The hosts hung in there. They were disciplined throughout and the pitch started to help in the final session which resulted to wickets after wickets. Kagiso Rabada started things while Anrich Nortje kept hunting with his pace from the other end. The speedster took a five-fer while Rabada and Gerald Coetzee took four together. Now then! South Africa have a handy lead. It is a very tough patch to play. Around 12 overs remaining. Can South Africa end without losing any wickets?

A lead of 130 runs for South Africa. That was some turnaround by the home team. A splendid performance by them with the ball and have to say, the final session on both days have been the most entertaining one. 7 wickets fall in this one. Just like South Africa, West Indies fall like a pack of cards. From 169 for 3 to 212 all-out. The second half didn't perform to their potential. At one stage, West Indies were stubborn and looked like will easily cut off the run. Jermaine Blackwood batted decently. Raymon Reifer scored a sensible fifty and there were contributions from couple of others as well but then came the Tea-break and after that it was all South Africa.

OUT! LBW! That one swung in sharply and that is the end as well. Length ball outside off and it tails back in. It stays low. Gabriel is beaten as he looks to flick and gets hit on the pads. An appeal and up goes the finger. Gabriel tries his luck but the replay shows it clips the leg pole. Umpire's call and Gerald Coetzee gets his second.
