Kagiso Rabada claimed three late wickets and Keshav Maharaj completed a four-wicket haul to help dismiss the West Indies for 233 before South Africa reached 30-0 when play finally began after tea on the fourth day of the first test between South Africa and the West Indies at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain, Trinidad, on Saturday after persistent rain.
Rabada had Kavem Hodge caught at slip by David Bedingham after Aiden Markram bowled Jason Holder with a perfect off-spinner and Rabada trapped Kemar Roach lbw after snaring Gudakesh Motie lbw for a duck.Opener De Zorzi galloped to 14* from 16 balls while Aiden Markram reached 9* as the tourists attempted to keep the pressure on the home side with just a day remaining and further inclement weather forecast.
A slow and unresponsive pitch has so far offered all of the bowlers little assistance and the tourists’ scoring rate of three runs per over was a reflection of the little pace there was for the batsmen to work with."Hopefully we can get a full day because that will obviously give us a realistic chance of getting a result," said South Africa captain Bavuma after his team made the most of the limited playing time on day four.
"To use the old cliche, we will have to take care of the first hour to set it up and if it’s going our way then we can throw caution to the wind to see what happens.
