Right then! That's all from this game! South Africa completely dominated this game and they lead the 2-match Test series 1-0. West Indies would now look to make a comeback and try to level the series in the second Test. The second Test match will begin on 18th June 2021 at 1000 local (1400 GMT). Do join us then. Cheers and take care.

Quinton de Kock, the MAN OF THE MATCH, says that he has not given much thought about his innings but he is happy to help his team win. Adds that there are friends of him and he does an initiative for Rhino conservation and that is what his celebrations were all about. Goes onto say that his friends went crazy after he scored a century. Tells that he asked Nortje how to go about it and he told him to look for boundaries and it came off. Goes onto say that this is an awesome place to keep wickets but the ball wobbled a bit and that made it difficult.

Dean Elgar, the South African skipper, says that he is very impressed and it is a collective effort by the side. Adds that there has been a lot of planning. Says that everything worked for them and him as a captain. Tells that he is a firm believer that runs are important despite the conditions. Goes onto say that they have been struggling of late and it is great to see Quinton de Kock, Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen score some runs. States that this was a difficult wicket and the bowlers rose to the occasion and they knew that the pitch here would help the bowlers. Says that with Covid regulations, they have a larger squad and lot of their guys are part of the T20I squad. Adds that it was going to be bowler-friendly conditions. Tells that he told the guys that they needed 100s and 5-fers to win. Says that Lungi Ngidi was brilliant and Quinton de Kock showed what a world-class player he is. Adds that Rabada is hard-working and it is great to see him back among the wickets. Goes onto say that Nortje is a massive trump card for them and it is nice to see him bowl in the 140s. Adds that the guys will have some time to rest.

Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies' skipper, says that the pitch had variable bounce and they did not bat well in the first innings. Goes onto say Day 2 had a little moisture but South Africa batted well. Goes onto say that South Africa had quality bowlers and they need to bat better. Adds that they bowled well, Jayden Seales was magnificent. States that the spinners did a good job. Says that the first innings hampered them a lot. Tells that Seales is a special talent. Goes onto say that there is not much to work on and they need to replicate what they do in the nets.

South Africa were upto the mark in the second innings as well. Kagiso Rabada led the way with a 5-fer. He bowled superbly and did not give anything away and was simply brilliant. Anrich Nortje was once again brilliant with the ball while Lungi Ngidi bowled well but to no reward. Keshav Maharaj too joined the party with his two wickets and in the end, it was a comfortable victory for South Africa. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

West Indies had a tall order to face in their second innings but they just disappointed again. Kraigg Brathwaite did not last long nor did Shai Hope, Kieran Powell and Kyle Mayers. Roston Chase was the only shining light for the West Indies in the second innings as he scored a fine 62 but that was never going to be enough as they folded for 162, giving South Africa an easy win.

South Africa's first innings was all about Quinton de Kock. Yes, there were contributions from Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen but the way de Kock played was simply superb. He started off slowly and once he realized that he was losing partners, he went berserk and scored a majestic 141 to get a lead of 225 which was a very good lead. He was well supported by Anrich Nortje who stuck around. For West Indies, Jayden Seales impressed with 3 wickets and Jason Holder finished with 4 but they did not ask enough questions of the South African batters.

After opting to bat first, West Indies were blown away for just 97 in their first innings. There was simply nothing from the batters and they simply crumbled against the Proteas' bowling. For South Africa, Anrich Nortje started it all as he blew up the top order with a 4-fer and then Lungi Ngidi cleaned it up with his second 5-fer in Tests and Rabada too did a very good job. That was the game right there.

A comprehensive win for South Africa! They have beaten West Indies by an innings and 63 runs. Dean Elgar's captaincy stint begins with a bang. Brilliant performance from the Proteas and they will be really pleased with the effort. West Indies, on the other hand, will be really disappointed with the performance and they need to make a comeback in the next game. They have been completely dominated in this game.

Commentary

We are back for the second innings of West Indies and the post-Tea session. The South African players make their way out to the middle, followed by Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieron Powell. If you are wondering why Kieron Powell when he is not in the original squad? He has been brought in as a concussion substitute for Nkrumah Bonner who was hit on the helmet in the first innings. Kagiso Rabada will start with the ball.

... Day 2, Session 3 ...

West Indies' bowlers toiled hard with the ball in hand. They gave it their all but it just was not their outing. Jason Holder was the star with a 4-fer but it was Jayden Seales who actually stole the show on Day 1 with 3 wickets but he was unlucky on Day 2. Roach was decent as well while the spinners had no help from the surface and they tried hard but to no reward. Right then, West Indies need to bat really, really well if they want to salvage something of the Test match. South Africa would look to pick up quick wickets and try to take some before Stumps on Day 2. Join us in around 20 minutes for the final session of Day 2.

South Africa did not start off well as they lost Dean Elgar in the first over and then Keegan Petersen soon after. Aiden Markram played a fine knock of 60 before he fell towards the end of Day 1. Rassie van der Dussen looked good but it was the knock of Quinton de Kock that made the difference. He came out, started slowly, and then after losing partners at the other end, he went berserk. De Kock scored 141 runs and many of them came in the partnership between him and Anrich Nortje. He is one of the reasons that South Africa lead by so much.

Quinton de Kock, take a bow! What an unbelievable innings from de Kock! His 141 has helped the Proteas score 322 and they lead by 225 runs. They are well ahead in the game and they will look to start well with the ball. West Indies have a big task in hand as they are way behind and they need to bat very well to have a chance in this game. With the last wicket, it is TEA as well.

96.5W

Commentary

We are set to resume! The West Indies fielders have taken the field. So have Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar. Kemar Roach to start with the ball.

.. Innings 2 ...

South African bowlers started really well with Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi beating the outside edge with the new ball on several occasions. Then came on the hero of the first session, Anrich Nortje, he picked up 3 wickets in the first session to rock the Windies' top order. Kagiso Rabada also took a wicket in that session. Post Lunch though, it was all about Lungi Ngidi. The right-arm pacer bowled consistently in the corridor outside off and induced the outside edge to get his wickets. He ended with a 5-wicket haul and will be delighted with the way the series has started for him. Now, it is up to the South African batters to score a big score.

None of the Windies batters crossed the 20- run mark and that should tell you the story. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite had a good start as they survived the new ball for a while but once they fell, West Indies were in all sorts of trouble, none of their batters barring Roston Chase showed any intent to hang in there. There were a lot of poor shots and the wickets of Kyle Mayers and Rahkeem Cornwall were a result of such poor shots. The lack of foot movement also cost them as they edged a lot of balls to the slip cordon. In the end, they managed only 97. Now, it will be up to their bowlers to put on some fight.

Well, well the day so far has been all about the South African bowlers. They have dismissed the hosts for under 100 and now their batters will look to pile a lead. For West Indies, the decision to bat after winning the toss will come under scanner as they haven't even managed to score 100 runs.

40.5W

OUT! TAKEN! Lungi Ngidi has taken 5 wickets in the innings! Jason Holder gets the outside edge as he looks to defend it. The ball goes to the second slip where Aiden Markram dives to his left to take the catch. West Indies end at 97 for 10!

40.44

FOUR! Edged and a boundary! Fuller ball, outside off. Jason Holder pushes at it but gets the thick outside edge. The ball goes past gully for a boundary.

40.30

Fuller ball, on off. Defended out.

40.20

Beaten! Length ball, outside off. Holder looks to defend but the ball once again zips past the edge.

40.12

Length ball, outside off. Holder miscues his slog but the ball goes over mid off for a couple.

Runs Scored 1 Runs

Jason Holder14 (36)

Jayden Seales0 (11)

Anrich Nortje11-3-35-4

39.61

Easy single on the last ball of the over. Shorter ball, outside off. Pulled away to deep mid-wicket for one. Holder to keep the strike.

39.50

Another short ball, around off. Holder sways away from the line.

39.40

Almost had his man there! Full ball, just outside off. Jason Holder backs away to leg side and looks to slog the ball. The ball goes just past the off pole.

39.30

Shorter ball, on leg. Holder pulls it to fine leg, but doesn't take the single.

39.20

Shorter ball, outside off. Holder ducks under this one.

39.10

Shorter ball, down the leg side. Left alone.

Drinks break! South African bowlers have done well to exploit the conditions. They have managed to keep the Windies batters on the backfoot. Nortje claimed his fourth removing Blackwood soon after lunch. Ngidi entered into the wickets column by removing Raston Chase and Joshua Da Silva in quick succession. He bagged another two in the likes of Cornwall and Roach. South Africa just need a single wicket before they come to bat on.

An appeal for LBW, but probably sliding down the leg side. Length ball, angling in towards the pads. Jayden Seales misses his defence and gets hit on the pads. Lungi Ngidi pulls out of the appeal midway as he realises that the ball is sliding down the leg side.

38.20

Good length ball, this comes back after pitching outside off. Left alone again.

Keshav Maharaj too joined the party with his two wickets and in the end, it was a comfortable victory for South Africa. Stay tuned for the presentation ceremony.

West Indies had a tall order to face in their second innings but they just disappointed again. Kraigg Brathwaite did not last long nor did Shai Hope, Kieran Powell and Kyle Mayers. Roston Chase was the only shining light for the West Indies in the second innings as he scored a fine 62 but that was never going to be enough as they folded for 162, giving South Africa an easy win.

South Africa's first innings was all about Quinton de Kock. Yes, there were contributions from Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen but the way de Kock played was simply superb. He started off slowly and once he realized that he was losing partners, he went berserk and scored a majestic 141 to get a lead of 225 which was a very good lead. He was well supported by Anrich Nortje who stuck around. For West Indies, Jayden Seales impressed with 3 wickets and Jason Holder finished with 4 but they did not ask enough questions of the South African batters.

After opting to bat first, West Indies were blown away for just 97 in their first innings. There was simply nothing from the batters and they simply crumbled against the Proteas' bowling. For South Africa, Anrich Nortje started it all as he blew up the top order with a 4-fer and then Lungi Ngidi cleaned it up with his second 5-fer in Tests and Rabada too did a very good job. That was the game right there.

A comprehensive win for South Africa! They have beaten West Indies by an innings and 63 runs. Dean Elgar's captaincy stint begins with a bang. Brilliant performance from the Proteas and they will be really pleased with the effort. West Indies, on the other hand, will be really disappointed with the performance and they need to make a comeback in the next game. They have been completely dominated in this game.

We are all set to begin Day 3! The South African players make their way out to the middle, followed by Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood. Kagiso Rabada will start with the ball.

Phil Simmons, the West Indies coach, is up for a chat. He says that the preparations were good and they played poorly on the first day. Adds that batsmen got themselves out in the first innings and they cannot blame the pitch. Says that they need to settle down and form big partnerships and they need to start well on Day 3. Says that Jayden Seales has had a great debut and he has a great future.

Mark Boucher, the South African coach, has a chat! He says that de Kock's innings was special. Adds that he left the balls really well and he chose not to attack at the start and the way he played with the tail, showed his character. States that it has been a perfect Test match for them so far and it has gone according to plan for them. Goes onto say that West Indies will fight and they will be prepared.

Pitch report - Stacy-Ann King says that there are indentations on the wicket and it is going to be another day dominated by the bowlers. Mike Haysman says that the batters are never going to feel in.

Day 3 is usually called the moving day but this Test match has moved pretty quickly in favour of South Africa. They first got a lead of 225 courtesy of a fine century from Quinton de Kock. They would have hoped that they can pick up some wickets towards the end of Day 2 and they did just that as they picked up 4 wickets and are on the verge of a crushing victory. On the other hand, West Indies are in deep trouble and only a miracle can save them. They have Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood at the crease and they will hope that they can stitch a big partnership. They are still 143 runs behind though and it won't be easy against a rampaging South African attack. What will happen?

... Day 3, Session 1 ...

West Indies had a poor day, starting with the ball and then with the bat. First, they allowed South Africa to score 322 and get a lead of 225, and then while batting, they lost 4 wickets in quick succession to put themselves on the back foot. Brathwaite got a peach of delivery while Powell and Mayers played a poor shot. Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood played out the rest of the overs but they have a lot of work to do on Day 3. The first aim would be to take the lead but that too seems far-stretch. South Africa, on the other hand, would look to wrap this up as quickly as possible. It looks like this will be Day 3 finish but anything can happen. Join us on Day 3 which starts on 12th June 2021 at 1000 local (1400 GMT). Until then, cheers and take care.

Quinton de Kock is there for a chat. He says that they wanted to just bat time and his plan was to get his team on top. Adds that he was trying to get to a strong position and put the bad balls away. Tells that his celebration was for an initiative that he is doing. Says that it was nice to spend some time in the middle. Says that he has not changed his mindset and he was just doing his job. Tells that he was making sure that he does well for the team. De Kock tells that they have not played many Tests as other teams do. States that he got many 50s but not getting a century was frustrating.

What a day for South Africa! They have absolutely dominated this Test match so far and are on the verge of a crushing victory. Earlier, it was Quinton de Kock who played a wonderful century and then the bowlers did their job of taking some quick wickets. Kagiso Rabada started it all by picking up the two openers before Anrich Nortje continued his wonderful form in this game. Lungi Ngidi bowled well too but he was unlucky to not pick up a wicket so far in the second innings. Overall, a very good day for the visitors.

Commentary

We are back for the second innings of West Indies and the post-Tea session. The South African players make their way out to the middle, followed by Kraigg Brathwaite and Kieron Powell. If you are wondering why Kieron Powell when he is not in the original squad? He has been brought in as a concussion substitute for Nkrumah Bonner who was hit on the helmet in the first innings. Kagiso Rabada will start with the ball.

... Day 2, Session 3 ...

West Indies' bowlers toiled hard with the ball in hand. They gave it their all but it just was not their outing. Jason Holder was the star with a 4-fer but it was Jayden Seales who actually stole the show on Day 1 with 3 wickets but he was unlucky on Day 2. Roach was decent as well while the spinners had no help from the surface and they tried hard but to no reward. Right then, West Indies need to bat really, really well if they want to salvage something of the Test match. South Africa would look to pick up quick wickets and try to take some before Stumps on Day 2. Join us in around 20 minutes for the final session of Day 2.

South Africa did not start off well as they lost Dean Elgar in the first over and then Keegan Petersen soon after. Aiden Markram played a fine knock of 60 before he fell towards the end of Day 1. Rassie van der Dussen looked good but it was the knock of Quinton de Kock that made the difference. He came out, started slowly, and then after losing partners at the other end, he went berserk. De Kock scored 141 runs and many of them came in the partnership between him and Anrich Nortje. He is one of the reasons that South Africa lead by so much.

Quinton de Kock, take a bow! What an unbelievable innings from de Kock! His 141 has helped the Proteas score 322 and they lead by 225 runs. They are well ahead in the game and they will look to start well with the ball. West Indies have a big task in hand as they are way behind and they need to bat very well to have a chance in this game. With the last wicket, it is TEA as well.

Welcome back for the second session of Day 2! The West Indies' players stride out to the middle, followed by Quinton de Kock and Wiaan Mulder. Jason Holder will start with the ball.

... Day 2, Session 2 ...

West Indies started the day poorly as they bowled some loose deliveries and allowed the South African batters to settle. Once Holder was introduced, he put a stop to the free flow of runs and bowled on some tight line and length. His efforts paid off as he dismissed Rassie van der Dussen with a peach of a delivery. Seales and Roach too were decent and troubled Mulder to some extent but no reward. They will be looking to bundle the South African batters out soon and avoid a huge lead onto them. Join us at 12.40 pm local (1640 GMT) for the second session of Day 2.

Another good session for South Africa! They are right on top in this game! South Africa started their day well with de Kock scoring two boundaries in the first over itself. Van der Dussen too looked good and supported de Kock well at the other end. After Holder was introduced into the attack, the South African batters found it tough to score runs off his bowling. Rassie van der Dussen fell but Quinton de Kock is looking in fine touch. Wiaan Mulder struggled at the start but has settled himself in and is looking really good. The visitors would now look to continue churning out the runs and push West Indies out of the game.

We are all set to begin Day 2! The West Indies' players stride out to the middle, followed by Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock. Kemar Roach will start with the ball for the hosts.

Jayden Seales is there for a chat. He says it is an amazing feeling on debut. He adds that they will try to do the basic things like yesterday and try to bowl South Africa out early. He mentions that he has received great encouragement from Sir Curtly Ambrose and it is a special feeling to receive a cap from him.

Pitch report - Mike Haysman is there for the pitch report. He says that it was a tough Day 1 for the batsmen. Adds that there were plenty of play and misses. Stacy-Ann King says that this pitch has been really interesting for the bowlers and there are nice indentations and it is going to offer a lot for the seamers. Tells that there is moisture and the seamers are going to have a good time in the first session.

Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and South Africa. South Africa had a top Day 1 as they bowled out West Indies for 97 in their first innings and despite losing some quick wickets towards the end while batting, they are well on top and would look to score as much as possible. West Indies, on the other hand, are not out of it yet as Jayden Seales starred on debut with the ball and now they would look to wrap up the South African innings as quickly as possible. What will happen? Stay tuned to find out.

... Day 2, Session 1 ...

Right then! That is all we have for you from Day 1. This Test is nicely poised with South Africa being just in front with a lead of 31. Do join us for Day 2 on 11th June 2021, it starts at 1000 local (1400 GMT) but our build-up starts before that. Till then, stay safe and goodbye!

Lungi Ngidi is down for a chat, says that it is not very often that you bowl a team out for 97. Adds that they looked to execute their plans and wanted to be ruthless with their line and lengths after losing the toss. Further adds that it's been a while since he was able to put in a performance like this and he has been working hard behind the scenes. Says the slip cordon works really hard. Tells that it was amazing to take 5 wickets as it has been a while for him since he took one.

Earlier in the day, West Indies were bowled out for 97, which is their lowest score against South Africa in Tests. First, it was Anrich Nortje who rocked their top order with his four wickets and then Lungi Ngidi wrapped things up with his 5-wicket haul. Kagiso Rabada also took a wicket after bowling well in his first spell. For West Indies, none of their batters clicked with Jason Holder being the highest-scorer with 20 runs.

Kemar Roach gave a dream start to West Indies when he picked Dean Elgar in the first over, but after that, it was all about the debutant, Jayden Seales. He took the wicket of Keegan Petersen in his first over and when the Aiden Markram - Rassie van der Dussen stand was getting threatening, he dismissed Markram with a peach of a delivery. Seales went on to dismiss Kyle Verreynne soon after to rock the South African batting. Now, on Day 2, they will look to restrict South Africa to a low score.

The South African innings started in the worst possible manner with Dean Elgar getting out in the first over. Keegan Petersen played a few strokes but got out soon. But then came a good partnership between Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen. They batted with patience and saw their team to safety. Aiden Markram would have wanted to bat till Stumps but he was out towards the fag end of the day and the debutant Kyle Verreynne could not make much of a difference. On Day 2, the priority for them will be to extend the lead as much as possible.

A day of Test cricket that belonged to the bowlers, with 14 wickets falling on the day. South Africa have a lead of 31 runs but West Indies are still in the game. The highest score on Day 1 was 60, it is something that you don't often see in modern-day cricket.

Drinks break! Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen are batting nicely for South Africa and would look to carry on like this till Stumps. The West Indies bowlers are bowling well but are unable to induce the outside edge despite beating the batsman on many occasions. They will look to take a few wickets before Stumps. The pitch isn't the easiest to bat on so these two will have to be sharp to go back at Stumps without any further damage.

We are back for the final session! West Indies fielders stride out to the middle. So do the South African batters. Kemar Roach to start with the ball.

... Day 1, Session 3 ...

Right then! The mantra for both the teams in the final session is simple, South Africa would look to get a solid partnership and West Indies will look to take wickets. But what will the scoreboard say at the end of Day 1? We will find out. The final session coming up at 1500 local( 1900 GMT).

Earlier in the session, South Africa didn't take much time wrapping the West Indies batting. Lungi Ngidi was the man of the hour scalping a fifer. Holder played some good attacking shots towards the end before getting out. He managed to raise his team's score to 97 as other batters failed to deal with the South African pace attack.

The South African batting didn't have the best start as Dean Elgar departed in the first over itself. Though Elgar departed early, Aiden Markram and the debutant, Keegan Petersen have looked good. Markram would consider himself lucky as he got almost carried through to the keeper off Kemar Roach. Other than that, he looks settled at the crease and Petersen too looks good. They will look to stitch a partnership in the last session and mount a huge lead on the Windies.

West Indies started their bowling well as Roach dismissed the South African skipper with a peach of a delivery. West Indies needed an early breakthrough and they got one. After that, they have been bowling consistently well into the right lengths. However, they would still hope to get a few nicks early in the next session as they don't have a respectable total on the board. Their aim would be to not allow the South African batters to settle and get crucial breakthroughs.

Another session that has belonged to South Africa. They did lose Dean Elgar in the first over of their innings but still, they are well on top of this game. West Indies need to take quick wickets to get back in the hunt.

Commentary

We are set to resume! The West Indies fielders have taken the field. So have Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar. Kemar Roach to start with the ball.

.. Innings 2 ...

South African bowlers started really well with Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi beating the outside edge with the new ball on several occasions. Then came on the hero of the first session, Anrich Nortje, he picked up 3 wickets in the first session to rock the Windies' top order. Kagiso Rabada also took a wicket in that session. Post Lunch though, it was all about Lungi Ngidi. The right-arm pacer bowled consistently in the corridor outside off and induced the outside edge to get his wickets. He ended with a 5-wicket haul and will be delighted with the way the series has started for him. Now, it is up to the South African batters to score a big score.

None of the Windies batters crossed the 20- run mark and that should tell you the story. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite had a good start as they survived the new ball for a while but once they fell, West Indies were in all sorts of trouble, none of their batters barring Roston Chase showed any intent to hang in there. There were a lot of poor shots and the wickets of Kyle Mayers and Rahkeem Cornwall were a result of such poor shots. The lack of foot movement also cost them as they edged a lot of balls to the slip cordon. In the end, they managed only 97. Now, it will be up to their bowlers to put on some fight.

Well, well the day so far has been all about the South African bowlers. They have dismissed the hosts for under 100 and now their batters will look to pile a lead. For West Indies, the decision to bat after winning the toss will come under scanner as they haven't even managed to score 100 runs.

40.5W

OUT! TAKEN! Lungi Ngidi has taken 5 wickets in the innings! Jason Holder gets the outside edge as he looks to defend it. The ball goes to the second slip where Aiden Markram dives to his left to take the catch. West Indies end at 97 for 10!

Drinks break! South African bowlers have done well to exploit the conditions. They have managed to keep the Windies batters on the backfoot. Nortje claimed his fourth removing Blackwood soon after lunch. Ngidi entered into the wickets column by removing Raston Chase and Joshua Da Silva in quick succession. He bagged another two in the likes of Cornwall and Roach. South Africa just need a single wicket before they come to bat on.

Rahkeem Cornwall departs after an entertaining knock, he was looking really good in his short stay but he decided to hit this one out of the park. South Africa ruling over West Indies.

We are back for the post Lunch session. The South African fielders take their positions in the field. Out come Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood. Anrich Nortje to resume with the ball.

... Day 1, Session 2 ...

Right then! We are done with the first session on Day 1 and it has belonged to South Africa. Now, West Indies will look to build a partnership after Lunch, but will they be able to do so? Or will South Africa run through the West Indies middle order? We will find out. Do join us in a while for the post Lunch session.

The West Indies had a morning to forget. Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope did the hard work of seeing off Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi in the first spell. They got lucky on a few occasions but still survived. But they were both castled by Anrich Nortje, Hope got a peach of a delivery by Nortje while Brathwaite misjudged an inswinger to lose his wickets. Nkrumah Bonner and Roston Chase hung in there with Chase showing great patience as he took 25 balls to get off the mark. But the class of Rabada was too good for Bonner as he edged one behind to the keeper. Right before Lunch, Kyle Mayers played a nothing shot to lose his wicket to Nortje. Now, it is up to Roston Chase and Jermaine Blackwood to put on a fight post Lunch.

The first session belonged to the South Africans. Rabada and Ngidi started really well with the ball and beat the openers on a number of occasions but couldn't induce the edge. That changed when Nortje came in the attack, the tall right-arm pacer removed the Windies openers in quick succession and put his team on top. Kagiso Rabada finally found the outside edge as he dismissed Nkrumah Bonner and Anrich Nortje removed Kyle Mayers just before Lunch. They will look to pick the remaining West Indies wickets as soon as possible.

A session that thoroughly belonged to South Africa. They have taken 4 wickets and are right on top of the game. For West Indies, the next session will be all about trying to get some partnerships to put on a good score.

OUT! CAUGHT! Oh no, this is a nothing shot by Kyle Mayers! Shorter ball, outside off. Kyle Mayers decides to take Anrich Nortje on and goes for the pull. He only manages to get the toe end of the bat. The ball lobs up in the air and Rassie van der Dussen takes an easy catch at cover.

25.50

Length ball, on off. Kyle Mayers gets the inside edge back on the pads as he looks to defend it.

25.40

NOT OUT! The bounce saves Kyle Mayers! Length ball, lands outside off and nips back in. Kyle Mayers is beaten on the defence and gets hit on the pads. Anrich Nortje puts in a loud appeal and the umpire obliges. Kyle Mayers reviews it at the last moment. There is no bat on that one, but the ball is going over the stumps. Good use of the review.

Kyle Mayers consults with his partner and signals 'T'. Ultra edge confirms that there is no bat involved. The ball tracker shows that the ball was pitching outside off, the impact was in line. The wickets are missing. Good review by Kyle Mayers. The on-field umpire will have to reverse his decision.

25.30

Shorter ball, on off. Mayers looks to pull it away but gets hit on the body.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Kagiso Rabada finally gets his reward. He has been consistently bowling length deliveries outside off but didn't get the results. He pitches this one on a good length, seaming away a bit. Nkrumah Bonner has no answer to that one. He looks to defend but fails to do it well. The ball finds the outside edge this time and carries through to Quinton de Kock. He makes no mistake holding on to that one. Kagiso Rabada strikes. Nkrumah Bonner will head back to the pavilion. West Indies in deep trouble now.

Hello and welcome to the first Test between West Indies and South Africa. Both the teams have somewhat new leadership. While Kraigg Brathwaite has led West Indies before, Dean Elgar will lead his side for the first time as a captain. We are likely to see plenty of new faces in this game and it will be interesting to see how they fare.

Stay tuned for toss and more updates.
