South Africa failed to make early inroads into West Indies' batting, after AB de Villiers and Jacques Kallis gathered resolute hundreds to fortify their position in the second Test.
The South Africans were hoping for a bag of early wickets, but West Indies captain Chris Gayle and fellow left-hander Narsingh Deonarine defied the Proteas' attack, as the home team reached 86 for one when bad light stopped play early on the second day at Warner Park.
De Villiers hit an undefeated 135 to top score for South Africa, and Kallis made 110, as the visitors declared on 543 for six in their first innings about 20 minutes after tea.
Morne Morkel gave the Proteas an early breakthrough, when Travis Dowlin was caught at third slip for 10 to leave West Indies 13 for one.
But the South Africans failed to make further headway, when Deonarine joined Gayle, and batted through the remainder of the evening under gloomy skies, even enduring a short stoppage for bad light.
Earlier, Kallis, who became the sixth batsman to score more than 11,000 runs in Tests, and de Villiers filled their troughs, as South Africa continued to plunder easy runs, after they continued from their overnight total of 295 for three.
South Africa lead the three-Test series 1-0, after they won the first Test by 163 runs inside four days last Sunday at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad.
