Time for the presentation ceremony...

03:13 IST:

The match proved to be an enthralling contest from the outset. South Africa, opting to bat first, struggled against the local talent Shamar Joseph, supported by Jayden Seales, who dismantled their batting lineup. Joseph's five-wicket haul left South Africa reeling at 97/9, but a gritty last-wicket stand of 63 between Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger pushed the total to 160. In response, the West Indies faced similar difficulties against the South African pace trio of Mulder, Burger, and Rabada. Jason Holder's resilient half-century, alongside a spirited partnership with Shamar Joseph, reduced the deficit to just 16 runs before Keshav Maharaj wrapped up the innings.

03:24 IST:

As the game progressed, batting conditions improved with the pitch easing up, allowing South Africa to build a solid 79-run opening stand through Markram and de Zorzi. However, the West Indies fought back valiantly with Jason Holder and Jayden Seales leading a probing spell that resulted in crucial breakthroughs. The spinners Warrican and Motie further tilted the balance with important wickets, but it was Seales' six-wicket haul that swung the momentum back in the Windies' favor, leaving the tourists with much to ponder.

03:09 IST:

Earlier, South Africa started the day with a 239-run lead, but their innings suffered a dramatic collapse. After a previous collapse that saw them lose 4 wickets for 19 runs, another downfall followed, leading to the loss of their last 5 wickets for just 23 runs. What could have been a much larger lead was curtailed, with the visitors having to settle for 262 on the board. Jayden Seales was the chief wrecker, finishing with career-best figures of 6 for 61. In reply, Kagiso Rabada dented West Indies early before Kraigg Brathwaite and Keacy Carty saw their side through till Lunch.

03:08 IST:

While West Indies dominated the morning session, South Africa seized control in the afternoon. Wiaan Mulder made an early impact by dismissing West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite, setting the tone for the session. Keacy Carty, who had earlier been reprieved due to a no-ball, squandered his second chance and failed to capitalize. Kavem Hodge, coming in at number 4, showed some intent but couldn’t sustain his innings, falling prey to the pressure exerted by the South African bowlers. Alick Athanaze and Jason Holder both perished attempting big shots against Dane Piedt, which only compounded the hosts' troubles. By Tea, West Indies found themselves in a precarious position. The lack of experience in handling the disciplined South African bowling, combined with the mounting pressure, led to a series of mistakes, ultimately putting the hosts on the back foot.

03:31 IST:

The third session of Day 3 began with West Indies precariously placed at 127 for 6, still 136 runs behind with just 4 wickets in hand. The hosts found a glimmer of hope through a fighting partnership between Gudakesh Motie and Joshua Da Silva. Motie opted for an aggressive approach against the spinners, while Da Silva focused on rotating the strike. As the partnership grew and the required runs dipped into the 80s, South Africa needed a breakthrough. Keshav Maharaj, reintroduced into the attack, answered his captain's call. He dismissed both set batters in quick succession, with both LBW decisions could have gone either way but the all-important on-field call wentSouth Africa's way. This double blow swung the momentum back in South Africa's direction, putting them firmly in control. The Windies' tail offered stiff resistance and made South Africa wait for the win, but ultimately, the Proteas' persistence paid off, securing their victory and the series.Kagiso Rabada ended the Test just one wicket short of reaching 300 Test wickets, while Keshav Maharaj, with the final wicket, surpassed Hugh Tayfield to become the leading wicket-taker for South Africa as a spinner in Test cricket with 171 wickets.

03:23 IST:

South Africa retain the Sir Vivian Richards Trophy! A thoroughly captivating Test, where the pendulum swung back and forth, but in the end, the Proteas emerged victorious, winning both the Test and the series. As per Daren Ganga on air, this is now the 10th consecutive Test series win for South Africaagainst the West Indies. Despite showing promise across both Tests, the West Indies lacked the experience, especially in the batting department, to counter South Africa's formidable bowling attack. The Windies' top six could only manage 90 runs between them, and if they had applied themselves better on this wicket, it could very well have been the West Indies on the winning side.

However, anything can happen after the Tea break as we have witnessed miracles happen in this game. Stay tuned as the post-Tea session will commence in a few minutes from now.

00:56 IST:

The Windies hoped that the new set batters, Alick Athanazeand Kavem Hodgewould continue their partnership till the Tea break. They were doing pretty decent as Hodgestruck a few lusty blows to keep the scoreboard ticking, and Alick Athanazeadapted to play thepassive role. But Kagiso Rabada'sexperience turned out to make the most out of it, neutralizing the dangerous-lookingHodge. At the other end, Dane Piedtpicked up two back-to-back wickets, and in no matter of time, the game tiltedtowards the Proteas. Now Windies' all hopes are onJoshua Da Silva, as he is the only recognisedbatter left in their line-up. South Africaare clearly in attacking mode, trying to wrap the game up as quickly as possible.

00:55 IST:

TEA, DAY 3 - Session Summary - 26 overs, 83 runs, 5 wickets. End of an absorbing session of Test cricket! As players head into the Tea interval, South Africafind themselves in complete control of the Test. After the lunch break the set batters of the Windies, Kraigg Brathwaiteand Keacy Cartystarted slow and steady, rotating their strike to keep their scoreboard ticking. But after a couple of overs, Wiaan Mulderwas able to hunt the opposition skipper, Kraigg Brathwaitedown. Alick Athanaze struggled since his arrivalas did Carty sincethe first over after the Lunch break. He also had a golden lifeline when he was on 17, where he wascaught off a No Ball but he failed to capitalize on it and perished sooner.

22:38 IST:

... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...

22:12 IST:

The pitch has provided enough assistance to keep the bowlers interested, and with the sun beating down, South Africa's bowlers will be hoping for further deterioration. However, with 8 sessions remaining and 220 more runs needed for victory, the West Indies will go into the Lunch interval as the happier of the two sides. Do join us back at 10.40 pm IST (1710 GMT) for what should be another enthralling session of Test cricket.

22:11 IST:

Chasing 263 for victory, the West Indies began cautiously, with Kagiso Rabada posing a constant threat, beating the bat on numerous occasions. One of those deliveries finally found its mark as Mikyle Louis edged to third slip, giving South Africa an early breakthrough. However, Keacy Carty and Kraigg Brathwaite held the fort, ensuring no further casualties before Lunch.As we’ve seen so far in this Test, once the ball loses its hardness, batting tends to get easier, and intent will be the key for West Indies, which was visible in the first 14 overs.

22:07 IST:

SESSION SUMMARY - 66 runs, 24.4 overs and 6 wickets.End of an eventful first session on Day 3, one that belonged to West Indiesas theyshowed fight to script a turnaround.South Africa started the day with a healthy lead of 239 runs, aiming to press home their advantage. However, Jayden Seales had other plans, consistently hitting the right areas and reaping the rewards. Seales picked up where he left off on Day 2, finishing with a remarkable 6-wicket haul. Shamar Josephand Jomel Warrican also made valuable contributions with the ball. For South Africa, the first 50 minutes of the morning were forgettable, as they squandered their strong position, losing their last 5 wickets for just 23 runs.
