Bumrah grabs key wicket of Elgar as India move nearer win in first test

South Africa had resumed on 94 for four chasing a venue record 305 for victory, but fell well short of their target on a spicy wicket that had plenty of assistance for the bowlers.

India achieved their victory despite the entire second day of the test being washed out due to rain and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

The second test will be played in Johannesburg from Jan. 3-7, with the third set for Cape Town from Jan. 11-15. India are seeking a first ever test series win in South Africa.
