Jacques Kallis marked the end of his test career with an emotive farewell century on Sunday to give South Africa a chance of victory over India going into the last day of their two-match series. India were hanging on grimly on 68 for two wickets at the end of the fourth day of the second test at Kingsmead, still 98 runs behind after Kallis's ton helped South Africa to a 166-run first-innings lead. Playing his last test, the 38-year-old all-rounder scored 115, his 45th test century, and moved into third place on the all-time list of test run scorers as South Africa were all out for 500 in their first innings shortly after tea, in reply to India's 334. India will effectively need to bat for most of the last day on Monday to take the match beyond their hosts and avoid the potential of defeat after last week's first test ended in a dramatic draw.
