We are expecting an exciting days cricket with Smith trying to
drive home the advantage striving to ensure victory in the series
and the West Indies, with there pride having been hurt, looking to
bounce back and take the fight to the South Africans

pressure

Match State: Lunch - Day 1
At lunch one would possibly call it honours even with the West
Indies nipping out Smith late
Now with with both openers out they at least have a start but the
pitch is a good one
offering reward if you bowl the right line and length while also
allowing the batsmen to
profit from the poor ball. South Africa have much batting to come
and with the 2nd day
traditionally being the best day to bat at Newlands will be
looking to pile it on and load
the pressure. West Indies need to keep sharp in the field as they
have looked untidy at times
allowing some hard earned and tight bowling to come to nought as
the release was always around
when the batsmen needed it most.
Join us again in 40 minutes where we will continue to provide you
live coverage of a Test that
is nicely poised for either side to take the initiative.

Match State: Tea - Day 1
106 runs in 31 overs for the loss of Kirsten would seem to
indicate that South Africa had the better of the session
The West Indies were more disiplined in the session with Edwards
bothering all the batsmen and it was his
delivery that struck Kallis on the right forearm and saw him
retiring hurt a couple of overs later
Word is that nothing is broken and Kallis will be able to bat
again although the team would most
likely look to try and hold him over till tomorrow.
There is much to play for with West Indies looking to keep the
scoring rate down and nip another couple of wickets
and South Africa looking to push on with Rudolph now well set and
McKenzie looking comfy on this pitch which
definitely favours the batsmen.

West Indies played themselves back into the match in the last
session when after loosing Rudolph to a slog sweep off the bowling
of Mohammed
Boucher replaced Adams and mood of the game had swung with the
West Indies very seriously having their tails up.
McKenzie, after having played freely, now looked to shut up shop
and nervously went into his shell.
This cautiousness saw him, almost as an after thought, drop a lazy
bat onto a ball outside off and helped it onto the stumps.
With 3 wickets having gone in 3 consecutive overs and the manner
with which the bowling side were holding their heads
one would not have believed that they had chased leather for most
of the day.
In the end some poor judgement in sending Adams out to the dogs
ultimately meant that the West Indies
ended the day with honours even and if they can make some early in
roads, and remember they have a new ball waiting,
they could well be in a position to pile on the runs and put some
pressure on the South Africans to sieze back the initiative.

Match State: Lunch - Day 2
At Lunch South Africa have taken the initiative away from the West
Indies as the comfortably won that session.
Pollock went early after playing a fine cover drive in the same
over he was dismissed
but Kallis looked comfortable from the first ball and looked set
to make a big score
Lara wrung the changes constantly tweaking his field but it will
be Edwards who will be rueing the mornings play as
he managed knock back the off stump of Boucher with a quick one
that beat him all ends up only to see the Umpire with his arm out
rightfully, as the monitor would later show us, so.
To add insult to injury it went for 4 byes and from that moment on
the South African batsmen were untroubled quietly accumulating a
hundred run partnership in 129 mins.
There is much for West Indies still to do if only they can open up
an end but one would say that as it stands it is South Africa who
are firmly in command of this Test Match

However the bowling was poor today, wasting the new ball and
Boucher was not going to no after being bowled off a no-ball from
Edwards when on 15
Not only did it cost 107 runs off the bat of Boucher but it cost
many more off the bat of Kallis and a few off the tail enders as
well.
Instead of having South Africa at 351 for 8 with one end open they
chased leather for the rest of the season and much of the one till
Tea
Now with a deficit of 532 and some fresh quicks champing at the
bit me thinks the West Indies are in some serious trouble even
though the wicket is still a good one
Join us after Tea for the West Indies reply

Match State: Lunch - Day 3
West Indies were a different side in the first session to the one
that was there last evening as they seemd to withdraw into their
shells
The session registered 59 runs off 29 overs and some disiplined,
if at time a touch negative, bowling saw South Africa comfortably
winning it
West Indies have much to do but with just 96 to avoid the follow-on
that should be a formality before pressing on
Smith looked good and if Lara can play with a little more freedom
we should have and wonderful afternoon session ahead of us

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
South Africa have a lead of 143 runs and will no doubt look to bat
most of tomorrow leaving the West Indies around 400 off 100 overs
or so, time will tell
This game is poised in such a manner that although South Africa
would be seen to be on top there is still much cricket to be
played and the West Indies are not out of the running as yet
The wicket is showing signs of wear but as has been the case
throughout there is a little something in it for the bowlers if
they put their backs into it
Join us tomorrow, if you cannot make it to the ground yourself,
where we will be delighted to bring you continued live coverage
Feel free to send comments and the like to comms@cricinfo.com

It did not go quite as scripted for South Africa as Edwards
removed Smith, bowling him not playing a shot, and
Drakes got rid of Rudolph, edging to the keeper, early on but
Gibbs and Kallis have looked solid and restored the balance
With a lead of 232 and a lot of batting still to come one may see
South Africa looking to up the run rate a touch in preparation of
target
If West Indies can rip out a few after lunch with Edwards who
looked dangerous they are still in with a just about even chance

having a chat here as a steady drizzle is coming down
lots of talk and now it does appear as if they will go off
covers coming on
Match State: Delay - Day 4 - Rain
Rain still coming down here and it looks like it is here to say for
more than just a little while
the weather folks were expecting this to come late afternoon and
filter into tomorrow morning so it looks like it came early
forcast is for sun tomorrow after early morning rain
if we lose the rest of tghe day one wonders if Smith would venture
the risk of setting the Windies a reasonable target given the way
Gayle went crazy in the 1st innings
Will update on the situation at 14:00 GMT is nothing happens prior
to that
Feel free to send comments and the like to comms@cricinfo.com
The rain continues unabated here at Newlands with a steady stream
falling which isnt hard but is consistent
Playing conditions allow for an extra hour to be added which means
the rescheduled close of play would be 16:30 GMT
We feel further play is most probably unlikely but it can be
expected that tomorrow will be an early start
Should we not get back on this would leave 105 overs to be bowled
tomorrow
Based purely on speculation, if South Africa bat for 13 overs and
allow 2 for the change at around 5 an over
This would leave the West Indies around 350 to win in 90 overs at
a fraction under 4 an over which may well be within their reach
With the potential to wrap up the series one has to wonder if
Captain Smith would be that adventurous
A further update will follow at 15:30 GMT by which time we should
know if play is likely to be called off
As per usual you are welcome to send comments and the like to
comms@cricinfo.com
Covers are starting to be removed and word has come thru that play
will start at 15:00 GMT
We will confirm overs left for the day and the like as soon as we
hear
It has been confirmed that 26 overs are scheduled for the rest of
the day

South Africa comfortably won the final session after coming back
from a rain delay which saw them go in at 188/2 and end on 335/3
from the 26 designated overs
Gibbs and Kallis both went to 100's, the 3rd 100 in as many
matches for Kallis, and in doing so were merciless particularly
after making the landmark
It was clear that they were looking to set a target and with 105
overs to be bowled tomorrow one can expect Smith to declare
overnight
This would leave West Indies needing 441 at 4.2 to the over which
seems out of their reach and will therefore just be survival in
their minds and not much else

drizzle coming down here and the players standing in the middle of
the pitch looking to encourage teh umps to go off and they do so
we'll have an early lunch
Match State: Lunch - Day 5
The covers are on here at Newlands as lunch was taken early with
the drizzle coming 10 mins before the scheduled time
South Africa possibly just shading the extended morning session
picking up two of the required 10 wickets
The West Indies have done well in form of Lara and Sarwan but it
still appears to be a bridge to far
Adams has been threatening and although he has given away a few he
may well have had 4 or 5 wickets in this Test Match if luck were
on his side
Sun is already out and the drizzle has gone so it's likely that we
will see much, if not all, of the 72 overs required with the West
Indies still requiring 313 at just on 4.3 an over

Match State: Tea - Day 5
West Indies had the better of the session throughout although the
blow of loosing Lara may count for more than most
Realistically one is inclined to believe that only 2 results are
available here, a win for South Africa or a well earned draw
South Africa will have to throw away their inclination to be
conservative though and one feels that Adams will be the key man
if he is given the ball and allowed to flight them to an attacking
field
I expect this may very well go down to the wire so join us after
Tea as we continue to bring you live coverage of enthralling Test
cricket
