- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 soft, soft dismissal! Darted in full on middle and off. Markram advances, perhaps wanting to go downtown. Gets too close to the ball, though, it seems, and he fails to get under it as much as he would have wanted. Chips it up and picks out mid on to absolute perfection. They are checking if it was a bump-ball but it most certainly wasn't. Right off the toe-end and Bangladesh have a breakthrough against the run of play! 69/1100.6 big appeal, and Joel Wilson's finger goes up! One has indeed brought two! Floated up full on middle and leg. de Zorzi has a swipe across the line and for a change, misses his sweep. Gets rapped on the front pad half-way up, and this looks pretty adjacent. de Zorzi has reviewed but this could be more in hope. No bat involved and Ball Tracking has the ball smashing into the middle of middle stump. Three reds and de Zorzi's monumental effort finally comes to an end! 391/473.4 keeps low, and Taijul goes through Stubbs! Shortish on middle and off, and Stubbs, looking at the length, stays leg side to play the back-foot punch. The ball skids through, though, and keeps a hint low. Scratches the toe-end and crashes into the stumps. Taijul has his second and Stubbs is absolutely livid with himself. Take nothing away from this knock and it has put South Africa in pole position to put up a big first-innings total! 270/298.2 six and out! Taijul has three, and leg stump has been flattened! Pushed in slightly quicker and fuller on middle stump. Bedingham, having cleared his front leg, tries to go too square and picks a ball that is too full to be playing that stroke. The ball comes in with the arm, goes past his swing and knocks leg stump out of his groove. Some much-needed respite for Bangladesh! 386/3113.2 nicked and gone! Nahid Rana gets a much-deserved breakthrough! Back of a length, slanting across the batter outside off. Rickelton goes feeling for it without any confident footwork. Fences at it in the end and the ball scrapes the bottom of the bat before nestling into Mahidul's gloves. Might have kept a touch low too, but Nahid and Bangladesh will not mind one bit! 423/6102.3 looks awfully close, and the finger goes up again! Verreynne trapped in front, and Taijul has five! Darted in full on middle and off, perhaps knowing that Verreynne will look to sweep after seeing two balls spin prodigiously. That is exactly what transpires but the ball, like it was for Bedingham, is too full for Verreynne. Gets pinned on the back leg and this too seems a review in hope. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking has the ball thundering into the middle of middle stump. Another ordinary review, and South Africa have been rocked thrice in quick succession! 391/5Extras15 (b 10, lb 1, nb 3, w 1)TOTAL575/6d (144.2 Overs, RR: 3.98)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Aiden Markram, 17.1 ov), 2-270 (Tristan Stubbs, 73.4 ov), 3-386 (David Bedingham, 98.2 ov), 4-391 (Tony de Zorzi, 100.6 ov), 5-391 (Kyle Verreynne, 102.3 ov), 6-423 (Ryan Rickelton, 113.2 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.5 South Africa appeal in patches, and they decide to go upstairs! Length ball that shapes down leg. Shadman seems to miss it but South Africa think he has tickled this through to Verreynne. The keeper, it must be said, was one of those interested, along with Rabada. And for reason. There is a clear spike when the ball is next to the bat, and Shadman, on a flat deck, has been strangled down leg - would you believe it! 10/15.5 taken at second slip! Like the previous ball, Joy presses forward to drive away from his body, but this time the it's fuller, and it's moving away. Takes the edge, and it's a low catch snapped up in the cordon! 29/34.2 edged! Comes around the stumps. Length ball outside off and zipping straight through. Zakir pushes at it, and Verreynne appeals for the catch! Given, Rabada is also convinced, and so is the umpire. But Zakir reviews, and that's a wasted review. Clear spike on the replay. The new Test bowling world No. 1 gets a second wicket 21/242.1 thumped on the pads, and the dreaded finger goes up! That looked pretty plumb! Fizzed through on a length just outside off. Mominul looks at the flatter trajectory and thinks he can play it off the back foot. Not quite. The ball pitches, and fizzes back into him. Rushes him for pace, goes past the inside edge and raps him right in front. No hesitation from Joel Wilson and Mominul reviews because, well, why not. There are murmurs all the way through, but nothing really conclusive. Third umpire Nition Menon says he is not sure about bat being involved because there was plenty of movement elsewhere (because the foot was in motion and also because the spike was not very discernible) and moves on to Ball Tracking. Three reds over there and Mominul's vigil comes to an end! 151/96.6 the nightwatcher fails to nightwatch! Full ball delivered from wide of the crease. Drifts and lands around middle. Ball turns away after pitching, and it crashes into middle and off stump. Hasan fends down the wrong line and has to walk back. 32/412.5 and there's the wicket, with Rabada adding a third. This was a length ball just outside off and the ball spits up after pitching. Shanto caught in two minds, neither defending nor driving, and his poke has taken an edge to the wicketkeeper. Shade of away movement after pitching as well. 46/513.3 straight to square leg! Mushfiqur falls for a duck, a soft dismissal. Full ball, Mushfiqur turns the bat to clip it in front of square on the leg side but ends up popping a simple catch to de Zorzi at square leg. 47/614.1 another edge! In the channel just outside off and Mehidy's half-hearted push takes the outside edge to Verreynne. Length ball targeting off stump, jags away slightly. Mehidy's bat gets a kiss and that brings his demise 48/714.3 shoulders arms, ball nips back, and he's been given lbw! Length ball originating outside off and angling in. Ankon offers no shot, raising his bat above his head, but the ball jags in sharply, and raps him on the knee roll. The umpire was quick to raise his finger and the review's replay shows the ball clipping off stump. "Umpire's call", so Ankon's stay will last only two balls. Rabada claims another five-for 48/845.2 that will be that! No need for DRS this time! Lobbed up outside off, enticing Taijul to go downtown. He takes up the invitation but makes a complete hash of it. Cloths it back to Maharaj, who pouches it to his right. A tame end to what was generally a tame innings, barring that one massive partnership. And, confirmation has come in that South Africa have enforced the follow-on! 159/10Extras22 (b 7, nb 10, pen 5)TOTAL159 all out (45.2 Overs, RR: 3.5)Fall of wickets: 1-10 (Shadman Islam, 0.5 ov), 2-21 (Zakir Hasan, 4.2 ov), 3-29 (Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 5.5 ov), 4-32 (Hasan Mahmud, 6.6 ov), 5-46 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 12.5 ov), 6-47 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 13.3 ov), 7-48 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 14.1 ov), 8-48 (Mahidul Islam Ankon, 14.3 ov), 9-151 (Mominul Haque, 42.1 ov), 10-159 (Taijul Islam, 45.2 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR10.5 low catch at first slip! Sharp work by Markram. Full ball just outside off. This time the ball does turn, and Joy's attempted defensive shot takes the outside edge. He did play with very soft hands, and yet Markram ensured he pocketed that! 28/25.1 small edge, and Paterson strikes first ball! Full ball, fourth-stump line. Straightens instead of angling in. Shadman tries to fend off the front foot, but it takes the edge to Verreynne! 15/114.6 stumped last ball before tea! The batting coach David Hemp said Bangladesh needed to be better tactically in an interview in the morning, and this is an example of that. Zakir walks down the wicket trying to play at this length ball around off, but he misses, and the keeper whips the bails off quickly. At tea, Bangladesh are 43/4 43/411.2 falls to the trap! Just one fielder on the boundary line in the leg side and Mominul finds him. Tossed up ball on the stumps, and Mominul swings across the line. In the air, and taken by Muthusamy in the deep. Maharaj is shocked that the ball went to the only fielder present in that region. Mominul is out twice in the same session! 29/328.2 Shanto perishes, and Muthusamy has another! Fizzed through on a length on off. The ball drops on Shanto and forces him to reach out in front. The ball spins and bounces just enough to take the inside edge and then lob up off the pad. de Zorzi does the rest at leg slip, and Shanto walks back utterly disconsolate! 78/716.2 huge appeal, not given by Langton Rusere! Fired in very full on middle and off. Mushfiqur looks for the sweep but picks a very full ball, which is always fraught with risk. Seems to get an under-edge before getting rapped on the back leg. South Africa have taken this upstairs and if there is no bat, this could be close. The noise was of the bat hitting the ground and there is nothing on UltraEdge when the ball is next to the bat. Ball Tracking comes up and it has the ball cannoning into the inside of leg stump. Mushfiqur has to go, and Bangladesh are five down! 47/521.6 goes straight up, and Mehidy bites the dust! A rush of blood, and just like that, Bangladesh sink further! Tossed up again, on a length just outside off. Mehidy's eyes light up and he thinks he can smash this over cow corner. He has to reach out in front, though, and that leads to his downfall. A hint of extra bounce and the ball spoons up off the top edge, taken comfortably by Stubbs in the backward square leg region. South Africa four wickets away from a series win! 70/641.4 finally! The ploy has worked. The spinners were tossing it up but the batters were making good connection. This time it is sliced poorly with the batter trying to go big down the ground, and Rabada at long off has a simple catch to complete. 131/935.4 holes out! Full ball around off. Taijul loses patience and tries to take mid-on on. But he absolutely mistimes the shot, and Rabada at mid on has a simple catch to take at a comfortable height 94/843.4 and it is Maharaj who will finish with five! Full ball outside off. Bit of turn away. Batter tries to defend but he does so with hard hands. Pops up to silly mid off under the helmet, and that's game, set and match! South Africa win by an innings and 273 runs to sweep the Test series 2-0! 143/10Extras7 (lb 4, nb 3)TOTAL143 all out (f/o) (43.4 Overs, RR: 3.27)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Shadman Islam, 5.1 ov), 2-28 (Mahmudul Hasan Joy, 10.5 ov), 3-29 (Mominul Haque, 11.2 ov), 4-43 (Zakir Hasan, 14.6 ov), 5-47 (Mushfiqur Rahim, 16.2 ov), 6-70 (Mehidy Hasan Miraz, 21.6 ov), 7-78 (Najmul Hossain Shanto, 28.2 ov), 8-94 (Taijul Islam, 35.4 ov), 9-131 (Mahidul Islam Ankon, 41.4 ov), 10-143 (Nahid Rana, 43.4 ov)
