5:07 pm: South Africa went at 4.41 runs per over as they set-up a declaration. With a target of 413 and a few minutes left, it looks like the perfect time for the hosts' spinners to come back into the game. A word for Taijul, who's bowled really well. Mehidy picked up wickets too. Khaled bowled well. The openers for South Africa played well, Temba looked solid, as did Kyle. Stay tuned for the final innings of the series, which is starting in a handful of minutes at best.
TR: "Send Taijul in as night watchman!" They didn't send in any in the last two games. Will they this evening?

Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Mulder, OUT, Knocks off-stump and Elgar calls the batters in. It was a jaffa that pitched around off and beat the outside edge. Looked to have played down on the wrong line.

Ebadot Hossain to Verreynne, no run, Short ball down leg, beats the pull. The keeper is interested in a caught-behind though and Bangladesh review after Marais said not-out. The ball is well over the outside edge, but the key, as Mark Nicholas observes, was that the eyes were on the ball. He was also looking to play it into the ground
