05 Jan 2015

FILL IN THE GAP

SA will win this Test by ... wickets?

Guesses on a postcard OR via email to mysport@sport24.co.za

05 Jan 2015

OVER BY LUNCH?

Or maybe just afterwards on Day 5

Weather promises to be perfect. If you're in the area, be sure to head on down to Newlands and watch the action unfold

05 Jan 2015

STATE OF THE NATION

SA 9/1

Need another 115 runs to win the third and final Test and clinch the three-Test series 2-0

05 Jan 2015

STUMPS

And with that the umpires call time on Day 4

05 Jan 2015

OMG!

Alviro Petersen GONE for a duck off 7 balls

05 Jan 2015

WICKET!

05 Jan 2015

THIRD DIFFERENT BOWLER

It's now Sulieman Benn to bowl what will be the final over of the day

05 Jan 2015

OVER 2 - 9/0

05 Jan 2015

SAMUELS TO BOWL...

Taking a hat-trick is the least he can do to repay his team!

05 Jan 2015

OVER 1 - 5/0

05 Jan 2015

HORROR SHOW CONTINUES!

Taylor's first ball is so wide, first slip gets out the way, the 'keeper misses it and it's down to the boundary for 4!

05 Jan 2015

SA OPENERS IN THE MIDDLE

Alviro Petersen and Dean Elgar to face maybe 3 overs tonight

05 Jan 2015

AND HERE WE GO!

05 Jan 2015

10 MINUTES TO BAT

SA will face about 10 minutes of batting tonight - or 3 overs or so

05 Jan 2015

TARGET 124

South Africa require 124 runs to win the third and final Test and take the three-match seris 2-0

05 Jan 2015

7/33

The West Indies lose their final 7 wickets for a paltry 33 runs

05 Jan 2015

OUT OF THEIR MISERY

Chanderpaul out for 50 off 113 balls

05 Jan 2015

THAT SUMS IT UP

Absolutely pathetic batting from the final West Indies pair

They attempt a quick single for no apparent reason - and Chanderpaul doesn't bother diving and is run out thanks to a direct hit by Temba Bavuma

05 Jan 2015

ALL OUT!

05 Jan 2015

BLAME SAMUELS

After Samuels' dismissal, the West Indies have lost 31/6

05 Jan 2015

SEARCHING FOR FIFER

Harmer needs the final wicket to complete a fifer - and a dream debut

05 Jan 2015

OVER TO YOU SHIV

Chanderpaul will be wanting to keep the strike

#mostobviousstatementoftheyear

05 Jan 2015

LAST MAN IN

It's Shannon Gabriel - with a best score of 13

I give him 3 deliveries...

05 Jan 2015

LEAD 121

That's all the West Indies can boast as a lead

Shouldn't be too tricky for the SA batsmen in the morning

05 Jan 2015

BOOM!

And just like that Benn edges Steyn to 'keeper De Villiers

Out for another West Indian duck off 4 balls

05 Jan 2015

WICKET!

05 Jan 2015

NEW BATSMEN

Lanky spinner Sulieman Benn

Mark my words he WON'T be out in the middle for long!

05 Jan 2015

7 FOR HARMER

Only 2 wickets left so he won't get his 10-fer on debt sadly

05 Jan 2015

HORROR SHOW

Windies throwing away all their hard work in the Test

Showing clearly why they are the eighth-best (out of 10) countries in the latest ICC Test rankings

Has a nation ever fallen from greater grace than the once-proud West Indies?

Answer: No sir!

05 Jan 2015

WINDIES IMPLODING

That's 4 sticks now for Harmer as Taylor goes airborne with little success

Caught by Elgar at deep mid-wicket for a duck off 2 balls

05 Jan 2015

WICKET!

05 Jan 2015

NEW BATSMAN

In walks Jerome Taylor

He'd have hoped he wouldn't have needed to bat tonight!

05 Jan 2015

WINDIES IN ALL SORTS OF TROUBLE

7 wickets down and an overall lead of 121 runs

What they would do for another 100 runs - or Samuels to not have lost his head

05 Jan 2015

7 DOWN

Amla takes the catch off Harmer

Holder departs for 2 off 16 balls

05 Jan 2015

HOLDER GOES

05 Jan 2015

WICKET!

05 Jan 2015

DID YOU KNOW?

Only India's Sachin Tendulkar has more Test half-centuries - 68

05 Jan 2015

50 FOR CHANDERPAUL

Well played indeed

Hasn't been in the best form in SA, but brings up his 66th Test half-century off 109 balls

05 Jan 2015

OVERS 75

West Indies 209/6

Overall lead of 117 runs

Chanderpaul 47* (107)

Holder 1* (8)

12 overs remain in the day
