South Africa need 481 to win after India declare at Kotla

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - South Africa will have to score 481 to win the fourth and final test against India after the hosts declared their second innings on 267-5 on the penultimate day at the Ferozeshah Kotla on Sunday.





Ajinkya Rahane remained unbeaten on 100, his second century of the match, having raised a series-high 154-run partnership with skipper Virat Kohli who fell for 88 earlier in the morning.

Wriddhiman Saha was unbeaten on 23 when India declared 30 minutes before the lunch break.

Morne Morkel was the pick of the South African bowlers, claiming 3-51.

South Africa folded for 121 in the first innings and have not scored more than 185 in the spinner-dominated series.

India have already taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
