Well played JP Duminy. A fine, controlled innings - under pressure at one stage, too, following a good opening spell from Fidel Edwards and Daren Powell who reduced them to 4 for 2. When the rain threatened in the middle overs, South Africa were behind on Duckworth Lewis, but Duminy's cool head - and two useful wingman knocks from Justin Ontong and Mark Boucher - took them home.
We hope you've enjoyed our coverage. Join us again on Friday to see if West Indies can level the series in Cape Town. For now, from Will Luke and Martin Williamson, it's goodnight.

Powell to Duminy, 2 runs, an ugly swish from Duminy, it flies through midwicket and there's the win for South Africa

Powell to Boucher, 1 run, this sits up on Boucher who pulls it softly
Powell's opening spell was very good, but since his fielding cock-up about 10 overs ago, he's completely bottled it. Poor old Daren
