The Proteas lead the two-match Test series 1-0 after their 220-run win at Kingsmead in Durban last week.

The South Africans go unchanged into the final Test, and according to team management, fast bowler Lutho Sipamla was unavailable for selection due to a hamstring strain. 

Meanwhile, Bangladesh made two changes with Tamim Iqbal and Taijul Islam coming in.

Play starts at 10:00.
