Ashwell Prince and AB de Villiers revived South Africa with an unbroken stand of 83 for the sixth wicket in the opening Test against West Indies yesterday.

Prince was 42 not out with De Villiers unbeaten on 40 as the South Africans reached 190 for five in their first innings at lunch on the second day at Queen's Park Oval.

De Villiers and left-hander Prince gave some much-needed backbone to the Proteas' innings, after they had slumped to 107 for five in the first hour.

South Africa, who began the day on their overnight total of 70 for three, suffered an early blow when night-watchman Paul Harris was caught at cover for 10 off Benn in the fifth over of the day.

The two sides also play Tests in St. Kitts (June 18-22) and Barbados (June 26-30).
