SA all out for 55

Earlier, South Africa collapsed to 55 all out in the first session after winning the toss and opting to bat first.

The Proteas won the first Test at Centurion by more than an innings.

The chief destroyer for India was Mohammed Siraj who took 6/15 in nine overs, for his best bowling return in Test matches.

He was backed up by Mukesh Kumar (2/0 in 2.2 overs) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/25 in eight overs).

The total of 55 runs is South Africa’s eighth lowest Test score.
