00:00In the air, and South Africa, and Rabada, finally, have their first wicket on day two.
00:24And reward, eventually, for all of his hard work and his persistence.
00:30Chipton and Keshav Maharaj makes no mistake.
00:39Given the short ball, then the full one, but seals review straight away.
00:43Asan on field to stay with his original decision of out.
00:56Asan, you're on screen now, please signal.
01:14All the way for six.
01:19And a very well compiled half century, an audacious way to bring it up is 14.
01:31After two times of trying, he nails that one for four.
01:37The lead now 42.
01:44Kahisa Rabada, who played a critical innings at the back end in Trinidad, has to retrieve that one.
01:50Back to back boundaries.
01:52The lead now 38.
01:59That is audacious.
02:02It really is.
02:05Down the ground for six.
02:07128 for nine.
02:13Listen, some of these shots, and we've talked about it, some of these shots are reminiscent of more skillful batters.
02:27More runs, and very useful runs for the West Indies.
02:30Something about these last wicket partnerships.
02:33Another boundary.
02:37In many ways, he's forcing the bowler to bowl into his strengths.
02:44Yeah!
02:46More given in the end.
02:48It came so late, that finger is reviewed.
02:51But Maharas, the slower option has worked.
02:55We think.
03:00Pitching in line, impact in line.
03:04Wickets is umpire's call.
03:07Go back to Sycat on field to stay with his original decision of out.
03:11You're on screen now, Sycat, please signal.
03:16Top shot.
03:17Really nicely played, and an excellent way to get off the mark, and get South Africa off the mark.
03:22Four for nine after one.
03:27This is so lovely from Mark Crum, and it's a shot he loves to extra cover.
03:35This is the energy from Holder, I get a feeling he's trying to feel his way into the spell.
03:42Beautifully driven through that cover point region, so it marked him quite clear in his approach.
03:55Pulled fiercely in front of square.
04:00He was waiting for it, Tony De Zorzi, and the execution on this occasion was perfect.
04:06And time call.
04:08So lunch to be taken, South Africa on blemish in their second innings with the bat in this test match.
04:17They closed this first session on day two, on 30 without loss, with a lead of 46 runs.
04:30Goes for the drive, didn't get good connection.
04:33Thick outside edge, but it goes into the gap through that deep third region.
04:43Nicely driven in the gap.
04:46Full commitment from Mark Crum with that full pitch delivery, and he gets four.
04:51And he gets four.
04:57Runs flowing at the moment, a little too straight to start from Shemar Joseph.
05:06Three slips in place still.
05:10And he's punched through that cover point region, fine stroke from Tony De Zorzi.
05:16And this is what South Africa has done very well during their innings.
05:24Edge.
05:26There again.
05:30Just wide of that second slip.
05:33Holder.
05:35Frustrated.
05:39Put down.
05:41Put down.
05:43Once more, the straightening from round the wicket.
05:48Creating another opportunity for a wicket.
05:52And De Silva floors it.
05:57Pretty good, pretty good, pretty good.
06:00And that's the build up to a wicket that we're talking about.
06:04Seven runs from the last seven overs.
06:08And Jayden Seals has dismissed him two times in succession in this Test match.
06:15Just a tickle through to the wicket keeper.
06:18The persistence pays off for Seals.
06:26He's badly missed his length, and they've released pressure.
06:29First boundary in 78 deliveries.
06:32It's been relatively good today, Marti.
06:38We've seen Tristan Stubbs implement that shot quite a lot in the second innings at the Queen's Park Oval.
06:50In the air.
06:53And through him.
06:54In the air.
06:56And through him.
06:59Infielder who was at Silly Middow and Silly Middow have previously put there for this type of stroke.
07:11Duly negotiated by Tristan Stubbs, and it will remain at all the ones.
07:181-1-1 for one.
07:21Confirmation of how things have gone so far today.
07:24Full session, three wickets. Second session, 27 overs, one for 81.
07:32It's been heavy workload for Jason Holder.
07:36Batting and getting to a half century and beaten there to the end and then with the ball.
07:46Cracking.
07:48Excellent shot, and Markram is extremely strong offside square.
07:57Half century for Aidan Markram.
08:0011th in Test cricket to go with 700s, but critically, just his third away from home.
08:10Slides on and finally.
08:13Morty's resilience.
08:15Pace, big dividends for the West Indies.
08:19Kept nagging at this length.
08:23You're going back.
08:25Would have crashed into his middle stump.
08:32Came down the track.
08:35And will be a boundary, but.
08:38Fortunate boundary for Bovoma.
08:43Oh, no!
08:47It didn't bounce that much.
08:49It's straight.
08:50There's a fair way down. Will Brathwaite go for it?
08:53The guys square up the wicket and behind the wicket.
08:59OK, pitching in line, impact.
09:02Wickets hitting.
09:04Go back to Saikat on field to reverse his decision to out.
09:13Terrific again.
09:15Terrific with that line.
09:17Terrific into that weakness of Tristan Stubbs.
09:21He keeps coming and coming, Jaden Seals.
09:25This is the beauty of this format of the game.
09:28It's a chess match.
09:30The third time in four innings that he's been dismissed in this manner.
09:35Tristan Stubbs again.
09:37A feather through to the wicketkeeper.
09:39Again, brilliance.
09:41Again, brilliance from Jaden Seals.
09:47That's a good shot.
09:49That's the sort of shot, if you get it, that this pair needs to shift the balance of power.
09:58He has him! He has him!
10:00He's targeting the bunt.
10:02What a spell from Jaden Seals.
10:04He continues to grow in stature.
10:07He never relents.
10:08This is sensational stuff from Seals.
10:12Previous delivery just going down the leg.
10:15This time, inside edge.
10:18Ricochets onto the Stubbs.
10:20Two wickets in quick time.
10:25The inside edge.
10:27Quite lucky on that occasion.
10:29Verena.
10:31And he gets four. So, releasing the pressure a bit.
10:34Runs coming a little more freely now.
10:39Lofted drive.
10:41Over pitch. It was straight.
10:43A long on would not have prevented
10:46this type of stroke
10:48or even created any sort of risk in it.
10:56Went searching.
10:58Rare miss of length in his last few spells for Joseph.
11:09Yeah, full toss. Maybe just tiring here, Moti,
11:12because last couple overs have been uncharacteristically loose.
11:23Yeah, runs continuing to flow.
11:26They did remove Athenaeus from the slipcord
11:28and put him in front of square.
11:30So, open area for Verena.
11:33Huge shot.
11:35Was he hit outside the line?
11:36That's the consideration of Asan Raza.
11:39Doesn't think so.
11:41And the finger goes up.
11:43Jayden Seals is elated.
11:45For now, anyway. We'll have a review.
11:55Okay, pitching inside off.
11:57Impact in line.
11:59Wickets missing.
12:02Okay, we'll go back to Asan on field
12:04to reverse his decision to not out.
12:07Asan, you're on screen now.
12:09Yeah, decision overturned.
12:14Yeah, that should challenge the boundary.
12:17And it gets there.
12:19He'll direct it from Jayden Seals.
12:23South Africa count another four to their total.
12:29And he goes for it.
12:31He gets it. Maybe not all of it.
12:33Yeah, he does get all of it.
12:36Just over the roof for six.
12:43Yeah, brings up a 50 for Kyle Verena.
12:47Well played and a well-earned one
12:49at a crucial stage for South Africa.
12:54Yeah, appreciated by his teammates.
12:56Quite rightly so.
12:58You can see the smile
13:00and the
13:02relief on his face.
13:06It's dropped short.
13:08And it's got the treatment it deserves.
13:11That's a maximum for Vian Mulder.
13:19Yeah, well kept out
13:21by Vian Mulder.
13:23And with him,
13:25Kyle Verena.
13:27They'll be very pleased.
13:29And so too will the South African team
13:30and management.
13:32Jayden Seals toiled tirelessly
13:34with some reward.
13:37But this session,
13:39four wickets falling
13:41for 112 runs.
13:43But this partnership has seen
13:45South Africa to a position
13:47of comfort.
