South Africa have maintained a stronghold over the West Indies throughout the first Test in Port of Spain. At the close of Day 4, the visitors have solidified their position, leading by 154 runs without losing a wicket in their second innings, setting the stage ??for a potentially decisive final day.

South Africa’s aggressive approach

After securing a crucial 125-run lead in the first innings, South Africa’s openers approached their second innings with a clear intent to dominate. Aiden Markram and Tony de Zorzi added 30 runs in just five overs before the end of the day, signaling their intent to extend the lead rapidly. Markram, in particular, was in sublime touch, playing some exquisite cover drives off Kemar Roach, demonstrating the team’s aggressive mindset as they aim to put the game beyond the West Indies’ reach.

Bowling masterclass from Keshav Maharaj and Kagiso Rabada

Day 4 was significantly shortened by rain, with the first two sessions completely washed out. However, South Africa’s bowlers made the most of the limited play, bowling out the West Indies for 233. Keshav Maharaj was the star with the ball, delivering a masterful spell of spin bowling, finishing with figures of 40-15-76-4. Kagiso Rabada provided the perfect pace complement, chipping in with three crucial wickets. The West Indies batters struggled to convert their starts, with most getting int?o t??he 20s and 30s but failing to go on to make substantial contributions.

Jomel Warrican’s resistance delays the inevitable

The West Indies’ lower order showed some fight, led by Jomel Warrican, who played a gutsy innings of 35 off 32 balls. Warrican’s quick runs, along with some resilient partnerships with Roach and Jayden Seales, added vital runs to the West Indies’ total. Warrican’s aggressive approach helped reduce the deficit, but the hosts still ended up conceding a substantial first-innings lead. The final wicket fell when Lungi Ngidi cleaned up Seales, bringing an end to the West Indies’ innings and putting South Africa in a commanding position.

South Africa eyes a dominant finish

As the final day approaches, South Africa’s openers are well set to pile on more runs and extend their lead, with Markram and de Zorzi both looking confident at the crease. The dropped catch by Kavem Hodge in the final over of the day added to the West Indies’ woes, encapsulating their frustrations. South Africa will aim to bat the hosts out of the game and push for a comprehensive victory on Day 5, while the West Indies will need to summon all their resolve to avoid defeat.

Spinner Keshav Maharaj delivered a superb bowling performance on the rain-affected Day 3 of the first Test between West Indies and South Africa, helping his team maintain control of the match. Despite the interruptions caused by the weather in Port of Spain, Maharaj’s disciplined spell of 3/45 in 28 overs stifled the West Indian batters.

West Indies struggle against Keshav Maharaj’s spin

At stumps on Day 3, West Indies were 145/4, trailing South Africa’s first innings total of 357 by 212 runs. Maharaj’s three wickets and the run-out of captain Kraigg Brathwaite put the visitors in a strong position. The slow, dry pitch made scoring difficult for the West Indian batters, who found Maharaj’s accuracy and turn challenging to handle.

Openers Mikyle Louis and Brathwaite provided a solid start, putting on 53 runs before Wiaan Mulder ran out Louis. Maharaj first dismissed Brathwaite for 35 and then had Keacy Carty LBW for 42.

Alick Athanaze, who scored just 3 runs, was caught in the first slip by Aiden Markram, further denting West Indies’ hopes.

South Africa add 13 runs to overnight score

Earlier in the day, South Africa added just 13 runs to their overnight score of 344/8. Kagiso Rabada was dismissed by Jomel Warrican for 21, while Lungi Ngidi was bowled by Jayden Seales for a duck. Warrican finished with figures of 4/69, while ??Seales took 3/67.

Despite the rain interruptions, South Africa maintained their grip on the match, thanks to Maharaj’s disciplined bowling. With more rain forecast for the coming days, the chances of a result seem slim, but South Africa will be confident of securing a first-innings lead.

As the match progresses, the West Indies will need to find a way to counter Maharaj’s threat and build a substantial first-innings total to stay in the game. The South African bowlers, led by Maharaj, have shown their ability to exploit the conditions and put pressure on the opposition batters.

Keacy Carty produced an extraordinary moment of brilliance on Day 2 of the first Test between West Indies and South Africa at Queen’s Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad. In a remarkable display of athleticism, Carty took a stunning diving catch to dismiss David Bedingham, providing his teammate Jayden Seales with his maiden home Test wicket.

Keacy Carty’s spectacular catch

The memorable mome??nt took place on the fourth ball of the 64th over when Seales delivered a shortish ball at 127 km/h, rising to rib height around the off-stump. Bedingham attempted an old-school pull shot, lifting his front leg but failing to find the gap. Positioned at deep forward square leg, Carty was a few meters in from the boundary.

Reacting swiftly, he dove forward, cupping his wrists just above the grass, and managed to scoop the ball inches from the ground. Despite a third-umpire review due to a blurry zoomed image, Carty’s fingers were determined to be underneath the ball, securing the catch as he tumbled chest-first into the ground. The third umpire was satisfied, and Bedingham, already halfway back to the pavilion, was confirmed out, marking Seales’ first Test wicket at home.

Following a rain-affected first day, South Africa resumed their innings at 45/1 on Day 2, determined to make up for lost time. Tony de Zorzi quickly reached his half-century before being dismissed for a well-crafted 76. Tristan Stubbs and Bedingham provided useful contributions but fell to sharp West Indies bowling, leaving South Africa to rebuild. Temba Bavuma, the South African captain, anchored the innings with a gritty 86, continuing his struggle to convert fifties into centuries. His partnership with Ryan Rickleton added 57 runs before Rickleton was trapped leg-before by Kemar Roach.

Jomel Warrican shines for the West Indies

In the final session, Jomel Warrican led a strong fightback for the West Indies, taking two quick wickets, including a crucial breakthrough by dismissing Kyle Verreynne for 39. Wiaan Mulder, unbeaten on 37, and Kagiso Rabada, on? 12, guided South Africa to 344/8 at stumps. Warrican emerged as the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/66 on a pitch not too helpful for the bowlers. As Day 3 approaches, South Africa will look to add crucial runs, while the West Indies will aim to finish the innings swiftly and take control of the match.

South Africa’s challenging start against West Indies

South Africa’s innings faced early challenges as they battled against the West Indian bowlers. With Roach and Seales testing the batters with their skillful pace, the South African openers were put under pressure as the pitch proved to be difficult to bat on. Roach’s disciplined spell beat Markram on multiple occasions, and although Markram managed to score a boundary, he struggled against the relentless bowling. Tony de Zorzi, on the other hand, looked more at ease, finding gaps and scoring boundaries. His partnership with Markram was cut short ??by Holder’s breakthrough.

Weather disruptions on Day 1 in Trinidad

The first day of the T?est match between South Africa and the West Indies was significantly affected by Trinidad’s unpredictable weather. Only 15 overs were bowled before rain halted play, with South Africa at 45/1. The rain eventually led to an early stumps call, cutting short what had been a challenging day for the visitors.

Despite the limited play, the day ?highlighted the difficulties of the pitch and the quality of the West Indies bowlers. With stumps being called early due to persistent rain, the match will resume with South Africa hoping to build on their start while West Indies will be buoyed by their early success and the prospect of continued pressure on the visitors.
