Rain played spoilsport on Day 1 of the first Test between South Africa and West Indies, limiting play to just 15 overs. 

Opting to bat first, South Africa started solidly despite losing opener Aiden Markram early. Markram's dismissal came off the first ball bowled by Jason Holder, who made an immediate impact for the hosts.

Tony de Zorzi anchored the innings, remaining unbeaten on 32, showing promise with some fine strokes. He was joined by Tristan Stubbs, who is yet to make an impact. The Proteas ended the curtailed day at 50/1, with de Zorzi looking set to build a significant innings.

Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales opened the bowling for the West Indies, maintaining a tight line, but it was Holder's early breakthrough that gave the hosts a reason to celebrate. The pitch appeared favorable for batting, but the persistent rain may alter conditions, potentially slowing down the outfield.

An exciting Day 2 awaits as both teams look to capitalize on the opportunities. The weather forecast promises better conditions, setting the stage for a thrilling contest ahead.
