  • Mehidy Hasan Miraz19 (13b)
  • Taskin Ahmed7 (5b)
  • Lungi Ngidi10-1-75-1
  • Kagiso Rabada10-0-57-1

Join Binoy for the chase in 30 minutes' time to see where this goes.

Sundar: "Bng RR was some 3.5 at 17 overs. Quite the recovery here."

Sampath reminds us that this is just the second time Bangladesh have crossed 300 in any format vs South Africa in South Africa.

Shaikat: "Well played Bangladesh!"

Yasir Ali speaks after his maiden fifty today: "It's really great to play for my country and to perform. Tamim bhai and Litton did the hard part. The shine was gone, and the pitch looked good. How Shakib bhai batted made it really easy for me. I was prepared for the short stuff. I knew if I could come over that phase, I could come out on top. My favourite shot was hitting Ngidi straight. It is a pretty good score. We also have to bowl well because they are a strong side."

5:01pm Bangladesh would have taken 314 anytime after they had only 46 at the 15-over mark. Tamim and Litton laid the foundation with a steady opening stand that was time-taking yet crucial; and after that, it was the partnership between Shakib and Yasir that propelled Bangladesh. That 115-run union turned it around, which means South Africa now need to chase 315.

Ngidi to Mehidy Hasan Miraz, SIX, far and wide over fine leg! Right where a bunch of Bangladesh supporters are enjoying on the grass banks. It is a cutter from Ngidi, and on a short of a length on off. Mehidy pulls that off the top half of the bat, but still sends that high and far

Some late drama here. Ngidi stops just as he is about to bowl, seeing the non-striker was backing out of is crease.
