1:19pm A 103-run ninth-wicket stand, in a total of 159. That sums up just how good Taijul and Mominul were, but also how poorly the others batted. Bangladesh came into the day four down and things only got worse for them in the first hour, getting reduced to 48-8. Their ninth-wicket partnership spared their blushes but they will have to pick themselves up now and have a pop at it again.

A pretty accomplished bowling display by the visitors, despite Mominul and Taijul frustrating them. Rabada was front and centre, bagging yet another five-wicket haul that left Bangladesh reeling. Maharaj, Muthusamy and Paterson all chipped in, and they will now want to produce something similar, having invited Bangladesh to bat again. Join us in a bit for Bangladesh's second innings.

Maharaj to Taijul Islam, OUT, 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!

Muthusamy to Nahid Rana, no run, rapped on the pads and given out! Slanted in full on middle and off. Rana is perhaps expecting something a touch shorter and ends up playing all over a straight ball. It pins him on the front pad and Joel Wilson's finger is up as soon as South Africa start their appeal. Rana has reviewed because he can. No bat involved but Ball Tracking, somehow, has the ball spinning past off stump. Some extra bounce too. Wow, that was unexpected!

Muthusamy to Nahid Rana, no run, slowed up even more on a length just outside off. Pitches and breezes past the outside edge

Muthusamy to Taijul Islam, 1 run, superb effort, but Rickelton cannot quite get there! Flighted up on middle and leg. Taijul skips down and mows at it. Chunks it off the inside half of the bat and it floats towards long on. Rickelton rushes in, dives forward but cannot reach it

Muthusamy to Taijul Islam, no run, full on the pads. Taijul helps it round the corner towards short fine leg

Muthusamy to Taijul Islam, FOUR, Taijul finds the fence! Tossed up just outside off. Taijul dances down the track and smashes it past mid off, who was stationed quite wide. Vital runs for Bangladesh!
