A fightback towards the second half of the day saw the Windies get back into the game. South Africa however, still have a decent score on the board and are not done yet. They would hope for the tail to wag and get them over thr 350-run mark. West Indies on the other hand, will want to make quick work of the remaining two wickets. An important first session coming up.

... DAY 2, SESSION 1 ...

From 221/1 to 300/8, West Indies will feel they have done a fantastic job here. The first two sessions were too wayward for them, the runs were flowing easily but it has to be the Alzarri Joseph over where the Windies got two tickets and then there was no stopping. The pitch started to help in the later stages as the other seamers got a wicket as well at least. Alzarri Joseph easily was the best of the lot. In the end, the light was not good enough but West Indies will be happy with how things panned out. Now then, West Indies will look to take the remaining wickets quickly on Day 2. Join us back at 1330 IST (0800 GMT) and earlier for all the build up. Till then, cheers.

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat which turned out to be a good decision
