Mark Boucher 69, AB de Villiers 68 and Ashwell Prince 57 scored most runs for South Africa.



West Indies will start their reply tomorrow.



OVER AT GRACE ROAD IN ENGLAND, teenaged left-arm seamer Jaidev Unadkat snatched a seven-wicket haul to wreck West Indies A’s batting before Ajinkya Rahane and Abhinav Mukund scored half-centuries to put India ‘A’ in charge of the first four-day “Test today.



Playing on the second day after rain forced the opening day yesterday to be abandoned, Unadkat picked up seven for 41 on his first class debut to send the Caribbean side tumbling for a disappointing 144.



In reply, Rahane carved out an unbeaten 66 while opener Mukund hammered a patient 54 as India ‘A’ cruised to 183 for two, already a lead of 39 runs.
