Meanwhile, fast bowler Anrich Nortje picked up his fourth Test fiver as the Proteas restricted the West Indians to 212 all out in 69 overs in in their first innings. 

The Proteas had scored 342 all out in 86.3 overs in their first innings with West Indian bowler Joseph recording his maiden Test five wickets after giving away 81 runs.
