Kallis, de Villiers complete centuries

BASSETERRE: South Africa failed to make early inroads into West Indies' batting, after A.B. de Villiers and Jacques Kallis gathered resolute hundreds to fortify its position in the second Test here on Saturday.

The South Africans were hoping for a bag of early wickets, but West Indies captain Chris Gayle and fellow left-hander Narsingh Deonarine defied the Protea attack, as the home team reached 86 for one when bad light stopped play early on the second day at Warner Park.

De Villiers hit an undefeated 135 to top score for South Africa, and Kallis made 110. — AFP
