Lungi Ngidi gives South Africa edge in first Test v West Indies

South Africa reached stumps on the opening day of the Test series at 128/4, leading the West Indies’ first innings total of 97 by 31 runs.

South Africa bowled out West Indies for 97 to take control o the first day of the first Test in Saint Lucia on Thursday. After winning the toss, the home side posted their lowest test total against South Africa, who reached the close on 128 for four in reply, a lead of 31 runs on a wicket that is proving difficult to score on. Rassie van der Dussen (34 not out) and Quinton de Kock (4 not out) will resume on the second day, seeking to steady what has been a brittle top six for the touring side in recent times. West Indies' firebrand teenage fast bowler Jayden Seales who has only played one previous first-class match accounted for fellow debutant Keegan Petersen (19) in South Africa's innings.
