bowled. Goes full and straight, Mustafizur looks to swiped it over midwicket and misses. Leg stump thumped comprehensively
South Africa vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test at Bloemfontein, Oct 06 2017 - Match Result
2:36pm Looks like we won't be getting pictures of the presentation. But Firdose Moonda has told me from the ground that Mushfiqur Rahim said he was tested and declared okay by the doctor. Thank goodness. That's all from us in this Test. Have a good evening!
Dean Elgar is the Man of the Series.
Kagiso Rabada is the Man of the Match.
hsd: "42.5 overs in the 1st innings, 42.4 in the second. Talk about consistency."
Pradeep G: "Rabada deserves both MOM and MOS as well. 15 wickets in 4 innings. Yes Elgar got 2 hundreds and one of them is 199 but still these are flat pitches and such bowling performance in these pitches needs appreciation."
2:15pm Rabada pockets yet another ball. Has the first-innings souvenir too. Ten wickets for him. Brought up 50 for the year, brought up 100 in his career and brought genuine terror to anyone who faced him today. A top class Test bowling effort.
It came after the thumping the batsmen delivered in the first innings - 573 in 120 overs. Four centuries, two double-century partnerships. Complete domination. There is nothing, save Liton Das' half-century in the first innings, for Bangladesh to take from this. They're visibly defeated as the teams line up to shake hands. Mushfiqur is in that line. Back from hospital. Have we seen a crushing end to his time as Test captain? This is South Africa's biggest win against Bangladesh. An innings and 254 runs.
We'll be back shortly with the presentation.

stanton: "Can you imagine what a bowling line up the Proteas' actually have? Steyn, Vernon, Morne, Kagiso, Maharaj, and Andile as the 6th option, and Olivier as the reserve bowler? Add a batting order of Elgar, Markram, Amla, De Villiers, Faf, De Kock. What a team!!"
yorker at his toe, he can't get bat on it. It deflects into the cordon. He's looking at the umpire as South Africa appeal for lbw and isn't aware a slip fielder has taken aim. The stumps are it. The third umpire is summoned, but he's just managed to get his heel down
wow! Steps down the track, meets this at the pitch outside off and sends it rocketing over the long-off boundary!
