Port Elizabeth, South Africa: South Africa's batsmen made a steady start to the second test after it lost the toss and was inserted by the West Indies at St. George's Park on Friday.
The home side reached lunch on the first day on 68-1, with Dean Elgar's unbeaten 35 preventing any major damage in conditions that provided some swing for the West Indies seamers.
Alviro Petersen was the only batsman to fall, as he spooned a short, wide delivery to the fielder at cover to depart for 17.
Faf du Plessis was content to bide his time at the start of his innings, facing 34 deliveries for his 6 not out.
South Africa leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first test by an innings and 220 runs.
