  • Anrich Nortje16-5-36-5

Pritam: "Jasprit Bumrah probably." Oh no. He is well clear of Gabriel with a batting average of 7.31.

4.46pm Nortje leads the South African team off the pitch after a brilliant bowling display. The way South Africa's pacers turned it on after tea, they will be mighty pleased. Jansen got the big breakthrough, dismissing the defiant Reifer for 62 before Rabada squared Chase up with a jaffa. Nortje then picked up four in a row as West Indies crumbled from 169-3 to 179-7 to 190-8 and finally 212 all out. Markram, who scored a brilliant century just yesterday, will have to come out again and look to strengthen South Africa's grip on this game.

Coetzee to Gabriel, OUT, Struck in front, and the umpire has given it! Gabriel reviews it. That was on a length around off, and seamed in sharply and stayed low. Gabriel was beaten as he looked to clip it leg-side. Is this going down leg? It's umpire's call on wickets and Coetzee has his second Test wicket. West Indies have been knocked over for 212, and South Africa have a 130-run first-innings lead
