Gavin Kaplan scored an uitspatlik 173 runs as Western Province notched up a helse 592/6 declared in their first innings of their 4-Day Series clash against the Dolphins at Newlands on Thursday.

Batting at No.4, Kaplan and Kyle Verreynne (135) took the game away from their log-leading visitors with a superb 232-run fourth-wicket stand.

With opener Daniel Smith scoring 106 and Tony de Zorzi adding 72, Province could declare knowing the result is safe on Day Two.

Requiring a win in the final match of the round-robin phase to stand a chance of making the final of the tournament, WP needed wickets early on.

They took five quick wickets spinner Kyle Simmonds taking 2/28 to give themselves a good shot at winning the match.

When play resumes at 10am today,the Dolphins will ask for guard on 175/5 with Jon-Jon Smuts (3*) and Eathan Bosch (13*) at the crease.
