India claimed a 1-0 series victory over South Africa with a comprehensive eight-wicket win in the second Test in Kolkata.

South Africa began the morning at the crease as they looked to build on their total of 172 for five.

The overnight pairing of Jacques Kallis and Zander de Bruyn was quickly split however when Kallis was dismissed by Harbhajan Singh, the spinner taking an easy catch off his own bowling.

Shaun Pollock (55) then became the fifth all-rounder to reach 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Test cricket before he was dismissed as three wickets fell in less than an over.

The tourists were eventually dismissed for 222 when Makhaya Ntini edged Anil Kumble to Raul Dravid at first slip.

That gave Kumble his 434th wicket in Test cricket, equalling Kapil Dev's record.

The target of 117 proved well within India's reach as Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar comfortably saw the hosts to 120, despite the loss of openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir.
