Vernon Philander was the chief tormenter as he picked up 4-29 with Morne Morkel claiming 3-55.

Seamer Philander broke a 72-run opening partnership between Devon Smith (35) and Kraigg Brathwaite (34), removing the openers in consecutive overs.

He then picked up the key wicket of Shivnarine Chanderpaul (21) before Jermaine Blackwood (12) departed, both edging full deliveries to Alviro Petersen at second slip.

The tail failed to waggle with the last six wickets falling for just 39 runs and Kemar Roach unable to bat after picking up an ankle injury.

It took just four overs of West Indies’ second innings before Philander struck again, removing Smith (5), caught at point, for the second time in a day.

Brathwaite then again failed to convert a start when Petersen snared a third catch at second slip, off Morkel's bowling, after pushing hard at a full length delivery having made 20.

The match is the first in a three-Test series with encounters in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town to follow.
