3/67 at the moment. Rain has stopped play for quite a while now. Ntini and Kallis are the wicket-takers so far on Day 3, Junaid Suddique has top score with 27.

Bangladesh will struggle to make South Africa bat again here unless something drastic happens.

South Africa cleaned up the Tigers side this morning, giving them victory by an innngs and 129 runs. Bangladesh were all out for 159, Mehrab Hossain Jnr top scored with 43 not out. Dale Steyn picked up another five wickets, Jacques Kallis and Makhaya Ntini picked up two wickets each.

Bangladesh were totally outclassed in this game, they'll need to assert themselves a lot better with the bat if they want to be competitive with the Proteas.

The second and final test is starts on Wednesday.

Graeme Smith was man of the Match for his first innings century.

Session 1 honors go to South Africa.

After a very slow start Bangladesh lost Imrul Keyes to Ntini for 6 runs when the score 25. Bangladesh then started to get back on top through Iqbal and Siddique before Morkel got Iqbal for a patient 31. The score at the stage was 2/54. Then Morkel struck again, getting the new man Ashraful for 1 to leave Bangladesh struggling at 3/57.

At lunch Bangladesh are on 3/64. Siddique is on 19 and Mehrab Hossain jnr is only on 1 run off the 3 balls he has faced so far.

Bangladesh finished up with 250 runs. A good score considering at one stage they were 5/122. Junaid Siddique top scored with 67. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahbubul Alam put on 56 runs for the last wicket with Rahim the last batsman dismissed for 65. Extraordinarily Alam was left on 1 not out but did well to stay with Rahim.

Bangladesh then came out and got McKenzie early for a duck. At stumps South Africa are 1/20 with Smith on 15 and Amla on 5.

He bowls left arm orthodox and can bat a bit as well. Actually averaging over 30 with the bat in ODI's. I've only seen him bowl a couple of time but he has impressed me each time.

Kerry O'Keefe was talking about him during the last test match. Kerry reckons Shakib is the best left arm spinner in the world. Even better than Vettori which is some feat for a 21 year old.

One to look out for in the future.

Shakib gets another wicket. This time it's Amla who is out for 71.

SA are now 4/134.

Jolldo87 · 27 Nov 2008, 06:13

Shakib got 2 in the over, de Villiers was out for a second ball duck.

SA now 5/145.

I have Shakib a wrap and he repaid my faith in him with another 2 wickets.
