That's the game! Morkel tries to hit the big one over midwicket and gets a thick top edge. Dhoni gets under it and makes no mistake.

Full commentary
India win by 96 runs. Excellent result for the visitors who were hungry for a win after being demoralised in the one-day series against South Africa. Even if the bowlers have done well, the Indian top order batting continues to be shaky and that will be their greatest worry going into the Tests.

and he lasts just one ball - that's the third golden duck of the innings ! tossed up, lands full and straight, De Wet doesn't get any bat on that and he is caught stone dead. Nine down, just one more to get.
