29 December 2007
At tea on day four, the Proteas had recovered from a poor start to reach 138 for four in pursuit of a victory target of 389.
Destroyer: Daren Powell ripped through the top order
Kallis was the star in the afternoon session, stabilising the innings with a beautifully-crafted knock.
He received useful support in the shape of AB de Villiers, who was unbeaten on 31 at the interval.
Earlier, Daren Powell and Fidel Edwards ripped through the hosts' top order to put the West Indies in control.
At lunch, the home side had limped on to 45 for three.
Powell set the ball rolling by trapping Herschelle Gibbs leg before wicket with the batsman failing to offer a shot. It was Gibbs' second duck of the match.
Edwards then got in on the act by claiming the wickets of Hashim Amla and South Africa captain Graeme Smith.
Amla got an outside edge to wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin having made eight, while Smith made just 11 before fending off a short delivery to Daren Ganga at short-leg.
At the start of the day, left-armer Paul Harris accounted for the two remaining Windies wickets as the tourists, who held a 213-run first innings lead, were dismissed for 175 in their second knock.
They started day four on 146 for eight with Jerome Taylor and Powell at the crease.
Powell did not last long, bowled by Harris for six, via an inside edge.
Taylor contributed a feisty 22 from just 28 balls before he was caught at long-on by Andre Nel.
Harris' double saw him finish the innings with figures of four for 35.
