Temba Bavuma tried to “stay in the moment” before claiming his second Test century – and first in seven years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

South Africa’s new Test captain ended Friday on 171 not out to help his team into a strong position on day three of the second Test against West Indies.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bavuma has hit 20 half-centuries in 56 Tests but his only previous century was against England in January 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has been a long journey,” said the 32-year-old. “There have been a lot more downs than ups.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Bavuma and Wiaan Mulder put on a sixth-wicket stand of 103 to help the hosts to 287-7 in their second innings at the Wanderers Stadium, giving them an overall lead of 356.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bavuma, who <\/span>replaced Dean Elgar as the Proteas’ Test captain<\/span><\/a> last month, scored three singles to get to 99 before reaching treble figures with one of his 20 boundaries. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I tried to stay in the moment as much as I could,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But when I got to 96 or so, the crowd’s energy started picking up in anticipation. My emotions also started picking up.”<\/span><\/p>\n

South Africa won the first Test<\/span><\/a> of the two-Test series at Centurion by 87 runs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
