Onto their batting now, Bangladesh really need to dig in. They wicket is a good one to bat on but they'll need to show a lot of application. South Africa on the other hand, will hope to build pressure by bowling the right lines and lengths and also hope the wicket wears off and they do get some assistance. Stay tuned for the reply.

For Bangladesh, it was hard work on a placid wicket! Their bowlers hardly got any assistance. The thing they'll be disappointed with is the ease they let the visitors score. Taijul Islam though yet again impressed with a five-fer but for the others, it was an effort to forget.

End of a marathon batting effort from South Africa! They won the toss, elected to bat and the batters responded in emphatic fashion. Three batters scored tons. Tony, Stubbs and Mulder. There were fifties from David Bedingham and Senuran Muthusamy too and that's what helped them to pile up a massive score on the board.

SIX! Bang! Brings it up in style! Top knock. He gets a juicy half volley on middle. He just lifts it down the ground and it goes all the way. Raises his bat, takes his helmet off and soaks in the applause. Also, that's the end of the South African innings as they have DECLARED!
