    29.6 Piedt gets his first to leave Bangladesh seven down! The subtle change to come around the wicket has paid off for South Africa. Bowls this full and on the stumps, arm delivery slides on, Mahmudul goes back to punch, misses only for the stumps to be disturbed 76/7
    1.4 Mulder strikes straightaway! Unnecessary shot early on from Shadman. It was a full length delivery pitched wide of off, moving away, the batter was chasing it and ended up hitting this straight to the hands of Markram at second slip 6/1
    3.3 Another one bites the dust! Another good ball from Mulder. Pitches this on a good length on the middle stump, swings in a bit, Momimul looks to hit this towards leg side and nicks it behind the keeper 13/2
    5.5 Straight to Maharaj! What is happening here, Bangladesh? This is brilliant from South Africa. Mulder changes the angle and bowls this full around off stump, Shanto tries to flick this to on side but it comes off the edge and straight to short mid-off. Maharaj points to the bowler and seems like the plan worked straightaway 21/3
    13.5 stumps go splat, and that is Test wicket No.300 for Kagiso Rabada! Proper hot knife through butter stuff. Begins on a length outside off before curving back in delightfully. Decks back into Mushfiqur off the surface too and he is just too late to cover the line. Breezes through the gap between bat and pad, and leaves the stumps in an absolute mess. South Africa have their fourth, and Bangladesh are reeling! 40/4
    19.1 is that a bird, is that a plane? No, it is Tristan Stubbs flying to his left! Rabada badgers that hard length again, just outside off. A bit of nip away and the ball climbs onto Litton too. Takes a thick outside edge and pops up high to Stubbs' left at gully. No problem for Stubbs, though, as he channels his inner superhero and piles further misery on Bangladesh! 45/5
    26.1 trapped in front, and Nitin Menon's finger goes up! Arm-ball on a fullish length on middle and off. Mehidy lunges forward and plays for the turn. Plays outside the line ultimately and gets smashed on the front pad, right in front of middle stump. The only question here is whether this would have missed the stumps with the angle. Mehidy has gone upstairs to find out. Ball Tracking is available this time, and that spells doom for Mehidy because it has the ball thundering into leg stump. A wicket on the stroke of lunch, and the hosts are tottering! 60/6
    30.3 A wild swing and keeper whips the bails off! Great bowling from Maharaj. Not a good idea to come down the track to a full ball spinning away. It draws Jaker forward and he misses it completely as Verreynne effects the stumping 76/8
    37.5 Leading edge and gone! Bowls a good length delivery on off and middle, Nayeem looks to place this on the on side but doesn't come off from the middle of the bat. Ends up hitting this straight to Mulder at slips 102/9
    40.1 through Taijul, and the leg bail is toppled! Flighted up nicely on a full length outside off. Seems to take a bit of the rough and spins back in devilishly. Taijul, looking for the cover drive, seems to get a tickle that ends up clipping leg stump. Bangladesh have been rolled over for 106, having won the toss and opted to bat first! 106/10

    0.6 cleans up Markram with an absolute corker! This has been quite an eventful over, and this gets the conclusion Mahmud and Bangladesh want. Pitches on a back of a length just outside off and decks back in. Markram plays for too much movement it seems and gets beaten on the outside. The ball smashes into middle stump, and that is that for the South African skipper in this innings! 9/1
    27.2 Oh wow, third wicket for Taijul! That turned in sharply and de Zorzi didn't see that coming. Full length ball outside off, he goes back to defend but got an inside edge on to the pads and it goes to left of short leg who dives and takes an excellent low catch 99/4
    11.4 edged and gone! That is a beauty! Fizzed through on a length on middle and off. Stubbs is caught on the crease and then completely done in by the turn and bounce. Could have possible been forward to this but because his feet go nowhere, he tries to access it with his hands. Thick outside edge and Shadman gobbles up the chance at slip! 50/2
    19.3 Taijul strikes again! slightly short bowled wide of off stump, stays very low, spins away and induces a top edge from Bedingham who wanted to cut this away on the backfoot. Litton collects the ball perfectly to leave South Africa three down. 72/3
    31.3 Five-for for Taijul! On a good length outside off, skids after landing on the rough patch, Rickelton goes back to cut and is quick to the shot. Gets an edge to keeper. Bangladesh are turning this around 108/6
    27.6 What was that from Breetzke! 200 wickets for Taijul. The first delivery turned away from him and he thought it would behave similarly. But this one pitched full on off stump, went straight to take the top of off stump as Breetzke let it go, thinking it would spin away from him 99/5
    88.4 Litton is confident that he has stumped Verreynne, but the square-leg umpire refers this! In fact, Verryenne walks back himself. Yup, he is standing well outside the crease, and his back foot his short, as he looks to sweep this full and slower ball outside off, but is beaten. Mehidy strikes again, and South Africa finish 202 ahead 308/10
    64.5 edged and taken! Mahmud finally breaks through, and Bangladesh end this enormous stand! Back of a length in the channel. Threatens to come in before holds its line after pitching. Mulder is drawn into wafting at it and gets a thick outside edge that is snared by Shadman at wide slip. Perfectly position, and Mahmud looks up to the heavens the moment the catch is held on to! 227/7
    64.6 off stump out of the ground! One brings two, and Mahmud, just like that, is on a hat-trick! Fullish ball that starts outside off and tails back in sharply. Maharaj tries to cover the line but his attempts are in vain. The ball nips back too, and Maharaj, caught in the crease, sees the ball breeze past the inside edge. Off stump is sent flying and Bangladesh have two in a trice! 227/8
    86.4 another loud appeal for lbw... and umpire Wilson gives it out after a thought! But Piedt reviews! A fullish delivery on off, which turns in appreciably. So my first impression is that this might finish outside leg. But we'll see. Piedt is deep in the crease to try and clip, but is beaten on the inside edge. The third umpire waits for the UltraEdge to show up... It is a long wait, though. Finally, it confirms that there is no bat involved. Ball tracking shows it pitching outside off and turning in to clip the leg stump. So it is umpire's call, and the decision stands. A great vigil by Piedt ends, as Mehidy takes his first 293/9

    31.1 taken at first slip! Rabada gets his third, and Mahmudul departs after getting another start in this game. But Rabada waits for the umpire's confirmation regarding this not being a no-ball, and the umpire says it is out. He bowled on a length, and wide of off. The ball was angled in, and there was no movement while getting good bounce. Mahmudul went slashing far away from his body - and played with a flat bat - before getting a top edge 105/4
    2.1 sharp chance and gobbled up by de Zorzi at short leg! Shadman falls cheaply again! Back of a length on middle and leg, and this zips back into Shadman. Hurries him completely and he has to try and fend it away. Seems to get an inside edge that the pings off the flap of the pad to short leg's left. de Zorzi reacts swiftly and South Africa are on the board! 4/1
    2.4 did that carry?! Looks like it did, and Rabada has two very early in the piece! Another brutish back of a length delivery outside off that climbs into Mominul. He fences at it, with slightly hard hands, and the extra bounce means the ball floats off the shoulder of the bat towards Mulder at third slip. He swoops down low, completes the catch and Bangladesh have been rocked again! 4/2
    18.5 confident appeal for lbw, and given rather quickly! Maharaj is jumping out of joy, and South Africa break a solid stand! Shanto doesn't bother reviewing because it looked pretty straightforward. He opened his stance up, with his back leg ending wide outside leg. He was slightly across too, and looked to defend this full ball pitching outside off and turning in. But he eventually ended off balance, and was struck on his front leg on off, and walked back immediately 59/3
    31.3 gone, bowled him! The middle stump is flattened. Rabada turns the game around in the space of three deliveries. Angled in from over the wicket, as he bowled on the fuller side of a length, with the ball swinging in. Mushi went driving from an off-stump line, but the ball skidded through to rattle the middle stump. No foot movement from Mushi, who is done in by the pace of 136kph 106/5
    34.5 appeal for caught behind, but turned down! Slow and drifting in on a length on off, and turning away to beat Litton's attempted forward defence. And while I was describing all that, Markram decided to review last moment. Replays show the ball is passing close to the shoulder of the bat, and guess what? There is a little tickle confirmed by UltraEdge, amid the cheers by the South Africa fielders. Litton walks back early 112/6
    89.5 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 307/10

    75.1 trapped in front, and given lbw! Maharaj and co hardly even appealed, before the finger was up! But Jaker reviews. Maharaj tossed the ball up, and bowled on a length. It seems to have dipped on leg stump, before barely straightening away. Jaker was deep in the crease to try and clip, but was beaten on the inside edge. UltraEdge shows there is a gap between bat and ball, so there is no inside edge, as he is hit on his left leg after opening his stance up. And ball tracking shows the ball would have hit leg stump after pitching on leg, so the big century stand is broken 250/7
    85.3 Plumb in front! On a length outside off, it seams in and stays low to beat the bat as Nayeem jams it down. He is hit right in front and he is walking. Rabada strikes in his first over, and Nayeem falls on the first ball he faces today! That's Test five-for No. 15 for Kagiso Rabada! 284/8
    88.3 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 303/9
