Ind vs SA: Mohammed Shami's 5-wicket haul helps India beat South Africa in 3rd Test

Mohammed Shami's five-wicket haul helped India bundle out South Africa for 177 in their second innings on the fourth day to win the third Test match by 63 runs here today. 

Proteas lost their last eight wickets for 53 runs as India remained unbeaten at Wanderers.

Chasing 241, South Africa were placed comfortably at 124 for two at one stage but their innings folded for 177 following a dramatic collapse.

Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma took two wickets each. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who scored 66 runs in two innings, got one wicket. 

Dean Elgar, who took a nasty blow on his helmet yesterday and forced early stumps, was top scorer for his side with a fighting unbeaten 86-run knock. Besides Elgar, only Hashim Amla (52) and Vernon Philander (10) scored in two digits. 

South Africa won the first Test of three-match series by 72 runs and the second Test by 135 runs.
