Fast bowlers Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel took two wickets each as South Africa bowled out the West Indies for 329 in their first innings on the second day of the third and final Test at Newlands on Saturday.

South African opening batsmen Alviro Petersen and Dean Elgar survived some hostile bowling from Jerome Taylor and Shannon Gabriel, but Elgar was leg before wicket to first change bowler Jason Holder in the last over before lunch.

South Africa were 1-48 at the interval.

Resuming at 6-276, the West Indies lost their remaining four wickets amid a flurry of strokes.

Jerome Blackwood reached his third Test half-century with a cover drive for four off Steyn but was then trapped in front of his stumps with a full, swinging delivery after making top score of 56.

Jason Holder and Jerome Taylor both went for their shots before perishing to mistimed blows.

Holder top-edged a pull and was caught at mid-on and Taylor was caught at fine leg when he hooked a ball from Morkel.

Suleiman Benn was last man out, driving Morkel to mid-off.

Steyn finished with 4-78 and Morkel 2-83.

Taylor and Gabriel both built up plenty of pace at the start of the South African innings, with Gabriel recorded at over 150km/h.

But they bowled some loose deliveries as they tried to unsettle the batsmen with short-pitched deliveries.

Both fast bowlers conceded wides with balls that climbed over wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin’s head for four extra runs.

The tall Holder conceded 12 runs in his first over after replacing Gabriel but followed up with a maiden before Elgar played across a full delivery and was out for eight.

Petersen was 26 not out at lunch.
