What matters now is the carrot is dangling. The heavy roller and sunshine are coming in. There will be at least 35 minutes of play if weather permits. Will South Africa start with spin? How will Bangladesh approach the chase this evening? Stay tuned to find out.

TAKIN: "What is the standard innings break?" Ten minutes or two overs.

4:45 pm: Bangladesh have played attritional cricket to the best of their abilities to keep South Africa to 204. But the hosts will be happy with a lead of 273, they will be disappointed, however, by the fact that only Dean Elgar, Keegan Peterson, and Ryan Rickelton got in. Mehidy, Ebadot, and Taskin were exceptional, Khalel kept things tight too.

Ebadot Hossain to Olivier, OUT, LBW given and reviewed! It was a good length ball that came in with the angle, beat the bat that Olivier presented in front, was slightly squared up and hit him in front. It was hitting the top of middle with the impact in-line, so the innings is over.

Diamond duck for Williams, Rickelton looks distraught. It may have been his call but he couldn't have done much about his partner running a bit too far down.

Ebadot Hossain to Rickelton, 1 run, OUT, It is another run-out! It was clipped off a back of a good length behind square. The throw came in, hit the keeper's pad and ricocheted behind square to the left-hander's offside. Williams looked to pinch another run but the fielder was close and he'd run down too far and could not return before the keeper whips off the bails. The South African dressing room has all members sigh in frustration as the Bangladeshis continue to party on the ground

LB Williams run out 0 (6m 0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

Looks like another run-out!

Mahmud: "Partnership in building like first innings. Will Mominul try something different today? Or will he continue same old defensive approach? A wicket is gone while writing this comment. " The containment is on, rather effective at that.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Harmer, 2 runs, OUT, It was on a good length outside off, the drive through cover was in the gap and was running to the fence, but the sub-fielder,Sohan, ran to his left and got to the ball. The flat throw came in quickly and hit the base of off-stump at the non-striker's end. That was the only stump he could aim at or throw down! There was two there but the direct-hit was so unlikely that they took it on. The bat came in with a slide along the ground but he was a metre or so short.

SR Harmer run out 11 (34m 25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 44.00

Direct-hit from deep cover, is that a run-out?. Dean Elgar looks to his side and laughs, what else can one do with freak throws like that?!
