The Proteas resumed on 227-3 and lost captain Hashim Amla, who had only added eight to his overnight 55, when he edged Jason Holder to Denesh Ramdin behind the stumps.

Temba Bavuma (15) missed out again as he played on to Shannon Gabriel to leave South Africa 313-5 at lunch.

De Villiers brought up his 21st Test century in the afternoon, off 144 balls with 11 boundaries, but he watched Stiaan van Zyl and Vernon Philander depart in consecutive overs.

Van Zyl had made 33 when he was trapped leg before by Marlon Samuels before Philander was run out for a duck, beaten at the bowler's end by Holder's throw from mid-wicket.

Two more wickets fell in the space of six balls with debutant Simon Harmer incorrectly adjudged lbw for 10 off Jerome Taylor before Dale Steyn was run out, without scoring, as a direct hit from Leon Johnson at cover left him stranded.

The innings was wrapped up on the brink of tea as De Villiers, with just Morne Morkel for company, was caught at long-on off Marlon Samuels after nearly five-and-a-half hours at the crease.

The tourists lost both openers before the close with Devon Smith (seven) gloving Morkel through to De Villiers, who grabbed a low catch to his right behind the stumps, and Kraigg Brathwaite (16) seeing his off-stump pegged back by off-spinner Harmer.

Johnson (37) and Samuels (26) saw West Indies through to stumps without further loss.

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