Gibbs top-scored after coming to the crease when South Africa had slumped to six for two in the fourth over.
He anchored the rest of the innings, and shared half-century stands with Jacques Kallis, Mark Boucher and Shaun Pollock.
Gibbs and Kallis consolidated with a stand of 69 for the third wicket that was ended when leg-spinner Kumble had Kallis caught behind by wicketkeeper Mahendra Dhoni for 49.
