SA vs WI, 1st Test, Day 1 Live Updates: South Africa openers, Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram, made a solid start after Temba Bavuma, in his first Test as captain, won the toss and opted to bat in the first Test against the West Indies at SuperSport Park in Centurion on Tuesday. Bavuma said at the toss that he expected conditions to be tricky at the start. The South African team showed five changes from the side that played in the third Test of a losing series in Australia in January. Opening batsman Tony de Zorzi and fast bowler Gerald Coetzee won their first caps. Keegan Petersen returned from injury while left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Senuran Muthusamy, who played two Tests in India in 2019, was a surprise inclusion ahead of Keshav Maharaj. The West Indies made one change from the side that beat Zimbabwe by an innings and four runs in Bulawayo earlier this month as Kemar Roach replaced Gudakesh Moti. (LIVE SCORECARD)
