Markram and Zorzi were involved in an 80-run stand when the latter was run-out following a miscommunication with the two batters.

After winning the toss, newly-appointed captain Temba Bavuma opted to bat and South Africa couldn't have asked for a better start as Dean Elgar and comeback man Markram added 141 runs for the first wicket.

But 52 runs were added for the last three wickets on either side of stumps. He finished with 5 for 81 but went for runs when he pitched the ball up on the second morning; in all five boundaries were scored among Coetzee, Marco Jansen, and Nortje, allowing the hosts to go at just over a run a ball. Joseph had eventually got Elgar for the first wicket, which led to Tony de Zorzi, on debut, joining Markram to put on another 80 runs, but after Joshua Da Silva effected de Zorzi's run out by palming Chanderpaul's throw onto the stumps, it was the start of a collapse of 7 for 79.

West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua da Silva showed some deft handwork to catch him short and claim the second wicket. The 28-year-old Markram was teary-eyed after reaching his sixth Test century in a triumphant return after being dropped for the three-Test series in Australia at the turn of the year. An emotional Markram celebrated his recall to the Test side with a 115-run knock after the home side had won the toss and elected to bat, racing to 99-0 at lunch and 221-1 before the tourists bounced back with seven wickets in the evening session.

Some cracks have opened up in the pitch and as a result, there is variable bounce and the batters have found it difficult to deal with. The pitch is playing a lot of tricks now and here's another example of that! As a bowler you need to pitch the ball in the right areas. Keegan Petersen looks to keep it out but is undone by the lack of bounce and is rapped low on the pads. As a batter you need to use the opportunity. Expect the bowlers to rule the roost once again tomorrow. This one seams in from a back of a length on off. Nortje bowled in the right areas, need to come back at him in the second innings. Still, the home side hold the upper hand as they lead by 179 and this pitch is only going to worsen. It (changing from a bent-leg to braced-leg action) took me a while at the start, it took me a year to get going again. I was trying to score and put the pressure back on the bowlers. Need the middle order to get us a proper lead, we need some sort of partnership, need a lead of 250-plus.
