South Africa beat the West Indies by 82 runs on the final day of the Fourth Test.

The win at the Antigua Recreation Ground on Tuesday gives the tourists an unassailable 2-0 lead in the five-match series.

West Indies were all out for 240, chasing 323 for what would have been a series-leveling win.

Nicky Boje's runs and wickets were crucial

Captain Shaun Pollock seized three West Indies wickets as they slipped from their overnight 101 for four to 187 for eight an hour after lunch at the Antigua Recreation Ground.

Brian Lara was in defiant mood with an unbeaten 57, having completed his half-century in a little under three hours off 144 balls and including five fours and the six.

Pollock had undermined West Indies in the morning with a double strike that accounted for Ramnaresh Sarwan, caught by wicketkeeper Mark Boucher off a perfect away swinger for 26, and Ridley Jacobs, who went without scoring when he drove a slower ball loosely to mid-off.

Lucky to escape

The West Indians were 140 for six at lunch, and Pollock struck again after the interval to ended the obdurate resistance of debutant Neil McGarrell.

McGarrell pushed forward and offered a straightforward chance to Justin Kemp at silly mid-off, having made six off 40 deliveries.

Lara began to play his shots after lunch, although he was lucky to escape when a pull off left-arm spinner Nicky Boje only narrowly cleared Herschelle Gibbs at backward square-leg before buoncing over the ropes.

He then made absolutely sure Gibbs would get nowhere near the ball with a one-handed pull off the same bowler which landed high in the stands.

But two balls later, Boje struck for the fourth time in the innings, Mervyn Dillon glovng a catch to Daryll Cullinan at slip to be on his way for one.
