34.1 - Rubel to Duminy, FOUR, very full and outside off, Duminy was looking to force it through the off-side, gets a thick inside edge that rolls past the off-stump, keeper had no chance of stopping the ball and it raced away

33.5 - Shakib to Behardien, FOUR, tossed up nicely outside off, Behardien goes for the inside-out loft and places it wide of long-off, ball raced away in a hurry, the placement was very good on that occasion

31.1 - Mortaza to Duminy, FOUR, off-cutter outside off, Duminy spots it early and drives it to the right of mid-off, sublime timing and class from the left hander

29.3 - Mortaza to Duminy, FOUR, short of length delivery and it sits up nicely for the batsman, it is the off-cutter as well, Duminy waits on it and pulls it behind square on the on-side, that was a controlled pull and Duminy got the reward in the end

29.0 - Nasir Hossain to D Miller, FOUR, gives this one more air outside off, Miller drives it through extra cover as he times it to perfection, no need to run for those, beats the fielder in the deep

26.1 - Nasir Hossain to D Miller, FOUR, quicker one on the stumps, Miller kneels down and sweeps it over mid-wicket, it was timed superbly and it raced away in a hurry

18.5 - Nasir Hossain to D Miller, FOUR, Miller sweeps again and gets yet another boundary, he fetches this flighted delivery from off-stump line and muscles the sweep through square leg, ball races away in a jiffy

17.4 - Mahmudullah to D Miller, FOUR, fires it on the pads again, Miller sweeps it hard behind square on the on-side, sublime timing and class on that occasion

17.2 - Mahmudullah to D Miller, FOUR, full and on the pads, Miller gets down on one knee and sweeps it through mid-wicket, he timed it so well, no need to run for those

13.1 - Shakib to Rossouw, FOUR, shortish delivery on the pads, rossouw rocks back and pulls it to the left of backward square leg, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

9.3 - Shakib to Amla, FOUR, this was tossed up, Amla comes down the track and flicks it wide of mid-on, didn't time it too well, but it had enough on it to go over the fielder and reach the fence

8.3 - Rubel to Rossouw, FOUR, bit too straight this time, it was pitched up as well and Rubel pays the price for it. Rossouw clips it wide of mid-on, the ball hurries across the turf and crashes into the fence

5.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Amla, FOUR, uppish but safe! This was pitched up just outside off, Amla comes forward and goes hard on the drive, it was in the air for some time but Amla placed it in the gap, runs away through the cover region and crashes into the fence in a jiffy

1.5 - Mortaza to de Kock, FOUR, lovely shot from de Kock. This was shortish and well outside off, de Kock stays back and cuts it square of the wicket, the ball runs away to the fence in no time

40.0 - Rubel to Duminy, out Caught by Litton Das!! Duminy goes off the last ball of the innings. This was a length ball angling away slightly wide outside off, Duminy goes hard at that, ends up slicing it high in the air. The ball was swirling in the air but Litton Das at point judges it well and takes a good catch. Duminy c Litton Das b Rubel 51(70) [4s-3]

39.2 - Rubel to Kyle Abbott, out Bowled!! You miss. I hit! That's death bowling at its best. That's what you want from your bowlers towards the end and Rubel has given Mashrafe Mortaza exactly that. The umpire checks for a front foot no-ball, but Rubel's fine on that count. This was the yorker aimed at the base of the stumps, Abbott fails to jam it out and the ball crashes into the base of off and middle. Kyle Abbott b Rubel 5(10)

36.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to Rabada, out Bowled!! Mustafizur gets his second wicket of the innings. This was the cutter from Mustafizur, he rolled his fingers over it. The ball grips on the surface as Rabada comes forward to push at it, the ball sneaks past the inside edge and crashes into off and middle. Rabada b Mustafizur Rahman 1(5)

35.1 - Shakib to Behardien, out Caught by S Rahman!! Sabbir Rahman has pulled off another great catch. This was a flighted delivery on the stumps, Behardien comes down the track and lofts it hard towards long-on, didn't quite get under it and Sabbir at long-on first takes it just inside the rope, but he was worried about his followthrough taking him over the rope and he throws it back in the air, balances himself and takes it easily on the second time. Behardien c S Rahman b Shakib 12(16) [4s-1]

30.0 - Mortaza to D Miller, out Caught by S Rahman!! Bangladeshi skipper gets his 200th ODI wicket, it was a brilliant catch by Rahman at backward point. This was short and wide outside off, Miller cuts it in the air towards the right of backward point, the fielder dives full length to his right and grabs a good low catch with both hands. Shakib was the first one to greet the skipper on achieving his landmark. This is the first time 2 players in the same team have got their 200th wicket in the same game. D Miller c S Rahman b Mortaza 44(51) [4s-5]The

15.1 - Mahmudullah to Rossouw, out Caught by Rahim!! Mahmudullah gets a wicket first ball. This was slower and outside off, Rossouw had enough time to rock on the back foot and pull it away, he chases the delivery and ends up getting an under edge on the pull which was smartly held by Rahim. Rossouw was shocked that he got out in such a way and it took him ages to make a walk back to the pavilion. He thought about a review but decides against it after a brief chat with his partner. Rossouw c Rahim b Mahmudullah 17(27) [4s-2]

13.3 - Shakib to Amla, out Caught by Rahim!! 200th wicket for Shakib and it's the big wicket of the South African captain, Hashim Amla. He was dropped in the last over, but hasn't made the most of the reprieve. Shakib gave this one more air just outside off, Amla gets lured into the drive and goes hard at the ball, the ball turns away and takes the outside edge, Rahim smartly takes the catch. It was beautifully bowled by Shakib as he managed to deceive the batsman there. Amla c Rahim b Shakib 15(35) [4s-2]

7.1 - Shakib to du Plessis, out Caught by Rahim!! Shakib gets his 199th wicket. Like de Kock, du Plessis too throws his wicket away. This was tossed up outside off, du Plessis kneels down and goes for the slog sweep, all he could manage was a big top-edge that goes high in the air, the keeper moves to his left and takes a simple catch. This is a big wicket for Bangladesh as du Plessis has been South Africa's batting mainstay in the first two ODIs. du Plessis c Rahim b Shakib 6(17)

2.2 - Mustafizur Rahman to de Kock, out Bowled!! Poor cricket from de Kock and Mustafizur has found the timber. The length was not there for de Kock to play the whip, it was very full and was tailing in on leg stump line, de Kock goes hard on the whip and fails to connect, the ball sneaks past the blade and crashes into the leg stump. This is exactly what the Bangladeshis wanted at this stage. de Kock b Mustafizur Rahman 7(8) [4s-1]

11.3 - Shakib to Amla, 1 run, dropped! This was tossed up outside off, Amla comes down the track and goes for the inside-out loft over cover, ends up slicing it high in the air. Sabbir from cover runs back, gets both hands to it but can't hold on. The batsmen take a single

39.0 - Mustafizur Rahman to Duminy, 1 run, Duminy gets to his 21st ODI fifty with that single. It was a slower ball outside off, Duminy opens the face of the bat and guides it to the right of backward point, gets to the other end with a quick single. He will keep the strike

1.4 - Mortaza to de Kock, no run, this was angling in on the stumps, de Kock fails to work it away and wears it on the pad. There was an appeal, but the ball pitched outside leg. Bangladesh went for the review and lose it very early in the innings

26.1 - Tahir to Litton Das, FOUR, Bangladesh have done it! They win the series 2-1. This is their fourth successive ODI series win at home. Coming back to the ball, it was dragged short by Tahir, Das rocks back and pulls it through square leg, the ball runs away to the fence

26.0 - Duminy to Tamim, FOUR, full and outside off, Tamim comes down the track and loft drives it over extra cover, Bangladesh are now one hit away from creating history

23.0 - Kyle Abbott to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, that's sheer class and great timing from the youngster, brings up the 150-run stand as well, overpitching outside off, Sarkar laces the drive through extra cover, fielder in the deep had no chance of cutting that off

22.2 - Kyle Abbott to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, full and outside off, Sarkar opens the face of the bat and uses the pace of the ball as he runs this one down to the third man fence, third man runs to his and yet he didn't have a chance of stopping that

19.0 - Kyle Abbott to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, that's talent for you, short and on the stumps, Sarkar waits and plays it late, ramps it over the keeper. How do you place a fielder for such shots? You can't

17.0 - Tahir to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, fullish and outside off, Sarkar drives hard and gets it through extra cover, that was timed superbly, ends the over on a high

15.3 - M Morkel to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, all the Bangladeshi fans, mark this- Soumya Sarkar is the future of Bangladesh cricket. He has got some amazing talent and he can hit the ball a long way too. He gets to his fifty with this boundary. This was short and down leg, Sarkar pulls it towards the fine leg fence, the pace off the ball took it away to the fence in a hurry. Brings up the 100-run stand as well. This is also the fastest fifty by a Bangladeshi against South Africa

15.0 - Tahir to Tamim, FOUR, floated up outside off, Tamim comes down the track and drives it in the gap between mid-off and extra cover, Bangladesh are in a hurry here. History in making for the home team

14.5 - Tahir to Tamim, FOUR, full toss just outside off, Tamim smacks the drive through mid-off, who dives to his right but fails to stop the ball, he smashed it really hard and it raced away in a jiffy

11.3 - Duminy to Tamim, FOUR, comes down the track and slogs this flighted delivery wide of mid-on, it wasn't timed that well but it had enough on it to reach the fence

7.4 - Rabada to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, these three boundaries have got the crowd going as well.

7.3 - Rabada to Soumya Sarkar, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Sarkar. This was a length ball on off, Sarkar gets behind the line and lofts it through the line, one bounce and over the long-on fence

24.4 - Tahir to Soumya Sarkar, out Caught by Amla!! That's a soft dismissal and Sarkar has a wry smile on his face as he walks back.

Coming to the ball this was tossed up on off, Sarkar was goes hard on the drive, hits it in the air and ends up offering a simple catch to Amla at short cover. He gets a standing ovation as he walks off the field. Soumya Sarkar c Amla b Tahir 90(75) [4s-13 6s-1]

22.1 - Kyle Abbott to Tamim, 1 run, 31st ODI fifty for Tamim, what a player he has been for Bangladesh! He surely played a huge role in changing the fortunes of the home team.
