Shamar Joseph Takes Five Wickets on Home Test Debut

Shamar Joseph made a spectacular home Test debut for the West Indies, claiming 5 wickets for 33 runs as South Africa was bowled out for 160 on the first day of the second Test. Despite Joseph's impressive performance, South Africa's Wiaan Mulder fought back with 4 wickets for just 18 runs, leaving the West Indies struggling at 97 for 7 by day's end. Joseph's bowling was vital in dismantling the South African batting order, while Mulder's accurate bowling significantly shifted momentum. A last-wicket partnership of 63 runs between Dane Piedt and Nandre Burger helped South Africa reach a respectable total. The West Indies, however, faced challenges against the South African bowlers, with only Jason Holder managing to contribute significantly with 33 runs. The day saw a total of 17 wickets fall, highlighting the dominance of the bowlers in the match's opening.
