Proteas captain Temba Bavuma says the batting unit was the big positive to take from the rain-interrupted draw against the West Indies in the first Test in Trinidad.
The Proteas were denied a chance to claim victory in the first Test against the West Indies due to inclement weather as the match ended in a draw.
The Proteas wrapped up the West Indies innings and went to work with the bat on another weather-affected day in the opening Test in Trinidad.
Keshav Maharaj bowled a marathon spell of 28 overs and took three wickets to help the Proteas restrict the West Indies to 145-4 at stumps on day three of the first Test.
The Proteas finished day two of the first Test against the West Indies on 344/8 on a slow day in Port of Spain.
Only 15 overs were bowled on a rain-interrupted opening day of the first Test between West Indies and South Africa in Trinidad with the Proteas 45/1 at stumps.
