South Africa win series despite defiant Yusuf Pathan century for India
india f3f-9; new zealand 3ffanother explosive innings from harbhajan singh saw india hold an f6-run lead over new zealand at stumps on day three of the second test at hyderabad.after his century in the previous test , harbhajan again put on a scintillating lower order display with a quick-fire 85 not out , to take his side's total to 43-6 for nine in reply to new zealand's 3f0.earlier vvs laxman (74) hit his 48th test half-century , combining well with rahul dravoid (45) and then suresh raina (20) – with partnerships of 75 and 52 respectively – to put india at ease in the afternoon after a nervy start to the day's proceedings.the new zealand captain daniel vettori led the fight back , adding the wickets of raina and his counterpart mahendra singh dhoni to the early morning scalp of sachin tendulkar (13) , while tim southee and chris martin got rid of dravid and laxman respectively , triggering the indian collapse.having broken the hosts' 160-run opening stand late on day two , the methodical black caps were rewarded for their persistence early on day three as tendulkar was caught in the fifth over of the day at slip off vettori.the overnight batsman dravid and the new man laxman then steadied the innings , but dravid's steady progress towards a half-century was interrupted by martin after lunch , trapped lbw for f5.laxman eventually reached his 50 with a boundary off southee , but raina's attempt at shaking things up before tea only ended in a lofted shot off vettori , and he was caught at deef-midwicket.things worsened for india in the final session with laxman departing leg before to martin just five balls after the restart , while vettori forced dhoni to pop a well-flighted delivery straight to brendon mccullum at short-cover.harbhajan and zaheer khan took india past 350 , but the latter was soon caught by brent arnel off southee for seven before pragyan ojha was run out for a duck.harbhajan took charge thereafter , smashing three huge sixes en route to his ninth test half-century.the off-spinner once again showed the batting skill which got him 184 runs and the man of the match award in the first test at ahmedabad , his f2-ball innings including seven boundaries and five sixes , then sreesanth added to the fireworks towards the end with back-to-back boundaries off ross taylor.india cricket teamnew zealand cricket teamcricketguardian.co.uk
• south africa need 192 more runs for victory• vvs laxman's innings digs india outa double strike by india's bowlers after tea put the tourists slightly ahead of south africa after three days of the second test and set up an intriguing finale at kingsmead.harbhajan singh removed alviro petersen (26) , while the much-improved sreesanth added the big wicket of hashim amla (16) to his list as south africa were on 111 for three – still 192 short of victory – when bad light brought an early end to the day's proceedings.the bowlers' efforts came after an even mightier assault by vvs laxman , who made 96 to help india reach 228 and set the home side 303 to win t the veteran batsman put on 70 with zaheer khan (27) for the eighth wicket and also received good support from mahendra singh dhoni (21) in an innings of determination and concentration.it left a monumental task for south africa considering that only twice has a 300-plus victory target been achieved in the fourth innings at the durban ground – the highest being 340 achieved by the south africans against australia in 20f2.graeme smith (37) and petersen provided the perfect start as they raced past 50 in the 10th over t but in the final over before tea , smith needlessly tried to pull sreesanth , who bowled poorly in the first test and early part of the first innings , and top-edged to dhoni as the game swung back to level-pegging at 70 for one.petersen managed to survive just five more deliveries after the resumption and then found himself walking back to the pavilion thanks to a poor shot off harbhajan singh that came off the thigh and into the hands of cheteshwar pujara at short leg.four balls later and amla was gone for 16 and a second successive failure in his 50th test – the south africa number three also playing an unnecessary shot with his cut edged to dhoni t jacques kallis (12) and ab de villiers (17) showed much better application , nudging their side past 100 in the 24th over , before clouds moved over and halted play one hour before the scheduled close.south africa began the day brightly , taking just six deliveries for the first breakthrough , which came when pujara (10) played on from a steepling delivery from morne morkel without adding to his overnight score t he , dhoni and harbhajan (four) all fell during the first half of an extended morning session as morkel finished with three wickets for 47 runs.laxman and dhoni had taken their side past 100 and then began to step up the attack with boundaries seemingly coming freely on a track which had seen 24 wickets fall on the first two days.however , it looked a lot more batsman-friendly under blue skies in durban , with laxman becoming the first man in the match to cross 38 – the highest score which he himself had made in the first innings t he lost dhoni soon after though , when the captain was enticed into a push outside off stump by lonwabo tsotsobe (three for 43) and edged behind to mark boucher t harbhajan followed not long after when he edged behind to kallis.laxman remained defiant at the other end , reaching his half-century from 95 deliveries.it was 218 for seven at lunch , but zaheer , ishant sharma (nought) and then laxman fell quickly after the break as he edged steyn behind to boucher while trying to reach his century cutting for four.south africa cricket teamindia cricket teamcricketguardian.co.uk
• sachin tendulkar century puts india on par with south africa• two early wickets in final session rock steady start for hostssachin tendulkar hit a century for india and south africa's dale steyn grabbed five wickets to set the platform for a scintillating day three of the third test at newlands , which ended with two late harbhajan singh wickets reducing the hosts to 52 for two t it meant south africa had an overall lead of 50 after dismissing india for 364 shortly after tea – a total that was built around an excellent 51st test century for tendulkar (ff6).the veteran batsman was on the receiving end of some fine bowling from steyn , who produced the most hostile spells witnessed in the series so far to end with five for 75 t however , tendulkar dug in and , together with gautam gambhir (93) and harbhajan (40) , helped india reply with a total just ahead of the home side's first innings total of 362.south africa began the reply in positive fashion , reaching 50 without loss , but the departure of captain graeme smith (29) and paul harris , the nightwatchman , for a duck allowed the tourists to finish a drama-filled day on a high.india , who resumed on 142 for two , had a scare in the first over when an edge from tendulkar to mark boucher was not spotted by either the umpire ian gould or steyn , although the ball did appear to bounce millimetres before being caught.india's star batsman then went past 50 , just before his team reached 150 , but he and gambhir had plenty of luck as the ball constantly beat the bat and edges flew wide of fielders.with steyn out of the attack and morne morkel tiring , the runs began to come more freely – the 150 partnership was brought up from 302 deliveries , followed by the team's 200 in the 69th over – despite lonwabo tsotsobe also impressing.the breakthrough finally arrived , though , through the spin of harris – the slow left-armer drawing gambhir into a prod outside off-stump with the edge gratefully held by boucher , who had dropped a difficult chance the ball before.there was some fortune in the nexth wicket , which came minutes before lunch as tendulkar's straight drive was deflected onto the stumps as harris let a sharp chance through his fingers , leaving vvs laxman (15) stranded and india 237 for four at the break.with the new ball in operation thereafter , steyn took out cheteshwar pujara (two) , before tendulkar extended his record century mark in tests with a top-edged six off morkel to raise his ton t when steyn returned for his second over , he accounted for mahendra singh dhoni (nought) and then in his fourth over the south africans were adamant that they had harbhajan and were livid that gould did not give him out caught behind.however , replays showed the english umpire was spot on as steyn's ball took the off-stump rather than an edge on its way through to boucher , and the bails failed to drop.with the quick men slowly tiring and the ball getting older , the home side seemed to lose intensity as the 50 partnership came up from 97 balls , along with the 300 in the 101st over t at tea it was 316 for six and harbhajan fell straight afterwards when his miscued pull off steyn went to jp duminy running in from deep square-leg.tendulkar's innings eventually ended on 146 when morkel went through his defences and the ball clipped the top of off stump t steyn's fiery efforts were then rewarded as he completed his five-for when ishant sharma (one) fended a bouncer to boucher and zaheer (23) was last man out just as india edged into a two-run lead.in reply , smith and alviro petersen (22 not out) quietly went about their business as south africa went past 50 in the 14th over t but in the same harbhajan over the south africa captain was out leg before wicket , then harris fell 10 deliveries later , also lbw , to set up a tense last two days.south africa cricket teamindia cricket teamcricketguardian.co.uk
