    Time for Kagiso Rabada's hat-trick ball...

    That is quite the horn. It sounds like we're next to an elephant sanctuary.

  3. Ban 24-2published at 5 overs

    Former South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn is part of the TV commentary team and he's just said Quinton de Kock is shouting "hold your line" is Afrikaans to Anrich Nortje.

    He is bowling that back of the length, Test-match style line that has been so successful in this tournament.

    It is allowing South Africa to squeeze and be tight on the single.

    Just a couple through mid-wicket for Liton Das from Nortje's first over.

    Time for Anrich Nortje.

    He is rapid.

    It was Quinton de Kock who was confident, he did most of the appealing and convinced him for the review. You can see why the umpire gave it not out, though.

    Sarkar lbw b Rabada 0 (Ban 22-2)

    Two in two! Great review from South Africa.

    Brilliant from Kagiso Rabada too. No batter wants to face that to their first ball.

    The technology shows the ball would have gone on to hit the bottom quarter of off-stump.

    Rabada will be on a hat-trick the next time he bowls.

    Ouch! It has hit him bang on the toe.

    It is definitely boot/the very bottom of the pad first.

    Soumya Sarkar is in trouble here.

    Has it clipped the toe before the bat?

  11. South Africa reviewpublished at 4 overs

    Offft! What a delivery to get first up.

    Kagiso Rabada goes for the yorker and has this hit the boot first?

    Richard Illingworth says no but South Africa send it upstairs.

    It was hit firmly, looking to go up and over the midwicket fielder but hasn't got enough on it. Just as Bangladesh try to kick on and accelerate, they lose a wicket.

    Naim c Hendricks b Rabada 9 (Ban 22-1)

    Breakthrough!

    Simple as it comes this really.

    A good tight line from Kagiso Rabada is flicked straight to Reeza Hendricks at mid-wicket. He ain't going to drop that.

    But at the same time they can't afford to be 25-0 after six overs. That puts more pressure on the new batters that will be coming in.

    Perhaps Bangladesh are just being a bit more cautious in the absence of Shakib, just trying to get through the powerplay without losing a wicket.

  16. Ban 20-0published at 3.3 overs

    Close! Rassie van der Dussen brings a goalkeeper-style save in the covers and the ball is parried to David Miller at backward point.

    Mohammad Naim is ball watching, while dawdling down the pitch, and a direct hit would have been very interesting.

    It would have been a frame or two decision.

    But also whoever's backing him up is a shambles! He's done the right thing and gone behind Markram in case he misses it, but he's just run straight past the ball.

    That is as amateur as you could possibly get.

  19. Ban 17-0published at 3 overs

    At the toss Temba Bavuma was asked "what is the one thing you want to improve today?" and he responded "fielding".

    Yeah, he isn't going to be happy.

    We had the misfield in the first over and now Aiden Markram has just ran past one and let the ball go through him to the boundary.

    That is, quite frankly, ordinary.

    The worst overs to bowl are always four to six. It's the back end of the powerplay, when the batters are in. Getting asked to bowl over number five is not the one you want...
