  Over 4.3: He is Caught! Zaheer to A Prince, short and rising delivery, thats perfectly directed onto the rib cage of Prince and he has no chance of dropping his wrists down and the ball after taking the arm guard flies into the keeper's gloves. Not exactly sure if that was the arm guard or the glove, no referrals anyway!

A loud lbw appeal and this time the Umpire gives in. Hawk Eye claims that the ball was going to bounce over the top of middle.

  Hashim Amla is the Man of the Match. Well I would have loved to see that go to Dale Steyn because it was not a bowler friendly pitch to be honest and for a fast bowler to take 10 wickets is an incredible feat. Nevertheless, the bottom line is that SA are 1-0 up and cannot lose the series from here. India have only one opporunity at Kolkata to draw this Series.

  So that is the end of the first Test at Nagpur with South Africa inflicting an innings defeat to the hosts. The heroes of the match are the trio of Jacques Kallis, Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn. Hmm its going to be a very difficult situation to name the Man of the Match between Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn. Perhaps both of them will be sharing the award.
  

  India went in with an under strength team, it was without three world class batsmen and the last minute injury to Rohit Sharma further depleted the middle order. This is the first loss for MS Dhoni in Test Matches.
