Paceman Dale Steyn bowled South Africa to a series victory over West Indies in the third Test on Saturday.

Steyn claimed 6-72 as South Africa won by an innings and 100 runs with two days to spare to wrap up a 2-1 series win. West Indies, who needed 417 to make South Africa bat again, were dismissed for 317 with Marlon Samuels on 105 as their top scorer.  West Indies, who resumed on 23 without loss, lost their first wicket in the fourth over of the day when Steyn trapped debutant Brenton Parchment in front for 20.

Samuels and Dwayne Bravo halted the slide with a stand that reached 144 before Bravo was trapped in front by Steyn for 75 in the first over after tea.

Samuels batted conservatively while Bravo took on the bowlers early in the partnership.

Steyn ripped through the tail with the second new ball, taking the last three wickets to fall while just 12 runs were added to the total.
