South Africa vs. West Indies, 3rd Test, Day 4: Highlights, Scorecard and Report

Lee WalkerJan 5, 2015

South Africa need 124 to win the third Test after the West Indies imploded on a rain-affected fourth day in Cape Town.

The men from the Caribbean lost seven wickets for 33 runs in 15 overs as they were bowled out for 215 in their second innings.

Rain delayed the start of play until 3pm, but four wickets from Simon Harmer and three from Dale Steyn gives the Proteas an outstanding chance of winning the series 2-0 on Tuesday, although they finished the day on 9-1 after Sulieman Benn bowled Alviro Petersen for a duck.

Resuming on 88-2, eight runs behind, WI suffered a blow in the third over as Leon Johnson nicked Morne Morkel to slip after adding seven to his overnight 37.

Marlon Samuels brought up his 21st Test fifty from 107 balls and shared a 94-run partnership with Shivnarine Chanderpaul before departing for 74.

He attempted to hit debutant off-spinner Simon Harmer over the top but was caught by Dean Elgar at mid-on, and that triggered the collapse.

Steyn picked up wickets with consecutive deliveries. He removed the middle stump of Justin Blackwood (13) and then had Dinesh Ramdin caught by Stiaan van Zyl, in front of square leg, for a duck.

The WI tail then gifted Harmer two further wickets with some braindead batting. Jason Holder picked out short mid-wicket for two and Jerome Taylor went second ball as he slogged out to Elgar at deep mid-wicket.

Chanderpaul had brought up his 66th Test half-century by that point, but the stalwart could only look on bemused as Benn edged Steyn behind for a duck before he ran himself out for 50.

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