SA vs WI, 1st Test, Day 3 Highlights: Kagiso Rabada picked up six for 50 to bowl South Africa to an 87-run victory over West Indies in the first Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Thursday. After bowling out the hosts for 116 in the morning, West Indies needed 247 to win but were dismissed for just 159. The only resistance of note came from Jermaine Blackwood who made a gutsy 79 before being ninth man out. The hosts were 49/4, following Keegan Petersen's dismissal on the final ball on Wednesday. Day 2 ended dramatically with the West Indies hitting back after their batting crumbled after tea. South Africa look to extend their 179-run lead in order to set a strong target on the board for the visitors. (LIVE SCORECARD)

SA vs WI, 1st Test Highlights
For South Africa, except for Markram no other batter crossed the 30-run mark. 7 of their batters were dismissed for a score below 10. However, thanks to their bowlers, they had a healthy lead in the first innings and courtesy that, they have set a stiff target in front of the Windies. It is just short of 250 and with the amount of movement we have seen, South Africa will beack themselves to defend it. Windies on the other hand, know they do have a chance to chase it down if they bat well. They though will need to play one over out and they would hope they do not lose a wicket in that.
Top, top performance from West Indies and their bowlers have kept their side in the game. They needed wickets quickly today morning and they have taken just less than one session to do so. Also, they have managed to keep the lead under 250. Roach was the star for them on Day 3 as he ended with a fifer but overall, it was a complete performance from their bowlers. Brilliant.
Yet another review from the Windies as another appeal for a caught behind is turned down! There is some noise but not sure what. OUT! There is a clear spike and Roach has his fifth! Outstanding from him! This is on a length and around off, it lands and moves away. Anrich Nortje looks to defend but it goes off something. Windies review and it is a good one. SOUTH AFRICA HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 116!
There was a call for two but only one! On off, this is pushed towards cover for one.
Another swing and a miss! Clever from Roach! Bowls a slower one outside off, Kagiso Rabada swings but misses.

BEATEN! Length and on off, this lands and moves away. Rabada is beaten as he tries to defend.
A loud appeal but turned down! Windies review but it seems to be a little high. NOT OUT! Umpire's call! Not a bad review that. Could have gone either way. On middle, this one jags back in. Nortje fails to put bat on ball and gets hit on the pads. Windies keep their review. Nortje survives.
FOUR! That is a delightful stroke! Wow! Wonderuful! Fuller and over off, Anrich Nortje leans into it and strokes it through covers. It races away to the fence.
It goes just over the middle pole. Length and on off, this one jags back in. Nortje looks to drive but it goes over the middle pole.
A full toss, this is driven straight to cover.
Full and on the pads, Nortje looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. Another no ball.
Slips this one down the leg side. Wided.
Shorter and on the body, Rabada looks to nudged it on the leg side but it goes off the leading edge towards third man for one.
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Gerald Coetzee goes after adding some handy runs! Windies still have a chance to keep the total to under 250. Shorter and on middle, Gerald Coetzee steps out and looks to pull but it goes off the top edge and into the hands of the keeper.
