Yup that's what I feel too , SA will win this match for sure and most probably series too . Hardik is still playing well and he might go on to score a century but it won't be enough according to me. SA might post 400 as target and Indians will fail to chase it down.

Today's match delayed due to rain so match did not start yet. If India needs to draw this match then only rain can help them otherwise no way India can try for drawing this match. SA is in a very good position to win this match but let's see whether rain can help India in this match. South Africa lead by 142 runs and still, they got 8 wickets remaining in this second innings.

Still, a lot of time left in the game once South Africa takes a lead of 250+ then it will be very difficult for India, already seen how Indian batsman's struggled against Saf fast bowling attack. It's clearly Saf match even though Dale Steyn out of the game because of injury Rabada,Morkel and Philander can do the job for SAF.

Today's day was in favor of South Africa and they had a total control of their innings and once the rain started, this became a spoiler of the day with the match not in control of any of the teams.

The entire day was washed out because of rain and if the rain continues India does have a chance to draw this match and with Dayle Steyn injured there is a possibility that they could bat for a longer time and draw this match,if not India would have lost this game easily,Hardik Pandiya is the only player who showed some class with his batting and bowling.

India must pick up the wickets as soon as possible and bat for a longer period of time to save this match,the rain has helped them today if not there was no hope for India to survive in this match with the terrible first innings performance apart from Pandya,if not for his brilliant effort India would have surrendered early,i was skeptical about his presence in the team for test matches but now i understand his value in the team.

If South Africa bat well, they have to think about a declaration. Even though a score of 250 might be difficult, no team would take a risk by setting such an achievable target. South Africa would want to set Kohli and Co a target of at least 350 runs (if not more). The loss of time due to rain might let India escape with a draw in this match.

Australia are in a very strong position now to go on and win this test match, they have a full day to bowl England out and just need 6 wickets on a pitch that will start to break up as the day goes on so Lyon will be vital in Australia winning this final test match and making it a 4-0 series win.

Now still got two more days in this match and if SA can add another just 150 runs to their total will be good enough to win this match. But don't know yet whether tomorrow also rain will stop this match or not. India will be very happy if again rain stops this match tomorrow because they can try for a draw this match and avoid losing the first test match.

Australia didn't have to try too hard. England folded up for 180 runs in the second innings, giving Australia a victory by an innings and 123 runs. So Australia take the Ashes 4-0. Joe Root, who was the batsman who could have held things up, was retired hurt and did not return due to gastroentritis. With this loss, England have lost more test matches than they have won on an overall basis.

What a turn over in the match right now . SA in very difficult position and if ABD fails to bat well and put up good score then Indians might win this match . Anything above 250 will be difficult to chase in this pitch but very possible with the current Indian side, SA must waste as much balls as possible and try to score only when they get loose balls.

Even 200 is going to be a difficult chase on the final day and SA being the best when it comes to the second innings bowling.India needs to have someone fire like hardik in the second innings to get close to 200.

This match is very interesting and excellent bowling from Indian side they made SA all out just 130 runs in 2nd innings. This made India win this match easily, but SA also gave a shock to India by picking 3 wickets just for 50 runs. Now India needs 156 runs to win this game 7 wickets in hand. Kholi and Sharma are playing SA manage to pick these two wickets quickly then they will get chance to win this match. Let 's see who will win.

Lol, whats happening in this test match. First SA bowled out on 130 and now India has already lost 6 wickets on 81runs, they still required 130 runs to win this test match which seems very difficult at the moment. South Africa need only 4 more wickets to win this match, why wickets are falling every minutes ? Day 3 was washed out due to rain but still this match can be finished on day 4 itself.

Pitch is not easy to bat on it's a matter of time for South Africa they will pick up all the wicket's. This Indian team can't bat in overseas conditions once again proved here target of 208 runs looks like a impossible target for India never easy to chase 200 plus especially in the conditions like this.

Got to agree with you I really don't know why but the Top class Indian batting order looks a bit overshadowed when it comes to tracks which swing a lot. Rabada and Philander have been quite effective against India. Now the match almost seems to be over with Ashwin and Bhuvaneshwar down to bat. I mean this is really the last pair from which you can really expect something but still where the top 7 couldn't gather anything it would rather be unfair to trust both of them.

Well yes and most probably it looks like SA will be the one on the winning side. I think its the humus on this pitch due to some rain which has actually taken this game towards South africa as you can see it was the first innings lead which will actually make them win. But its still a long tour India can surely fight back once they adapt themselves with the conditions.

This is bowling pitch so Batsman is struggling to make a big score. India lost one more wicket 103/7. need 105 runs i think it is not possible. SA will win.

Guys, it's over. India bowled out for just 135, with Vernon Philander taking six wickets. I would have bet on India and lost my money, but fortunately I decided to skip this match. And BTW, I don't know why they are including Ashwin in the playing XI. He is good only in Indian conditions. He can never perform in countries such as South Africa and Australia.

I think they are soon going to change the playing XI Ashwin was kept in because he is the best spinner India has. Turn in South african conditions is really difficult thing to do. But in this match I think it was the Indian batting squad at fault. I mean there wasn't even a single person except Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was able to judge the swing in the ball. I think its better if they bring Rahane in he is a better batsmen of tough conditions but it will be a hard choice to make that who will skip the match.

[DU18]

India have lost by 72 runs against SA.It was really a bad performance from India as they all out by scoring just 135 on second innings.Philander got 6 wickets, he was superb on this match.

India should try to change squad on next match.Because Ashwin getting no help from the pitch.Maybe he will be replace by a fast bowler on next match.

I hope india will come back strongly on next match.

A wonderful test game. Yes, must mention Vernon Philander, he takes career-best figures of 6/42 such a great bowling display against Indian Cricket Team. Indians played well, it's not easy to win against SA in their homegrounds. Wish IND come back next game.

I think they will not drop Ashwin he is the only spinner is playing on the Indian team, maybe they will drop Murali Vijay and bring back Rahane in his place. This is the only option left for Indian Team.

Congrats South Africa.
