Full commentary

4.10pm And that's it from us from the opening game of what promises to be a fantastic Under-19 World Cup. Excellent performance from the hosts, they've shown they are serious contenders here. Lots more exciting matches coming up, do join us for those. Until next time, ta ta!

Asad: "OMG it is hard to believe that defending champion losing the opening match." -- Not sure if being defending champions counts for too much, given that more or less the entire team changes from one edition to another. But yes, a hugely impressive performance from Bangladesh here.

Skander: "Shaifuddins bowling reminds me a bit of Angelo Mathews bowling."

Nazmul Hossain Shanto is the Player of the Match. "It was tough conditions, the wicket was a little slow, so I just rotated strike," he says. "I worked the ball, and if the ball was in my hitting zone I tried and hit my shots."

4.05pm A hugely impressive performance from Bangladesh. They seem to have the perfect attack for the conditions, and all of them did their job in defending 240. Saifuddin with his yorkers, Mehedi with his offbreaks and Shawon with his drifting, non-turning left-arm spin were particularly impressive. A calm and fluent hundred from Liam Smith, but not much else at all from the South African batsmen.

Saifuddin to Philander, OUT

full, angling into off stump, and that's given immediately. Walked across to try and heave it over the leg side, missed, and that struck him on the back leg. Did it strike him in line? Not sure. Yup. Struck him outside the line.

tossed up and that's a powerful hit from Philander. Steps out and hammers a meaty blow down the ground that beats long-on even though he doesn't have much ground to cover to his left
