CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- Jacques Rudolph struck a stylish century against West Indies but South Africa lost a clatter of late wickets as honours were shared on day one of the third Test.
Rudolph's second Test hundred was his first on home soil, and helped the hosts close on 308 for six after winning the toss.
He received fine support from Neil McKenzie, who scored 76, with the pair adding 142 for the fourth wicket.
Left-hander Rudolph was dismissed shortly before stumps when he was trapped lbw for 101 by debutant left-arm spinner Dave Mohammed.
Three wickets in the last four overs of the day brought the West Indies back into the game, with Mohammed also bowling McKenzie off the inside edge.
South Africa's other concern was the retirement of all rounder Jacques Kallis after he was struck on the right elbow by a bouncer from Fidel Edwards.
X-rays revealed only bruising and swelling and Kallis will return to the crease if required later on in the innings.
