Match State: Stumps - Day 1
And that is time, one over short after getting the maximum extra 30
minutes
That over will now be lost and we start with 90 overs again
tomorrow
Once again sorry for the lack of coverage but it was out of our
control with the power still off in docklands.
Join us again tomorrow for hopefully full coverage from the start
of day 2.
Good morning from Bridgetown and the start of the second day of the
3rd Test between West Indies and South Africa
Firstly sorry for the complete loss of coverage yesterday due to a
11 hour power outage at Docklands in London where our main servers
are housed
Well you did not miss a lot, you missed a another brilliant innings
from Lara who single handedly kept the South Africans at bay
For those of you who would like to catch on the last two sessions,
the ball-by-ball commentary is available on the site
Today we have another beautiful day, although we did have a
sprinkle of rain earlier this morning
South AFrica still require three wickets while the home team will
be looking to 350 to 400 for a par 1st innings score on this pitch

CO Browne c Zondeki b Nel 5 (12b 0x4 0x6)
RD King 0* (3b) A Nel 21.2-3-56-4 (1nb)
West Indies collapse from 286 for 5 to 296 all out, with both Nel
and Zondeki picking up 4 wickets each
A good come back by South Africa but the innings of Lara shows
brilliance in contrast to the rest
As the umpires come out to start the innings, the roller comes out
for its 7 minutes of work, so a bit of a delay here
And now a heavier roller comes out, so a bit of confusion out there
at the moment
The reason is that the heavier roller was apparently outside the
ground and had to be fetched first
Remind me of England in South Africa a few years back when the
mechanical roller would not start, also caused a long delay
This one however is being pulled by a tractor, maybe the tractor
would not start
at last after a 10 minute delay the umpires lead the players out
Smith will open the innings, despite the hamstring injury, with de
Villiers
Edwards to take the new ball

Match State: Drinks
Chance to answer some questions
The runner can be anyone in the team as long as he wears the same
equipment that the batsman has, that includes arm and chest guards
etc
The weather is fine, and no chance of any rain again today, sorry
guys
A batsman can use a runner if he is injured in the current game, if
he comes into the game with an injury then the opposing captain
can refuse the use of the runner
We will try to give more fielding positions as the game goes on

Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Another good day of test cricket where West Indies restricted South
Africa to +- 3 runs per over and for their sake I hope they do not
regret the tactics
A lead of 225 with two days to go, is a good position to be in, but
could it have been more?
Thanks for staying with us, and please be back at the start of play
tomorrow
From Keith, Goodnight all
Welcome to all for the start of day 4 of the Test between South
Africa and West Indies at the Kensington Oval
The weather once again is fine and sunny with South Africa to
continue with the bat and try to extend the 225-run lead

nudges wide of mid-on, bit of a stop start run, but easily through
176.2 Powell to Boje, three runs, full on the off, drives well past

slows up in the last 10 meters

ball, clips the helmet to fine leg

177.4 Edwards to Nel, two runs, outside off, short, follows it, edges,
Lara dives across at first slip, dropped
177.5 Edwards to Nel, no run, quick and short down the leg side, Nel
steps inside it
and with that short ball the declaration comes
Smith might have decided that it is not worth Nel getting hurt and
calls them off with the target of 250 lead obviously reached
As mentioned earlier, the South Africans were upset when they saw
that the outfield had suddenly been cut this morning, the first
time since the first day, the explanation given was that it rained
before the start on the other days
The reply was but it did not rain after play on each of the days
Maybe we will hear some more about that as the game progresses
