2.45pm South Africa finish their innings at 322, with a lead of 225, and with that, it's tea as well. de Kock led the charge today with a brilliant 141 not out off just 170 balls. It included 12 fours and seven sixes. Sampath tells me that's the joint-most sixes by a South Africa batter in an innings. For West Indies, Seales impressed on debut, picking up three wickets, all yesterday, while Holder finished with a four-for. But can the West Indies batter put up an improved performance this time around? We will be back in a bit to find out.

Holder to Ngidi, OUT, fuller ball in the channel. Ngidi pushes at it and gets an outside edge. A simple catch for Da Silva behind the stumps as South Africa's innings comes to an end

The tea has been delayed as South Africa are nine down. Ngidi to face now. Slip, leg slip, short leg and silly point

Holder to Nortje, OUT, this one kicks off a length and puts Nortje in an awkward position. He ends up fending at it, and the ball lobs towards gully where Hope dives forward to complete the catch. Finally, West Indies manage to break the stand

Holder to Nortje, no run, tucked away behind square leg

Nicholas Murray: "This is where Holders leadership is missing, that second New ball would have had to wait since the old one was doing a bit."

Holder to de Kock, 1 run, a full toss at the stumps and de Kock pushes it gently towards long-on. Takes the single

Looks like someone from outside the bubble touched the ball and it's being sanitised

Holder to de Kock, SIX, short, not the bouncer but hit-me-for-a-six short and de Kock obliges. Pulls it over deep square leg for his sixth six of the innings. Moves to 130, his highest score in Test cricket
