WI tour of South Africa

[rich1uk]

bavuma is first ever black south African specialist batsman in tests I think , coming in at #7 so a long batting lineup with abdv taking the gloves again

[rich1uk]

not looking a good decision to bowl first atm

wonder if the decision was as much based on team selection and going in with 5 specialist bowlers

[rich1uk]

not really the sort of shot to be playing when your position is under threat

Petersen gone for 17

Gabriel strikes...Alviro out.

Ramdin's decision to bowl first in the first Test didn't work either....

[meninblue]

One down. Spin introduced to the bowing attack. Benn is not at all trying to flight much.

[mikesiva]

Lunch 68-1

Elgar 35*

FAF 6*

[Aidan11]

Already looks like this test is going the way of the previous one.

[Making_Splinters]

Must be Petersen's last series.

[Aidan11]

SA's day again.

[mikesiva]

Peters with his first wicket in test cricket but duplessis is already making Samuels pay for dropping him on eight....

[meninblue]

Match to start in 15 minutes. Delayed due to wet out field. Can WI bowlers get some advantage from this in early session.

[rich1uk]

eventful 3 minutes for du Plessis this morning

goes out to bat , gets his hundred with a boundary first ball and is out second ball

[mikesiva]

FAF gets his century, and then gets out to Taylor.

[Aidan11]

Strange start to the day but it's still no major benefit to WIs who are still having to work hard this morning.

[Aidan11]

The rain might yet save them.
