Out! South Africa working as per plan. Two quick wickets and the side will be now bowling to the tail-enders. Very soft dismissal as Mushfiqur Rahim departed without troubling the scorer. Full on the pads and Mushfiqur has flicked it straight to mid-wicket with Zorzi taking an easy catch. Mushfiqur Rahim c de Zorzi b Dane Paterson 0(2)
Out! Just when Bangladesh was hoping for a long partnership, it was Kasigo Rabada's masterclass again. He has set up Shanto beautifully and smart field change made Shanto think by pushing short-leg back. And gets him with a cracker of a delivery, short of length and angling into fourth stump, then seams away late. Najmul Hossain Shanto c Kyle Verreynne b Kasigo Rabada 9 (17)
A new day and new hope for Bangladesh as Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque will look to play-out the opening period and build a strong partnership. South Africa on the other hand will look to take on tail-enders with two quick wickets.
