WI v SA, 2nd Test: Gabriel Takes 2, Elgar Slams 77 As West Indies-South Africa Share Honors On Day 1

By IANS News June 19, 2021 • 19:39 PM View: 1572

West Indies right-arm fast bowler Shannon Gabriel took two crucial wickets on his return to Test cricket, but South Africa battled back thanks to half-centuries from skipper Dean Elgar (77) and wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock (59 not out) to close Day 1 of the second Test on 218/5 on Friday.

Gabriel struck in his first over -- the second of the day - to get rid of opener Aiden Markram (0), and again just before the tea break ended a crucial partnership when he had Kyle Verreynne (27) to push for equalising the series after the Proteas won the opening Test.
