And that's a seven-wicket win for South Africa - an excellent win, levelling the series at 1-1 with one Test to play. It's been a cracking Test, see-sawing nicely through the first three days. But West Indies' batting, particularly in the second innings, really let them down and South Africa's doggedness and determination saw them home. The bowling from West Indies this afternoon was particularly dire, though they'd clearly given up all hope of winning - in spite of a wonderful 70 from Chanderpaul earlier in the day, and Gayle's blitzkrieg 38.
South Africa were out of the blocks in chasing 185 - and Smith worked his way into form with a very fine 85. And it is his team who have the momentum going into the third test at Durban on Thursday.
We hope you've enjoyed our coverage. From Martin Williamson, Andrew Miller, Andrew McGlashan and me, Will Luke, do join us again on Thursday.
