South Africa 0/61 at Lunch.
Smith 39*
McKenzie 20*

Only 24 overs bowled in the first session.

The slaughter continues. Partway through the last session, South Africa are 1/230, Smith has just brought up his century, he's 103 not out with Hashim Amla on 72, Amla's scored about 20 runs from the last three overs.

Shahadat Hossain has the only wicket, that of Neil McKenzie for 42.

The over rate has stayed pretty bad for the entire day, the Tigers are about eight overs behind at the moment so taking the last half hour is almost but assured. There are two spinners on now though so perhaps they might make up a few overs. Still 26 overs left to bowl however.

South Africa were 1/299 when bad light stopped play with 8 overs remaining.
Smith 138*
Amla 103*

This is going to be massive!!!!!!!

5/404 at lunch. Smith was out for 157 and Amla 112. Shakib Al Hasan has 2/117 with Mahbubul Alam and Mashrafe Mortaza the other wicket-talers so far on day two.

Good session for the Tiges but South Africa are still in control at the moment.

Good fight-back from Bangladesh. Hopefully they can roll South Africa for 450 and try to make them bat twice.

Jolldo87 · 20 Nov 2008, 05:33

South Africa now 7/420.

A fantastic effort so far from Bangladesh today. Shakib Al Hasan has been the major contributor taking 4 wickets.

**Ljp86** · 20 Nov 2008, 09:06

South Africa declared at 9/441, Shakib Al Hasan picked up five wickets.

In reply, Bangladesh reached 3/33 at tea and have gone on to be 8/131 midway through the last session. Makhaya Ntini had lead the way for the Proteas with 3/20, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel have two wickets each.

Mushfiqur Rahim is still trying hard for the Tigers, 35 not out at the moment. Shahadat Hossain is up to 19 in quick time.

Another poor batting display from Bangladesh after they did so well today with the ball. They'll struggle to make South Africa bat again unless they can greatly improve their batting in the second innings.

**Ljp86** · 20 Nov 2008, 09:20

Mushfiqur Rahim's gone now, ball from Kallis was full and straight, Mushfiqur plays all around it and hits him dead in front. LBW for 48.

9/148 now, trailing by 293 runs.

**Ljp86** · 20 Nov 2008, 09:32

Kallis bowls Shahadat Hossain to claim his second wicket and finishes with neat figures of 2/10. A beautiful yorker and Hossain just had no answer.

All out for 153 from just 36.4 overs and the deficit is 288.

South Africa have also enforced the follow-on. There'll probably be only a few overs before stumps as we are already inside the extra half-hour of play.

Jolldo87 · 20 Nov 2008, 14:30

Bangladesh 1/20 at Stumps still trailing by 268 runs.

Hopefully they can make South Africa bat again. That would be a good effort from here.
