Triple strike lifts West Indies

block

AFP, Centurion :
The West Indies claimed three wickets without conceding a run after ending a bright opening stand by South Africa on the first day of the first Test at SuperSport Park on Wednesday.
South Africa were 102 for three at lunch after being sent in to bat in heavily overcast conditions.
Rain delayed play by half an hour but wayward bowling enabled South Africa to get off to a fast start.
Alviro Petersen hit the first two balls by Jerome Taylor for four as the fast bowler strayed down the leg side. Petersen and Dean Elgar put on 57 for the first wicket before Petersen was caught at first slip by Devon Smith off Kemar Roach for 27.
