5.35pm So, South Africa have set West Indies a target of 324 with two-and-a-bit days to go. At one stage, it looked like West Indies could restrict them to a lead of 200 or so but Rabada's counterattack and van der Dussen's anchoring knock kept pushing South Africa ahead. We will be back with the chase in a bit. Stay tuned

Brathwaite to van der Dussen, no run, fuller down the leg side. Rassie leaves the alone. Da Silva makes a partial stop with his pads

Rassie looked towards Elgar after the over ended and the captain gave thumbs ups, which seems to mean South Africa would continue for a bit. Here's Brathwaite. Around the wicket
