Earlier, the Proteas were all out for 308 in their first innings of 308, which secured a 202-run lead for the visitors thanks to wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne's century. (Live Scorecard) Bangladesh showed improvement, but they still have a mountain to climb to get back into this game.
Their bowlers were inconsistent, conceding nearly 200 runs for the last four wickets, something that might prove costly. Hasan Mahmud was impressive, leaving them to wonder if playing just one seamer was the right call.
