SA vs BAN Live Cricket Score

130.2 OUT! Who would have guessed this? Elgar bows out on 199! Once again Rahman bangs it short. Dean gets in two minds, he shapes up to pull but then thinks of leaving it. In the end, he plays a half-pull and that proves to be his undoing. The ball takes the top edge and skies over in the mid-wicket region. Mominul Haque, takes a couple of steps back and gobbles the cherry with a reverse cup. Such a sad time to get out, just a run short of his maiden double ton. Even his teammates in the dressing room can't believe it and have their hands on head. Nonetheless, it was a top, top innings from Elgar. He walks away disappointed but acknowledges the applause of the crowd.  445/3

54.2 OUT! Dear me, Markram is run out on 97! He is dejected on his way back to the pavilion. Elgar too is disappointed and is down on his haunches. Aiden wanted his partner to get to the century and hence was backing up too much. Once Elgar played it towards point and took a head start, Markram came rushing down seeing that. But Dean stuttered after watching the point fielder attacking the ball. He tried sending him back but Markram was too much down the track. Had no hope of returning and meanwhile the ball was parried to the bowler who took the bails off. An unfortunate end to a promising knock by the debutant. Bangladesh finally have a breakthrough out of nowhere.  196/1

117.3 OUT! Shafiul with the breakthrough! Very unlike Amla, he has fallen prey to a loose shot. Back of a length delivery outside off, Amla doesn't move his feet at all and tries to slash it away. Gets an outside edge and the ball flies straight to Mehedi Hasan at backward point. Finally, a Bangladeshi bowler has got a wicket to his name in this match. It's a milestone wicket as it's the 70,000th Test wicket to fall. This reminds us since how long, the purest format of cricket is being played. Coming back to the wicket, one might still wonder, how he played such a loose shot. End of the 215-run stand.  411/2

10.2 OUT! Edged and gone! Morne Morkel gets his first now. He keeps on probing in the channel just outside off, holding its line maybe after landing, Das has an unnecessary push inside the line and gets a big fat outside edge to first slip. Hashim Amla accepts the catch with ease and Bangladesh lose their second wicket.  36/2

5.4 OUT! Imrul Kayes is bounced out! It's quick, it's aggressive, it's a well-directed short delivery - that's the skill of Kagiso Rabada. Completely hurries up the batsman, Kayes tries to fend it off but fails to control his shot. Edges it behind to gully where Aiden Markram takes a good safe catch. Kagiso Rabada can generate this kind of bounce on any pitch. What a bowler! Dealing with short pitched deliveries has been a perennial issue for the batsmen from the subcontinent. Early blow to Bangladesh.  16/1

63.3 OUT! Another smart, sharp catch by South Africa. It is Markram this time who takes it at short leg. Keshav floats it on middle, gets it to turn in and bounce sharply. Mominul goes on the back foot and tries to work it on the leg side but fails to keep it down. Markram at short leg, moves to his left, bends down low and takes a very good catch. A wicket after the break, just what South Africa needed. They are all delighted. Haque departs after playing a very good knock for his team. He is disappointed as he walks back. Half the side is back in the hut for Bangladesh now.  227/5

25.1 OUT! Finally, Maharaj can afford to smile. He has a wicket to his name after a couple of chances going down off his bowling. Rahim runs out of luck this time. A flighted ball on middle, Rahim takes a stride forward to defend but it skids through to catch the inside edge. Markram at short leg shows good reflexes to grab the ball. They appeal and the finger goes up. The stand is broken and Bangladesh lose their skipper. Big blow.  103/3

45.3 OUT! Phehlukwayo gets his first Test wicket! A huge, huge one. Tamim is the man who has to depart. A lot of credit has to be given to de Kock as he pulls out a brilliant catch. The bowling change has done the job. Not the best delivery bowled by Andile, but he won't mind. He angles it down the leg side, Iqbal flicks it but too close to the keeper who dives full stretch to his right and takes it with one hand. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The South Africans are ecstatic. Tamim walks back dejected as he knows he should have put that away. A good partnership comes to an end.  158/4

83.4 OUT! Another one chops it on! The new cherry has done the trick. Morne Morkel has his right hand aloft. Why would you play at it in the first place Mahmudullah? Morne from over the wicket, drops it on a back of a length outside off, Mahmudullah could have easily let it go but for some reason feels for it which proves to be his undoing. An inside edge is taken which goes on the bounce to hit the woodwork behind. South Africa rejoice! A hard fought knock comes to end.  304/7

80.1 OUT! Drags it on! Against the run of play, South Africa have a wicket! It's Duanne Olivier who has his first and boy, isn't he charged up! Comes running in, bends his back to hit the deck hard, gets a good amount of bounce from around off as Sabbir is caught off guard. He looks to keep it out by hopping a bit but it takes the inside edge before disturbing the furniture behind. Once again the partnership that was building is broken at the right time by the Proteas. Bangladesh still need 5 runs to avoid the follow-on.  292/6

86.2 OUT! Rabada strikes! A wicket immediately after the break. A quick bouncer by Rabada on middle. Mehedi goes on the back foot and tries to keep it down but the ball gets big on him. It takes the shoulder of his bat and then lobs to Elgar at third slip who takes it easily. Bangladesh are nine down now. They still trail by 188.  308/9

84.1 OUT! Run out! Temba Bavuma, outstanding work! So quick this bloke is. Good length delivery on off, Taskin Ahmed with an open face bat places it towards backward point before taking off. Bavuma there comes quickly to his left and makes a great one-handed diving stop. Hasan seeing this sends his partner back but it is too late. Temba gets up, throws the ball at the striker's end where Markram runs forward from short leg and takes the bails off. Taskin not even in the frame. Two quick wickets for South Africa here. Bangladesh imploding!  305/8

89.1 OUT! That's it, BANGLADESH HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 320. Maharaj gets his third. He tosses it up on off, gets it to turn away from the batsman. Islam tries to defend it but gets an outside edge to Amla at first slip who takes a low catch diving to his left. The South African players are all smile.  320/10

11 OUT! The change of angle does the trick for Mustafizur! Markram departs early this time. The Fizz rolls his fingers on the ball and bowls it full outside off. Inviting Markram to drive, he obliges but gets an outside edge in doing so to the keeper who takes it. Two early wickets for Bangladesh and they are a happy bunch at the moment. Now then, replays show that there was a gap between bat and ball, also, there is no spike on Ultra Edge as the ball passes the bat. Why didn't Markram review? Maybe he thought he had hit it. Strange, really strange. As a batsman, you mostly will know when you have not hit. The noise there clearly came when the bat hit the pitch. Unlucky. In spite of having all the technology and the new rules, there is a sorry dismissal.  38/2

7.3 OUT! Islam strikes! Elgar has to walk back and also takes a review with him. Shafiul comes running in and lands it on a length around off, the ball jags back in sharply. Elgar who walks across a long way, tries to flick but fails to do so and the ball strikes the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Elgar straightaway reviews. Replays show three reds and the on-field call stands. That's hitting the leg pole.  30/1

20.1 OUT! Another one with the cutter. A similar one to Markram but this time Amla has edged it. The Fizz bowls it fuller outside off, gets it to grip and move away from the batsman. Amla goes for the drive away from the body but gets an outside edge to Das who takes it easily. The players appeal and Amla starts to walk. An early wicket for Bangladesh, just what they wanted and it is the big one of Hashim Amla.  70/3

51 OUT! Yes, it is! Take a bow, Das! That was very good anticipation by him and does very well to cling on. Bavuma and the whole of the South African dressing room cannot believe it. Temba tries to paddle it and he does so to the ball on off. Das behind anticipates and moves to his left, he sticks a hand out and the ball sticks in the glove as he tumbles to complete it. The umpires go upstairs to check whether he has taken it and replays show he has. What a catch that is. A moment to celebrate for Bangladesh. The home side leads by 394.  217/5

48.5 OUT! Faf du Plessis misses out on a ton! Mominul gets his first. He fires an arm ball on off, the batsman goes down on one knee as he tries to paddle sweep but misses and is struck on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Faf after a chat opts to review and replays show that the there are three reds and the on field call stays.  212/4

52.3 OUT! The part timer has taken a 3-fer! Again, brilliant work by Liton Das. He is having a great time behind the stumps. De Kock comes down the track and seeing that, Haque fires it down the leg side. Quinton misses the flick and Das behind the stumps collects the ball and dives to take the bails off the stumps. Brilliant work and smart bowling.  222/6

0.4 OUT! KABOOM! What a start for South Africa! Tamim Iqbal the big fish has to depart. Morne Morkel delivers an absolute peach to get him out. A big error in judgement by the southpaw. Morkel comes running in and bowls it a touch fuller outside off, getting it to shape into the batsman. Tamim plays it with his bat behind the pads and the ball hits the top of off pole. The South Africans are ecstatic and a huge blow for the visitors.  0/1

15.3 OUT! Right at the stroke of tea, Kayes has to depart! A very sharp catch by Quinton de Kock. Maharaj bowls an arm ball outside off, Kayes plays for the turn but there isn't any. The ball takes the outside edge and de Kock behind the stumps hangs onto it. Kayes is walking back after a start. It is also TEA ON DAY 4!  49/3

1 OUT! Two in the over! The man who played so well in the first innings is walking back early. Two wickets in the first over of the innings! A dream start for South Africa. Morkel again bowls it fuller in length on middle, swings back into the batsman. Mominul tries to flick but misses and is struck on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Haque has a chat with his partner but walks away. Wait a minute now, replays show that it was missing leg by a long way. Even with technology available he opts not to review and Bangladesh are in big trouble now.  0/2

17.3 OUT! Rabada strikes! An early wicket! Amla who till day before yesterday did not want to stand in the slip cordon, takes a sharp catch. A big wicket, Mushfiqur Rahim, the skipper, is walking back. Kagiso comes steaming in, goes wide of the crease and bangs it short around off. The ball bounces a touch more as it was an effort ball from KG. Rahim pokes at it, away from the body and gets an outside edge which flies to Amla at first slip who jumps and takes it at head height. Faf in delight gives him a nice hug as he falls on the ground after completing the catch. Good gesture by him!  55/4

21.5 OUT! Drags it on! Rabada gets his second! He is making sure the home side do not miss the absence of Morkel. He comes running in and and bowls it on a length around off, gets it to jag back in off the surface. Mahmudullah with minimal footwork, tries to defend it away from his body. He gets an inside edge in trying to do so and the ball goes onto shatter the leg stump. Mahmudullah who played well in the first innings is walking back early. South Africa looking for a quick finish here? Half the side back for Bangladesh now.  62/5

23.3 OUT! Three reds! Das, what were you thinking? A brain-fade maybe. Rabada gets his third. He is breathing fire. He goes wide of the crease and bowls an inswinger on off, which comes into Das who does not offer a shot. The ball hits him flush on the pads. The South Africans appeal and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. Das goes to his partner, has a chat and then opts to review. Replays show that it was plumb and the on-field call stays. That was a review in desperation. Bangladesh also lose a review. South Africa need another 4 wickets now.  67/6

24.2 OUT! Another one bites the dust! Sabbir Rahman is the man walking back. The South Africans are making quick work of the Bangladeshi batsmen. Maharaj is the man this time. It was absolutely stone dead. Keshav tosses it up on middle, turns away ever so slightly. Sabbir goes down on one knee and tries to sweep but misses and is hit on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Rahman thinks about a review but decides against it. Maharaj gets his second.  67/7

26.5 OUT! A disastrous morning for Bangladesh! They are just falling apart like a pack of cards! South Africa have surely not missed Morkel till now! Maharaj flights it outside off, turns back in sharply, also stays low. Taskin goes on the back foot and tries to flick but misses and is struck low on the pads. The players appeal and the umpire straightaway raises his finger. Taskin reviews immediately but in hope because that looked dead. Replays show three reds again and Ahmed has to walk back. 2 wickets away now, South Africa.  71/8

28 OUT! To make matters worse, there is a run out now. A completely needless one. Olivier bowls it a touch fuller on off, Mehedi times his drive beautifully through mid off. They complete two and go for the third. Parnell, the substitute fielder from mid off gives it a chase, collects the ball and back flips it to Rabada who also comes running towards the ball from mid on. He fires in a rocket throw towards the keeper which is just over the bails. De Kock is quick to collect it and whips the bails off to find Islam short of his crease. End is nigh for Bangladesh!  75/9

32.4 OUT! That's the final nail in the coffin! A terrific victory for the Proteas. They have been clinical throughout and are the deserved winners. Slow through the air outside off, Rahman strides forward and ends up chipping it straight towards Maharaj. He leaps and pouches it safely. Big smile on the faces of the hosts' players. Customary handshakes all around as well. SOUTH AFRICA WIN BY 333 RUNS!  90/10
