Even for an ODI that's not a great score. Horrible collapse from 136/1.

AB de Villiers has just broken a stretch of 98 consecutive tests, going all the way back to his debut. Seems the team may be a bit lost without him.

Bangladesh    46/1 (18.2 ov)

Bangladesh weathered the early storm after losing two quick wickets to reach lunch at 80/2. Also of note, as the players were walking off for lunch, Tamim Iqbal and Quentin de Kock got into a bit of an argy-bargy with de Kock appearing to shove Tamim.

There is still a long way to go in this Test but Bangladesh's fight here should not go unnoticed. Dating back to the start of the decade, South Africa have won 24 Test matches, lost 7 and drawn 13. In the last 3 years, they have been almost unbeatable with 14 wins, 3 losses and 6 draws.

The match is evenly poised now. If SA can take some quick wickets tomorrow then match will turn in their favour. Otherwise Bangladesh will take a 50 plus surplus score in their favour .
