West Indies had the better of large swathes of day three, but Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel, with bat and ball respectively, made the high-impact contributions that ensured South Africa were still in control of the game at stumps. Kraigg Brathwaite and Marlon Samuels put on an unbroken 92-run stand after Morkel had rocked West Indies with twin strikes just before tea, and West Indies were 71 short of the follow-on mark when rain and bad light brought play to a close.

After a wet outfield delayed the start of play, West Indies' seamers scythed through South Africa's middle order in rain-freshened conditions. It meant South Africa had lost five wickets for 74 runs starting with Faf du Plessis' dismissal on the rain-soaked second day. Steyn counterattacked thereafter, and hastened South Africa's declaration with a 28-ball 58 that lifted South Africa's score from 369 to 417 in five manic overs after lunch.

Good fighting by KB and Marlon, a good day in WI cricket, now end to the year by doing something special.
