2:16 PM IST ...Presentation time...

2:16 PM IST The start was superb by the home team. Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram laid up a good foundation. It looked like South Africa will score around 400 but the final session of Day 1 saw them crumbling down and losing their foot. Alzarri Joseph ended with a five-fer. It was sort of same for the Windies. Raymon Reifer batted well with a couple of contributions from others but just like hosts, lost it in the final session of Day 2. This time it was Anrich Nortje with a five-fer. The way pitch was playing, it shows how valuable the knock from Aiden Markram was in the second innings. Jermaine Blackwood tried to replicate the same but to no avail.
