A commendable comeback by West Indies this has been. The South African openers got them off to a fantastic start in the first session. Elgar was dismissed in the post-lunch session, but Markram continued to march on and notched up a superb century. He along with Tony de Zorzi had another fine partnership for the second wicket, but once Tony was run-out, it led to a procession of wickets. West Indies kept striking at regular intervals therafter as South Africa slipped to 300/8 from 221/1. Alzarri Joseph was the pick of the lot with 3 wickets and the other West Indian bowlers chipped in with handy bowling spells to help the visitors make a strong comeback, like I mentioned before. They'll be looking forward to finishing off the tail as soon as they can tomorrow.
