LIVE IND vs SA 2nd Test: Elgar bids farwell
Dean Elgar | Player of the Series: I would have liked to do more in this game, we might have had a few more runs to try and defend. Still very proud of my performance that I had in Centurion. Finally on the board there in the hundred club. Nice to contribute to a winning cause. Some really tough batting conditions throughout. It (3-Test series) would have been fantastic, maybe back in Centurion (laughs). You want to challenge yourself and play against the best in the world. Bumrah is a world-class bowler, he deserves this Man of the Series award. As a player, you want to test yourself and push yourself to different limits. Glad that I don't have to face these guys again. Fond memories. I'm sure I played that Test match when he (Bumrah) made his debut. We've also come a long way. Very grateful to play against these guys. (On his baggy green) Has had a bit of a journey. A lot of good, amazing memories. I received it in 2012 in the Perth debut, I have missed only one series with it and that was West Indies, captained the first series. It's got a special place at home and it doesn't leave, only leaves for duty, but that's now done and dusted. So I'm gonna have to find a special place for it. It is the first one and I am glad I finished with it.

Shaun Pollock and Sunil Gavaskar: "You don't want these kinds of conditions. If you bowl a full delivery, it's fine. If you bowl a short delivery, it's fine. But it's all happening from a quality length and there's nothing you can do as a batter when it hits that area and stands up steeply which we saw on happen countless occasions. Was it a 55 wicket? No. Certainly wasn't a 250-300 wicket. These types of pitches are dangerous for batters' physical health. Spinning pitches are dangerous to baters' reputation. It's not very easy for batters to play, little of the skill involved."

IND vs SA LIVE: Siraj strikes
Top delivery from Siraj. Fuller and goes away, Markram with the front foot defence but not in line, the kiss of the outside edge and ball flies between second and third slip where Jaiswal takes a stunning diving catch.

LIVE Updates India Vs South Africa: Elgar almost got out
What a ball from Bumrah. A slow, in-dipper to Elgar and the left-handed batter was almost out leg before wicket but the bat saved him. Top stuff from Bumrah this.

IND vs SA Day 1 LIVE: Brilliant from Siraj
India have worked out Elgar here. Siraj targetting the rib cage area as Elgar finds it difficult to play the rising ball there. Siraj trying to tuck him up there. The leading edge took the ball high up but landed safely in the leg side. The first ball of the second over almost brushed his gloves to the keeper. India going well here.
