Tony- great innings by Graeme Smith thats his 2nd Century in 2 matches for south africa. well this looks like a south african win and the west indies bowling has been very good but this wicket is so flat that they have not been able to get any wickets. so far only 3 wickets have fallen for the whole day. another problem for the west indies has been they have introduced spin bowling very late in this match.

Here are the Highlights
