India vs South Africa Day 5 Highlights: Proteas win first series in IND in 25 years; hosts' worst-ever defeat at home

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5:

"It's massive for me personally, being out of the game for a couple of months. Being at home this is what we were working towards and dreaming of. Not everyday you think of coming to India and getting a 2-0 result. What makes it sweeter for some of us is that we have been on the other side of the result and had dark days. We know how tough it can be. Answers some of the questions posed to us as a group.

It's a big shift in our mindset in terms of what we want to do when we are out there. Our preparation was really apt, guys are really clear on our roles. From a unit point of view, everyone wants to contribute, even guys who come in off the bench like Muthusamy.

As a team we are in a good space and this will grow our confidence even more.

In any team or organization, everyone wants to know where they stand and what is expected of them. Everyone wants to be the guy for their team. We don't have guys who will score big 150s, but we have 4-5 guys who will always score 60s-70s.

Simon has the experience of having played in India in 2015. He's got a wealth of experience and compliments Keshav very well. I appreciate the competitiveness between the two, I struggle to take the ball out of their hands. Good space from a bowling point of view. KG was a big loss for us, but speaks to the guys stepping up for the team."

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 17 wickets in the series for the impressive Simon Harmer.

"Like I said in the last Test, long road, 10 years later back here. I'm going to leave with a lot more fond memories. To leave here 2-0 was always the goal, and to beat a very good Indian team was a hell of an effort.

I was watching our second innings when the Indian boys bowled, after 40 overs the ball got softer and things weren't happening. But with deterioration and footmarks there was always the odd ball like the one Rishabh got.

In the second innings we knew they had to bat for their lives, they put up a hell of a fight but we knew if we put it in the right areas things would happen for us.

Temba came and said to me why don't we have a go from the other end, so great decision from him.

Kesh's record speaks for itself, he's an incredible bowler and deserves to be the number one spinner. I'm happy to play the supporting role, and if the opportunity presents itself I take it with both hands. Jasprit had my number this series so a few things to work on there, keep trying to evolve.

We don't play Test cricket until September-October, so back to the drawing board and I make sure I put my best foot forward."

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: 93 and a 7 wicket performance in Guwahati.

"If you win any Test it's a nice feeling, winning a series in India is special. Everyone put their hands up in critical situations. Proper team performance.

We spoke about doing the simple things very well. If we needed to change things, then change things, otherwise stick to what is going well.

Shuks told me to go out and play my game, first Test I was a bit tense. I went out and expressed myself.

For me, everyone is working very hard. We know what we need to go out and perform as a team and in an individual capacity. We always look to improve and get better, all that fancy stuff, but at the end of the day it's about playing for the team."

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5:

"It's disappointing but as a team we need to get better. Have to give credit to the opposition. If we dwell too much… you have to take learning and stick as a team.

They dominated the series. We played at home but can't take it for granted. There were moments we were up but didn't capitalize.

They played better cricket, you can play home or away, but it demands that determination and a little extra."

On positives: “The positive will be focusing on our own plan. Only thing we can take from it.”

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: A real beatdown. It wasn't close. Largest fourth innings margin loss by runs for India at home. India will be smarting from this. Presentation quotes next.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Oh my word, what a grab that is! Running backward after Siraj sends it miles into the air, the tall Jansen covers ground, dives backward, sticks out a hand, and makes it miraculously stick!

A whopping 408-run victory, a first series win for SA in India in 25 years, a whitewash – a demolition in all senses of the word. What a performance, and the post-mortem for India begins in Guwahati.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Things wrapping up quickly. Tries to charge Maharaj, who hasn't had the best series but doesn't have to do much there. Quick glovework from Verreynne and this will be a quick afternoon for the Proteas.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Nitish tries to match Jadeja and employ the sweep, the reverse, but it just strikes him on the glove and loops up into the air for Verreynne to take easily. 8 down, two wickets to go.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: He has shown positivity and a great eye, the only batter who has looked comfortable. Jadeja's excellent stretch of Test batting continues. Big six for his half-century.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Unplayable! Some performance from Harmer. Quicker, flatter, but purchase all the same. Similar to the Pant dismissal, climbs high on Sundar's bat, and catches the edge. Flies to Markram, who reacts quickly and well to take his ninth catch of the match.

SA almost there. Last recognised partnership is in.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Harmer has been brought back with two lefties at the crease, after taking a brief break. Key test for Sundar and Jadeja in this phase of play – and Jadej agreets him with a tonk down the ground for four.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: They've been in this position before. Remember Old Trafford. Need something like that effort again, but it won't be easy. 50+ overs to play out.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: No no no! He'd done so well to recover from the early chance, and needed to be there for much longer. Just doesn't smother the full ball and edges it to Markram, who takes his 8th catch of the match.

Muthusamy having a game to remember, but India immediately on the back foot. 95/6.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: And we're back. Key session, this one, India will want this to be the one that goes in their favour to give them a chance in the last.

It's an auspicious start – Muthusamy gets his first over and serves up a full toss, which Jadeja can time for four.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: And Sudharsan can take a break. After that early reprieve off the no-ball, he has ensured he has watched everything very closely. Slow going from him, but he is batting on 14*(138) and won't want to throw it away. Jadeja looking good at the other end, and will know as the senior player he will have to ensure he remains at the crease too.

But South Africa's session. Harmer continues to be sensational, 4 wickets in this innings. Tea break, back soon.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: He's been good so far, has Jadeja. Sweeping well, using his feet well. Really good feet against Maharaj, dances down and just whips it for six.

Approaching the end of this session so India will want to be careful.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Not great sights for India, as the pitch is beginning to misbehave just here and there. Maharaj gets one to explode from a good length and hit Jadeja in his shoulder. Variable bounce will make this impossible to survive.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Sudharsan has been ultra-defensive, but Jadeja being proactive, trying to ensure he doesn't gently fend at anything. Harmer is bowling terrificly here.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: That's too good from Harmer, just plants the idea in Pant's head and catches him out by looping it up and slowing it down. Pant is far too early into his forward defence, bounces extra, catches the shoulder of the bat, and loops easily into the air for the slip to take.

58/5. India collapsing again.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: He will do that because that's how he knows how to deal with pressure best. Marginally short, he rocks back and punches for four. Too full and he dances down to loft it for six over long off. Doesn't like going into a shell, does the Indian skipper.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Rishabh Pant is in and will need to be watchful. South Africa won't mind conceding runs to him, so even his counter-attacking won't change too many things. Can't ask him not to be aggressive, but it has to be in a controlled and calculated manner.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Got him! Dhruv Jurel gets off the pair, but is dismissed right after. Not his tour despite the form he was in. Tentative early on, just pushes at it and it doesn't grip much. Genuine edge nicely taken low by Markram.

42/4, Harmer 3/6 so far. Pant in.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Knocked him over! Just kept going straight on, no turn on that one. Brilliant bowling once again from Harmer. Lots of pressure with close-in fielders under Yadav's helmet, and he just slides a quicker one through. Nowhere close, ultimately, was Kuldeep. 7 wickets away.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Today won't be easy for India. South Africa are still finding so much in this pitch, far more than India's bowlers were yesterday. Entirely different equation, and a lot of nervousness behind how Sudharsan is going about his work.

India vs South Africa Live Score, 2nd Test Day 5: Oh can you believe it! A matter of 3-4 balls, and a couple of bonus lives for India. Harmer draws the edge, goes to Markram, and some of the South Africans are already celebrating – but the always-safe Markram shells it! India getting away with a couple despite some good bowling early.
