PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad — West Indies still trails South Africa by 212 runs after Keshav Maharaj’s three wickets helped frustrate the hosts on a rain-affected Day 3 of the first test at the Queen’s Park Oval.

Jomel Warrican had Kagiso Rabada caught behind to finish with 4-69, and Jayden Seales bowled No. 11 Lungi Ngidi.
