin Peterson (61) putting on a 110-run eighth-wicket partnership before the latter skied a Zaheer Khan delivery to mid off and was caught by Murali Vijay.

Right then the skies opened up once more and the covers were called on. A little later, and with continuing rain, Australian umpires Steve Davis, standing in his 50th Test, and Rod Tucker called for tea.

Du Plessis and Peterson scored their runs pretty quickly, getting 102 runs in the 24.1 overs they batted in the second session. All rounder du Plessis held the innings together while Peterson was the aggressor, notching up his third half-century in Test cricket.

Zaheer Khan picked Robin Peterson on 61.

Ravindra Jadeja picked 6 wickets for 138 runs which is his now his best figures in test career.
