Dale Steyn struck straight away on the final day as South Africa bowled India out for 223 in their second innings on Monday to close in on a series victory in Jacques Kallis’ final Test.

Spinner Robin Peterson took four wickets, leaving South Africa needing 58 runs to win the second Test and the two-game contest despite a fighting 96 by Ajinkya Rahane, who was India’s last man out searching for a maiden Test hundred.

Steyn removed Virat Kohli off the first ball of the day and Cheteshwar Pujara (32) in his second over on the way to his 3-47.

Peterson took 4-74 and Vernon Philander grabbed his third when he bowled Rahane right at the end.

South Africa took eight wickets in a session-and-a-half.
