The ball has been lost, and as the umpires pick the replacement, they have called for DRINKS. West Indies will be pretty happy with this start. It was tough early on as the South African new-ball attack bowled with serious pace, but they managed to see off that phase without much damage. Zachary Carter has settled in nicely and will look to convert this start into a big score. In these energy-sapping conditions, an arduous challenge awaits Muhammad Bulbulia and his boys. Whatever early assistance there was for the quicks has largely disappeared. Just three balls of spin have been bowled so far, and it remains to be seen how much, if anything, the spinners can extract from this dry surface. The ball that was dispatched out of the park has been found, and we carry on with it after the break.
