Ntini scored 18 and was unlucky to be given out, caught behind from Mohammed, but he's gone.
Boucher is still going, on 122 n.o. 9/532.

No, I saw it from bed. I have some of my best moments from there and that was one of them.
One of the best Test innings I've seen !!
I can see why they played this bloke while still carrying an injury. He was quite amazing. Unable to run quick singles, he just kept rocking on to the back foot and hitting boundaries.
Not many batsmen take Pollock for 7 r.p.o. but Gayle was doing it with ease. Ganga just kept putting him on strike. I know what that's like. I once shared a partnership of 107 with my gun batsman. I scored 5.
Nice to see something put a smile on your face, mate, and I can understand why your numbers aren't quite accurate.
Gayle's 50 came from 37 balls, 46 in boundaries. His ton took 79 balls with 19 fours and a six.
When Nel claimed Ganga for 17, the score was 126. Amazing.
Then Sarwan took over by slamming on 39 (43 balls) of a 52 run partnership while Gayle literally slowed to a walk with 12 from 26 balls. He's is 112 n.o. and The Windies have already knocked off 178 runs.
Ya just gotta love the Calypso Cavaliers when they do their thing. It may not win them a lot of Tests but it's bloody great to watch.

Today's play has given further proof of Gayle's amazing innings.
The Windies could only manage 3/59 from 29 overs today and that was with Lara and Hinds at the crease. Same bowlers. Same wicket.
Lara has struggled to 24 n.o. from 84 balls. Smith is looking good in his first Test innings with 12 from 14 balls. Nel has 2/45.

Lara scored his 24th. Test hundred and, along with a very entertaining 36 - 34 in boundaries - from David Mohammed, kept his team in this match.
He saw quick wickets fall in the morning but got his head down and with help from Smith (20), Jacobs (23) and Drakes (20), got the Windies to 427, only 105 behind.
Andre Nel took 5/87.
Sth. Africa is 0/38 at stumps.
