8.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Phehlukwayo strikes first blood! A much-needed one as the two were going great guns. Excellent bowling change by Faf. Phehlukwayo lands it on a length and around off, it pitches and then moves away. Tamim plays inside the line and the ball kisses the outside edge and goes into the mitts of de Kock. AP is delighted. Can South Africa build on this now? 60/1

11.4 OUT! In the air... taken! Good catch by Quinton de Kock. Once again, the change of bowling works for South Africa. Morris makes an impact straightaway after being brought into the XI. A good short ball and it is very well-directed. Sarkar looks to pull but the ball hurries onto him. It hits the glove and lobs behind towards the keeper. De Kock runs in, dives forward and takes it brilliantly. Sarkar trudges off slowly after getting a start. Both the openers now back in the hut. South Africa back in the game. 75/2

35.1 OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Imran Tahir strikes! Produces the magic his skipper needed so desperately. End of the 142-run stand. Shakib moves right across and looks to sweep but the ball is very full to do so. He misses and the stumps behind is disturbed. Tahir is off in his celebratory run. Shakib walks back after playing a lovely knock. He has set the platform for the batters coming. South Africa though have a good chance now to pull things back. 217/3

42.1 OUT! TAKEN! Another set batsman walks back at the wrong time for Bangladesh. 320 looks farfetched now. All the pressure built in the previous two overs has paid off. Andile Phehlukwayo gets his second. He sees the batsman coming down the track and bangs it short. Rahim had also made room so he cuts it hard but does not keep it down. It goes towards deep point where Rassie takes a neat catch. A fine knock comes to an end but understandably Rahim is looking dejected as he didn't finish things off well. 250/5

39.4 OUT! Bowled! The 40-year young man is up and running again! Tahir gets his second wicket in his 100th ODI. The leggie bowls a wonderful top spinner on off, Mithun looks to slog sweep but gets an inside edge onto the leg pole. Tahir pulling things back for his side here. He did not start off well but has bounced back strongly. Bangladesh still have their main man, Mushfiqur Rahim out in the middle and they would hope he stays there till the end. 242/4

49 OUT! Morris finally has something to smile about. A handy innings from Hossain comes to an end. A low full toss on middle, Mosaddek looks to go over mid off but it goes off the bottom part of his blade to Phehlukwayo at the edge of the circle. A wicket to end but 14 from the over too. 316/6

9.4 OUT! Run out! That too after a dropped catch! Rahim would be a really happy person here. A flatter ball outside off, de Kock looks to cut this away but gets a feather behind which Rahim cannot hold on to. The ball goes fine on the leg side and de Kock is watching his partner who initially calls him for a run. But seeing the keeper reach the ball quickly, Markram sends de Kock back. By that time though, Quinton is too far down the ground and has no chance of making it back. Rahim calmly scores a direct hit at the striker's end and that means the southpaw has to head back to the pavilion. Lots of confusion and this is what it leads to, the loss of the first wicket! 49/1

19.4 OUT! Straight through him! 250TH ODI WICKET FOR SHAKIB! And what a time to get it. His team needed a wicket and he has provided it. It is the slider and it lands on middle and comes in with the angle. Markram makes the mistake of staying back and trying to whip it. He misses and the stumps are disturbed. He walks back disappointed after getting off to a start. Game once again evenly poised. 229 more needed in 182. Also, Shakib has become the fifth player in ODIs to take 250 wickets and score 5000-plus runs. What an asset he is for Bangladesh! 102/2

26.4 OUT! TIMBER! Mehedi Hasan has turned the game on its head here! A huge wicket this. The South African skipper who was looking so good out there is taking the long walk back. Mehedi is very delighted and the Bangladesh players are ecstatic! The bowler slows this up and lands it on off. Faf dances down the track and looks to play a big shot but misses as the ball spins back in to hit the leg stump. Faf walks back after a top knock but his team needed him to stay longer. 184 needed in 140 balls. 147/3

35.1 OUT! Gone! Massive, massive breakthrough for Bangladesh and the crowd is going mad! Mustafizur this time angles in a length ball around off and Miller stretches forward to flick it on the leg side. But he closes the face of his bat early and the leading edge flies straight into the hands of Mehedi at point. He makes no mistake and this match continues to keep everyone on the edge. 129 needed off 89 balls. 202/4

39.1 OUT! Timberrrrr! Yet another bowled dismissal in this innings and this is a body blow to South Africa. Full in length and in the line of the stumps, Rassie winds up for a big hoick across the line over the leg side but misses the ball completely. The stumps are shattered! Not a very smart shot attempted, must say. 103 needed off 65 balls. 228/5

47.1 OUT! Duminy drags it on and it's heartbreak for South Africa. Joy for the Bangladesh supporters. Mustafizur speeds in and digs in a short ball around off, JP walks down the track to play the pull shot but the bounce gets big on him and he ends up dragging it onto the stumps. Third wicket for the Fizz and the Bangla Tigers are roaring in this match. 287/8

42.5 OUT! Outstanding catch under pressure by Shakib Al Hasan. The Bangla star shines again and Bangladesh are inching towards a win here. Nothing much in the delivery, a rank full toss around off, Phehlukwayo packs a punch through the line but fails to keep it down. Shakib reacts quickly at extra cover and goes down low to his left to take a sharp catch with a tumble. Saifuddin roars in delight! 252/6

45.5 OUT! Caught in the deep and Morris departs! Mustafizur continues to have a terrific day. Short and around off, it is there to be hit and Morris hits. Pulls this with aplomb and on normal grounds, this would have cleared the ropes. but this side of the Oval is a bit long and Morris finds Soumya Sarkar at deep mid-wicket! Need not be the final nail in the coffin but the target is now looking very steep for the Proteas. 275/7
