Thats Stumps on Day 1.
It''s not often that you''ll see one team leading the other on the very first
day of a test. South Africa have completely dominated today, they bundled out
the Windies for a paltry 139 and their batsmen have belted the ball to all corners
of the park, at brisk pace as well. Smith brought up an incredible century to
boost South Africa into the lead. They are alredy ahead by 74. Join us tomorrow
to see how many they pile up. Until then, its goodnight.
The umpires again get into a discussion, offer the light to the batsmen and
they accept it. Players are walking off the field.

10.6 Steyn to Parchment, FOUR!!, full and wide, Parchment slashes at it and gets
it behind square on the off side!

That also brings to end Shaun Pollock''s test career. He waves to the ground before
being carried away on Nel''s and Smith''s shoulders.
Chanderpaul is too unwell to come out today and that means South Africa win
by an innings and 100 runs.
