10.15am So, it's taken less than five overs today with the second new ball for Rabada and Mulder to end Bangladesh's innings. Mehidy could add just 10 runs to his overnight total and fell short of what would have been an excellent second Test century. It's an invaluable knock nonetheless. Rabada finishes with figures of 6 for 46. A pretty good way to celebrate a Test where you've gone past 300 Test wickets, eh? Well, The groundstaff are out there with brooms, sweeping up the pitch. South Africa will be out soon for the chase.

Md Al Mamun : "It will be an interesting 4th innings for sure...most probably Bangladesh is going to win by 7runs!! "

Usama : "Standing ovation for Mr Mark. Perfect Jinx."

Abby: "@Abhimanyu, you did jinx it..haha " Don't shoot the messenger! I'm going to lay the blame solely on Mark!

Rabada to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, OUT, Mehidy has steered this to slip! Mehidy falls three short of his century as Rabada finishes with a six-for. This was a back of length delivery angling in to cramp Mehidy for room. Mehidy backed away and looked to ramp it but couldn't get the height on it. Still, a fantastic knock and South Africa have a 106-run target

Mulder to Taijul Islam, OUT, Taijul goes fishing, but he's the one who's fallen for the bait! On a length on off, it teased to shape back in, but went on with the angle across the left-hander. Taijul poked at it and got the edge and it's well taken at second slip
