Rain interrupted the first Test between South Africa and West Indies, with South Africa at 45-1. Aiden Markram was dismissed for nine by Jason Holder in the 14th over. Kemar Roach kept Markram on the back foot, but it was Holder's delivery that knocked out his off-stump.

Tony de Zorzi remained unbeaten on 32, while Tristan Stubbs was not out on two when play was halted during the tea break. The rain led to the abandonment of play for the day, resulting in a loss of 75 overs in Trinidad.

The match will resume early on day two, with play scheduled to start at 3:30 pm CAT. The early start aims to make up for the lost time due to rain interruptions.

Play has been called off for the day. Day 2 will get underway at 3:30pm CAT tomorrow. vs #WozaNawe #BePartOfIt#SAvWI pic.twitter.com/r6hpnNBlCv
