PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (Reuters) - Faf du Plessis scored his fourth test century but rain washed out almost the entire second day as South Africa closed on 289 for three in the second test against West Indies on Saturday.

Only six overs were possible before lunch, during which time the Proteas added 19 runs to their overnight total for the loss of Du Plessis.
