A 26-ball half-century from Dale Steyn carried South Africa to a declaration at 8-417 on the third afternoon of the second Test against West Indies at St. George's Park on Sunday.

The West Indies had claimed four wickets in the morning as the tourists enjoyed their best session of the series so far, but Steyn hammered 45 runs in 18 balls after lunch before his dismissal brought South Africa's declaration.

Steyn hit five sixes and six fours in a 28-ball innings that was finally ended when he hit Sulieman Benn to long-on to depart for 58.

The blitz gave South Africa the quick runs it was looking for after just six overs were bowled on a rain-hit second day.
