• Last-wicket partnership frustrates Proteas

    Published on

    Jason Holder hit an undefeated half-century as the West Indies were bowled out for 144 to trail South Africa by just 16 runs on the second day of the second Test.

    Holder made 54* with six fours and one six and shared a key last-wicket partnership of 40 with Shamar Joseph (25).

    The West Indies resumed on their overnight score of 97-7 in reply to the Proteas’ 160 all out in their first innings after an opening day which saw 17 wickets fall.

    Medium pacer Wiann Mulder took 4-32 for South Africa with fast bowler Nandre Burger claiming 3-49.

    The first Test of the two-game series ended in a rain-affected draw in Trinidad.
