Temba Bavuma dragging Proteas out of trouble at the Wanderers: Skipper Temba Bavuma will have to continue his salvaging mission after the lunch break as he tries to steady the Proteas ship following the loss of four second innings wickets on Friday…
Bavuma weathered a furious charge by the West Indies going to lunch on 35 not out, helping his side to recover from 32/2 to reach the break on 69/4 and extending the Proteas lead to 138 runs.The loss of Ryan Rickelton on the stroke of the interval turned the session decisively the tourists way, with the left-hander wafting at a wideish delivery from part-timer Raymon Reifer after scoring only 10.
But Kemar Roach then produced a peach, finding the right length to bring Markram, who scored 18, forward and getting the ball to nip away off the seam, finding the edge, with wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva doing the rest.Bavuma, who registered “a pair” in the first Test and shouldered arms in the first innings to be trapped lbw, gradually grew into his innings, taking advantage when the West Indies strayed too straight with their lines.
