The Proteas bowlers, however, atoned for their batters by taking the wicket of West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite in the sole over before lunch when he got a scratch on the ball bowled by Kagiso Rabada down the legside, with Heinrich Klaasen tumbling to his left to grab a good catch.West Indies need 247 runs to win 👇
