We're all set. Overcast but good to go. Here's Taylor
Toss: The Prime Minister of Dominica tosses the coin and it lands in the ocean. Ok, it falls somewhere on the practice pitch. South Africa have won the toss and they have opted to bat first. Just the one change - Charl Langeveldt has come in for Lonwabo Tsotsobe, who hurt his foot.
Three changes for West Indies. Nikita Miller, Ramnaresh Sarwan are injured and Deonarine has been dropped. Benn, Darren Bravo and Chanderpaul are in.
The conditions are a little overcast but nothing to worry. There could be some extra bounce early on, says Jeff Dujon, and the spinners should get more turn later in the afternoon, compared to the conditions in Antigua.
8.55: Good day wherever you are and welcome to Cricinfo's coverage of the third ODI between West Indies and South Africa in Windsor Park, Dominica. The toss is about five minutes away. Stay with us for updates.
Two games down and West Indies are under immense pressure to record their first win in the series. For more, read the preview of this match.
Still waiting for news of the toss. Here's an update on the West Indian camp. Chris Gayle has picked up a virus but will be available for the game. Chanderpaul will also play.

Benn to Kallis,
OUT,
just a hint of doubt whether Sammy was in control of the ball long enough after taking the catch, Kallis cuts it on the up towards Sammy at point, the ball travels low and Sammy picks it inches off the turf, he caught it alright but he pushed the ball away after a couple of seconds, not exactly Gibbs in the 1999 World Cup but it looked clean enough on seeing the replay, Kallis lurked around for a few seconds and glanced at the umpire, he was prepared to walk and the umpire just checked with Sammy once again if it was clean - no arguments, settled

1.10pm: So SA are guilty of not playing out 50 overs. They started off well and were progressing at 6 an over for close to 20 overs but were suddenly tied down. de Villiers played a steady knock but there was no real threatening stand developing. As the pressure to score increased, wickets fell, including a passage where three fell for one run. Good fielding also contributed to Windies' cause.
Windies shouldn't fluff this one as they are already 0-2 down. Find out what happens when you join us at 1.45pm
