Bavuma half ton pushes Proteas further ahead at the Wanderers

The West Indies seam bowlers deserve credit for their discipline, while Kraigg Brathwaite was intent on creating frustration to draw errors out of the Proteas batters.  

Normally more attacking fields would be expected with a team 69/4 as was the case when the Proteas resumed after lunch, but instead Brathwaite set strong offside fields, inviting the Proteas to drive, but with fielders cutting off sure-fire boundaries, he hoped to frustrate them. 

It wasn’t the most imaginative captaincy, but it worked, especially in the case of Heinrich Klaasen, who played an awful pull, the ball flying off the sop edge giving Joshua Da Silva his third catch of the innings.  

He scored just 14, but was the only wicket to fall in the session.
