Bangladesh 106 and 267 for 7 (Mehidy 77*, Jaker 58, Rabada 4-35) lead South Africa 308 by 65 runs

Maharaj seemed to have trapped Nayeem later in the over, but the new batter survived thanks to DRS. He missed the sweep, but the ball was missing the stumps too. Rain came soon after, around 1.40pm, a welcome relief for the hosts.

Joy edged a wide delivery from Rabada, with David Bedingham taking a comfortable catch at first slip. He made 40 off 92 balls with five fours. Mushfiqur got out exactly how he fell in the first innings: bowled by Rabada. The delivery again burst through his bat and pad, though this time it disturbed only the middle stump, after Rabada had uprooted Mushfiqur’s off and middle stumps on the first day.

Maharaj then had Litton caught behind, the delivery taking the shoulder of his bat, to reduce Bangladesh to 112 for 6. Bangladesh were 90 runs behind at the time, and in danger of losing by an innings.

Mehidy and Jaker, however, checked the visitors at that point, hitting the odd boundary as they slowly took Bangladesh towards safety. Mehidy reached his fifty before the lunch break, as they went to the day’s first break trailing by one run.
