Ridley Jacobs hit a maiden Test century as West Indies were bowled out for 387 on the fourth day of the third Test against South Africa.

But then an uncharacteristic collapse by South Africa gave West Indies a glimmer of hope in Barbados.

The tourists ended the day on 52-3 - an overall lead of 119 at the Kensington Oval.

Earlier wicket keeper Jacobs became the first West Indian to score a century against South Africa.

Jacobs has been left stranded in the 90s twice in his career but he made certain it would not happen again with two mighty blows that cleared the ropes and brought up his century.

Celebration

Jacobs struck his landmark score off 161 deliveries and it included 10 fours and four sixes.

He launched a short ball from left arm spinner Nicky Boje over square leg to reach 96 before scrambling a single to bring up 97.

The first two deliveries of Makhaya Ntini's next over were played to fielders but the third appeared to take the edge of the bat and carry to wicket keeper Mark Boucher.
