A session that thoroughly belonged to South Africa. They have taken 4 wickets and are right on top of the game. For West Indies, the next session will be all about trying to get some partnerships to put on a good score.
The first session belonged to the South Africans. Rabada and Ngidi started really well with the ball and beat the openers on a number of occasions but couldn't induce the edge. That changed when Nortje came in the attack, the tall right-arm pacer removed the Windies openers in quick succession and put his team on top. Kagiso Rabada finally found the outside edge as he dismissed Nkrumah Bonner and Anrich Nortje removed Kyle Mayers just before Lunch. They will look to pick the remaining West In
The West Indies had a morning to forget. Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope did the hard work of seeing off Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi in the first spell. They got lucky on a few occasions but still survived. But they were both castled by Anrich Nortje, Hope got a peach of a delivery by Nortje while Brathwaite misjudged an inswinger to lose his wickets. Nkrumah Bonner and Roston Chase hung in there with Chase showing great patience as he took 25 balls to get off the mark. But the class of
Right then! We are done with the first session on Day 1 and it has belonged to South Africa. Now, West Indies will look to build a partnership after Lunch, but will they be able to do so?

Anrich Nortje to Jermaine Blackwood, OUT! TAKEN! Another poor shot and another wicket for Anrich Nortje! Short of a length, on the sixth stump line.

He did not time his shot well and the ball went up in the air towards the third man region. Aiden Markram, who is standing the slip cordon, calls for it and takes an excellent catch. It is always difficult to run backward and to take a catch. Markram made it look like a piece of cake. Rahkeem Cornwall departs after an entertaining kno

Well, well the day so far has been all about the South African bowlers. They have dismissed the hosts for under 100 and now their batters will look to pile a lead. For West Indies, the decision to bat after winning the toss will come under scanner as they haven't even managed to score 100 runs.
 None of the Windies batters crossed the 20- run mark and that should tell you the story. Shai Hope and Kraigg Brathwaite had a good start as they survived the new ball for a while but once they fell, West Indies were in all sorts of trouble, none of their batters barring Roston Chase showed any intent to hang in there. There were a lot of poor shots and the wickets of Kyle Mayers and Rahkeem Cornwall were a result of such poor shots. The lack of foot movement also cost them as a lot o
South African bowlers started really well with Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi beating the outside edge with the new ball on several occasions. Then came on the hero of the first session, Anrich Nortje, he picked up 3 wickets in the first session to rock the Windies top order. Kagiso Rabada also took a wicket in that session. Post Lunch though, it was all about Lungi Ngidi. The right-arm pacer bowled consistently in the corridor outside off and induced the outside edge to get his wickets. He e
