11:22am West Indies need 262 to win! And that is a challenging task. But what they did right this morning was to pick the remaining five South African wickets pretty quickly. They picked up the last five wicket for just 22 runs to restrict South Africa. Star of the West Indies bowlers was Seales with his six-for.
Here's Jayden Seales: "Special feeling to take my second five-wicket haul in Tests. Long time coming after injury, feels good. Had a chat with analyst and Kemar Roach, he said just hit the pitch. [Bowling partnership with Shamar Joseph] We are two different types of bowlers. He is very attacking, and I hate to go for runs. It was about trusting the process. Wanted to play Test cricket and be at the top level. Kept pushing for this. [Confident about the chase?] We have a lot of time and believe in the boys."
The story of this South African batting performance? Well, two steady knocks with batting collapses on either side of them. Markram and Verreynne hit fifties alright. But in one phase yesterday, they lost 4 for 19. And then today they have lost 5 for 22 to set West Indies 263. Will that be enough for South Africa's potent bowling attack to defend? Find out soon with Abhimanyu

South Africa have lost 4 for 22 this morning, and West Indies have opted for the second new ball straight away. Seales to make first use of it
Vinod Rajpal: "Hey Sudarshanan, what score do you think would be fair enough for both the teams looking to Win this Test match ?" Purely going by West Indies' recent batting form, I think they are already in touch and go territory

Vipul: "Why everyone started talking about run chase? SA are still batting, did we forget what happened in first innings ?"
