South Africa captain Graeme Smith hit 132 to help put his side into a good position against the West Indies on day one of the second Test at Warner Park in St Kitts.



Smith and Alviro Petersen shared an opening stand of 99 before Petersen was dismissed for 52 by off-spinner Shane Shillingford.



Shillingford also bowled Hashim Amla for 44 before Kemar Roach got rid of Smith after tea.



However, Jacques Kallis 45 not out and AB de Villiers seven not out guided the Proteas safely to the close.



West Indies trail the series 1-0 after losing the first Test by 163 runs at the Queen’s Park Oval last week.
