Rain-hit India-South Africa Test Ends in Draw

Bangalore: The rain-ravaged second Test between India and South Africa ended in a dreary draw in Bangalore on Wednesday after play was washed out for a fourth consecutive day.

The umpires called off the final day's play at 11:30 am (0600 GMT) due to a wet outfield at the Chinnaswamy stadium caused by incessant rains over the past week.

There was action only on the first day on Saturday when South Africa were shot out for 214 after being sent in to bat and India replied with 80 for no loss.

The third Test of the four-match series starts in Nagpur on November 25. India won the first Test in Mohali by 108 runs.
