West Indies won the toss and elected to bat but were reduced to 80-2 at lunch.

Kraigg Brathwaite was caught at gully off Dale Steyn after making just seven before fellow opener Devon Smith fell to the last ball before the adjournment as 25-year-old off-spinner Harmer pegged back his off-stump.

Leon Johnson brought up his second Test half-century but was trapped lbw by Harmer for 54 midway through the afternoon, before Marlon Samuels threw away his wicket on 43.

Samuels slapped part-time medium pacer Stiaan van Zyl to cover, and his first Test wicket meant the men from the Caribbean were 172-4 at tea.

Key man Shivnarine Chanderpaul departed to the first ball of the evening session, stumped off Harmer after making only nine, but Dinesh Ramdin and Justin Blackwood put on 94 for the sixth wicket.

Ramdin departed just before the close, lobbing a return catch to Steyn after making 53, but the recalled Blackwood remains 45 not out.

The Proteas lead the series 1-0 after an innings victory at Centurion.
