[Watch] Jayden Seales knocks over Kyle Verreynne to complete a 5-fer on Day 3 of 2nd WI vs SA Test
Jayden Seales ended Kyle Verreynne's resistance for 59 on Day 3 of the second Test between West Indies and South Africa at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Saturday, August 17. Seales claimed 6-61 in 18.4 overs in South Africa's second innings as the Proteas were bowled out for 246 in 80.4 overs.
South Africa resumed their second innings on Day 3 of the Test match at 223-5, with Verreynne batting on 50 and Wiaan Mulder on 34. Mulder was trapped lbw by Jomel Warrican for his overnight score in the first over of the innings. Seales then dismissed Keshav Maharaj for a duck. The Proteas tailender looked to clip a length delivery but ended up chipping a catch to short midwicket.
Seales completed a memorable five-wicket haul, only the second of his Test career, by cleaning up Verreynne. The 22-year-old bowled one from wide of the crease and slanted in a fullish delivery, inviting the drive from the well-set South African batter. Verreynne accepted the challenge and went for a drive on the on side. The right-hander, however, was completely beaten and got clean bowled.
