India were blown away on day 5 of the test in South Africa. they were bowled out for 223 leaving them selves with only 59 to defend. the South African opening batsmen Graeme Smith and Alviro Petersen made short work of the total brining up the 59 runs for victory in just 11.4 overs.
Was also the end to of an era for Jacques Kallis one of the best all-rounders the game has seen. report below :)

England won the toss in the morning and put Australia in to bat on a wicket that did abit. at lunch the Aussies were 94/4 and shortly after the lunch interval we were 97/5 but then Smith and Haddin batted the Aussies into safety with a 128 run partnership. Haddin was out for 75 and Smith was the last wicket to fall with his score on 115 and the team score at 326. Ben Stokes took 6 wickets for 99 runs. England had to bat in a tricky little session before stumps they are 8/1. Michael Johnson taking the wicket of Michael Carberry caught down the leg side for 0.

alright first over of day 2

1)Harris to Cook, no run, full on off stump, 136kph, defended towards a short, straight mid-off

2)Harris to Cook, OUT, would you believe it! Cook has just padded up to one which would have taken off stump. Don't think the ball really did that much, it was just straight and held its line. Yet Cook just thrust his pad forward and a few seconds later Aleem Dar's finger went up

*random comment*
Scrambled minds, scrambled techniques. This could be messy.

3)Harris to Bell, no run, dropped! He should have been two-in-two. Perfect line on off stump, making Bell play and the outside edge his shelled by Watson at first slip!

4)Harris to Bell, no run, now he's beaten! Harris all over England, who look clueless. It's another good delivery, 143kph, and Bell is pushing forward then the ball skids past the outside edge

5)Harris to Bell, no run, finds the middle of the bat, a minor victory for Bell, it's back of a length on off stump and defended

6)Harris to Bell, no run, a leading edge! Sorry for overload of exclamation marks, but what an over. Full, straightening a touch on Bell who shapes to play to the leg side and ball lands in front of mid-on. Jeepers.
