- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR87.3 and another one! Full and just outside off, nips back and Smith tries to go through the leg side again, misses and the ball cannons into his off-stump. Another good innings from the skipper. 327/335 and there he goes. McKenzie goes for the big square drive after Hossain bowls a wide half-volley. Scoops it just enough so that backward point can grab it out of the air. 102/186.4 gone! Amla seems to just have played around it a bit, got good swing and some movement off the deckand Amla edges it right into his stumps. Good innings comes to an end. 327/297.5 gone! Kallis, out of his nature, goes for the big shot over the top, and hits the ball straight down mid-on's throaght. 352/4101.3 gone, another stupid dismissal. De Villiers takes on the spinner on a deck with a lot of turn and bounce, he comes down the track and gets a fine little edge, either way he was 3 metres out of his crease and the keeper dislodged the bails just to be safe.Goodbye. 365/5111.2 and that's another one! Straight delivery deceiving Boucher who plays around it and top of off-stump is hit. 404/6115.3 and there goes another one. Morkel attempts the big sweep shot, gets the top edge and skyes the ball. Ashraful has to make some ground to get to that and does well. Good catch. 420/7118 Steyn goes for the big heave over the top. Gets a thick edge and the ball flies to point who takes a good diving catch. 427/8122.5 and that is the end. Ntini edges the ball through to the keeper.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3 what a ball! Swings back quite a bit towads the batsman, plays all around the ball and he hits off-stump out of the ground. 8/112 gone! little edge into the pads and up to Amla at short leg. That will be tea break. 33/39 down leg for the sixth time this over, Siddique attempts to flick it down to fine leg, but gets a leading edge and scopps it straight up to Prince at point. 26/212.4 and that's another one! Full and wide, flashy cover drive attempted, thick outside edge flies away to McKenzie at gully. 33/418 and there goes another one. Edge out to Boucher and that's the sixth wicket. 59/615.5 fifth wicket for the South Africans, Shakib tries to cut the ball away again, but too close to his body and edges it straight to De Villiers at third slip and he makes no mistake. 50/534.1 full and straight, plays all around it and hits him smack in front. 148/919.4 attempted pull goes all wrong, scoops it straight up to Harris at mid-wicket, that was not intelligent cricket, already got the two boundaries and now tries to pull another one. 71/724.2 scoops the ball straight back to the bowler who makes no mistake. 88/836.4 right in the blockhole, that's where you should bowl to a tail-ender. Bowls middle stump. 153/10Extras16 (b 4, lb 2, nb 6, w 4)TOTAL153 all out (36.4 Overs, RR: 4.17, 172 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-8 (Tamim Iqbal, 2.6 ov), 2-26 (Zunaed Siddique, 8.6 ov), 3-33 (Imrul Kayes, 11.6 ov), 4-33 (Mohammad Ashraful, 12.4 ov), 5-50 (Shakib Al Hasan, 15.5 ov), 6-59 (Mehrab Hossain jnr, 17.6 ov), 7-71 (Naeem Islam, 19.4 ov), 8-88 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 24.2 ov), 9-148 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 34.1 ov), 10-153 (Shahadat Hossain, 36.4 ov)
- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.5 first wicket of the morning. Short and very wide, takes a slash at it and edges the ball through to Boucher who takes a very easy catch. 45/22.3 unlucky, gets an inside edge onto his stumps, was slightly hesitant on whether top play or leave the ball, just let the bat hang out there and get the inside edge. 13/123.5 another wicket falls, same shot and same result as this morning's first wicket, short and wide, fine little snick through to Boucher. 67/332 Ntini goes around the wicket for the last delivery. Excellent line to bowl. Ashraful gets a thick edge out to McKenzie at gully. 80/432.4 another short one, attempts to cut the ball away but only manages a fine little snick through to Boucher who makes no mistake. 81/533.4 gone! Pushed to cover and attempts a quick-single. Great work by Prince and Amla sees him packing and back on his way too the changeroom. 81/637 gone! Just pushed at a delivery just outside off, maybe just a bit too late on the shot there. Beaten by pace. 92/740.5 this time Steyn doesn't miss, uproots off-stump and that's eight down, two to go. 108/848.5 finally gets the full straight delivery. Hossain swings again, but this time Steyn hits the stumps. 152/951.5 and that's the end, Alam scoops the ball up to Prince at mid-on 159/10Extras27 (b 7, lb 17, nb 3)TOTAL159 all out (f/o) (51.5 Overs, RR: 3.06, 245 minutes)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Imrul Kayes, 2.3 ov), 2-45 (Tamim Iqbal, 15.5 ov), 3-67 (Zunaed Siddique, 23.5 ov), 4-80 (Mohammad Ashraful, 31.6 ov), 5-81 (Shakib Al Hasan, 32.4 ov), 6-81 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 33.4 ov), 7-92 (Naeem Islam, 36.6 ov), 8-108 (Mashrafe Mortaza, 40.5 ov), 9-152 (Shahadat Hossain, 48.5 ov), 10-159 (Mahbubul Alam, 51.5 ov)

Siddons hopes batsmen are learning
Bangladesh are facing an innings defeat in the first Test against South Africa in Bloemfontein but their coach Jamie Siddons was not frustrated by their woeful batting performance
