5.45pm So, Temba Bavuma collects the trophy and poses with his team as they celebrate the series win. It's been exciting, but now the two teams will shift focus to the shortest format as they face off in a three-match T20I series after this. It's been a pleasure calling this game. On behalf of Sudarshanan, Thilak Ram, Venkat Raghav and Firdose Moonda, this is Abhimanyu signing off.

5.40pm Time for the presentation ceremony.

South Africa captain Temba Bavuma: "The emotions were a little bit up and down. It was a proper game of Test cricket. I think both teams were in the game. At no point was the game over. We had to keep working hard. I think with a bit of experience you try to read the situation. You expect senior bowlers with experience to assess the situations and adjust well. We just need to keep improving as a team. We are still trying to find our true way about how we want to go about things. The more the guys play the more experience and confidence we get and we can do better against more formidable sides."

Player of the series, Keshav Maharaj: "I just want to play, to be honest. I haven't played a Test in quite some time. I just wanted the opportunity to play continuously. Pretty happy to get a chance. I tried to play as much cricket as I can. I played in England. Tried to keep getting better and understanding what the team wanted from me. [On bowling on this surface] To be honest I tried to bowl as many wobble seam balls as I can because of the kind of pitch. I still managed to swing it even though I was bowling wobble seam mostly."

Wiaan Mulder is the POTM: "It was nice to get a long bowl after a long time. Obviously there's a lot of positives but we have to get back to the drawing board and get ready for the next one. My focus is on Test cricket so I'm always making sure I stay ready, making sure I can execute my skills on the day. [On Bavuma] Played a lot of cricket under him, I feel he understands me well."

West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite: "I think our first innings total was bad. To bowl them out for 160 was well done on the first day. [On chasing 263] To be honest approach was similar to the first Test. To have intent. Obviously it didn't all go our way but we saw some fight from Motie. [On the top order] In the first innings we played some rash shots. That first innings was crucial. The bowlers did a fantastic job after we lost the toss but batters did not dod a good enough job. They fought back well despite their first innings total not being enough. [On WI's pace attack] I know Jayden Seales he's a star and Shamar Joseph is superb. It's very exciting."

5.25pm After three days of thrilling cricket, South Africa win the match at Providence and the series. West Indies had flashes of brilliance, but South Africa were better more consistently and it reflects in the result. Rabada left one short of 300 Test wickets, picking up four in this match. Maharaj meanwhile becomes South Africa's leading Test spinner in terms of wickets. Piedt's fighting 10th-wicket partnership with Burger, Mulder's four-for, Markram and Verreynne's fifties and a comprehensive team bowling effort in the fourth innings all add up for South Africa. Stay with us for the presentation!

Maharaj to Seales, OUT, And South Africa win! Full ball spins in from outside off and Seales can only clip it to the FSL fielder. Maharaj is South Africa's most prolific Test spinner with that wicket, and South Africa have their tenth series win in a row against West Indies!
