India bowl out South Africa for 55 in the second Test

Mohammed Siraj bowled the spell of his life to help India bowl South Africa out for just 55 on the first day of the second Test at Newlands in Cape Town on Wednesday.

Siraj (9-3-15-6) returned with his best Test bowling figures as South Africa's batting collapsed after their retiring skipper Dean Elger won the toss and elected to bat.

South Africa won the first Test comfortably in the two-match series.

Siraj was superb with his line and length in a nine over spell after South Africa had elected to bat first.

At the time their captain Dean Elgar described the pitch as an "interesting wicket with a few snakes in it", but there was also some poor shot selection from the hosts.

India’s seamers have been able to get movement off the wicket, but there is also variable bounce at a venue where there has been some low scores.

New Zealand were bowled out for 45 in 2013 and Australia for 47 in 2011.
