    Published on

    South Africa were bowled out on the second morning of the first Test against the West Indies in Centurion.

    The Proteas added 28 runs to their overnight total to make 342 in 86.3 overs.

    Armed with the second new ball, Alzarri Joseph took both remaining wickets to finish with 5-81, his first five-wicket haul in Tests.

    The West Indies then lost both their opening batsmen before lunch to go into the interval on 71-2.

    Captain Kraigg Brathwaite was bowled by a superb delivery from Kagiso Rabada for 11, with the ball deviating just enough off the pitch to hit the top of the off stump.

    Tagenarine Chanderpaul became Gerald Coetzee’s first Test victim when he was caught by a diving Senuran Muthusamy at gully for 22.

    In the previous over, the South Africans thought they had dismissed Chanderpaul for 19 only for replays to show a sharp chance to Tony de Zorzi at short leg off Anrich Nortje had bounced shortly before it was caught.
