Shami stars for India

Mohammed Shami took 5-35 as India beat South Africa by 203 runs in the first test at Visakhapatnam on Sunday. Chasing 395, South Africa were bowled out for 191 in 63.5 overs as Shami and Ravindra Jadeja (4-87) took nine wickets between them. The duo had put on a six-wicket burst before lunch, which saw the Proteas collapse to 70-8. A record 90-run ninth-wicket partnership between Dane Piedt (56) and Senuran Muthusamy (49 not out) saved the touring side’s blushes. India have now won their last three tests, dating back to the tour of West Indies, and have accrued the maximum possible 160 points in the World Test Championship. The second test of the three-match series starts at Pune on Thursday.
