India clinch South Africa Test series

Nagpur (India) (AFP) - India defeated South Africa by 124 runs in the third Test in Nagpur on Friday to take a decisive 2-0 lead in the four-match series.

The Proteas, who resumed at 32-2 chasing a target of 310, folded up for 185 after tea on the third day on a dusty, deteriorating pitch at the VCA stadium.

India won the first Test in Mohali by 108 runs before the rain-hit second match in Bangalore was drawn.

The fourth and final Test will be played at New Delhi's Ferozeshah Kotla stadium from December 3.
