As easy as one-two-three for India

Anil Kumble and Zaheer Khan bowled India to their first Test victory in South Africa on Monday.

India won the first Test by 123 runs shortly before lunch on the fourth day.

South Africa, who needed 402 to win, were dismissed for 278 in their second innings.

Leg-spinner Kumble took three for 54 and left-arm fast bowler Khan claimed three for 79.

Ashwell Prince stood firm for more than five hours for his 97, South Africa’s top score.
