    Catchhhh! No!

    Mahmudullah drives but it is just over the head of Gerald Coetzee at deep mid-wicket.

    The effort gets a clap from Heinrich Klaasen.

    Mustafizur is a bowler batting in bowling boots. But that's the sort of shot as a lower-order player that makes you feel like Don Bradman for a minute.

  3. Ban 166-8published at 38 overs

    The Fizz!

    He drills Marco Jansen back down the ground for four, before an upper cut brings him one.

    He's enjoyed that I reckon.

    Would agree this tournament is too long. We could have 12 teams in two groups and still shorten the competition by 15 games. Alternatively, we could play 2 games every day. But today is game 23 of 45 in the group stages, and it is turning into a bit of a d r a g.

    Mustafizur Rahman is the new batter.

    He backs away and has a prod at his first two deliveries.

    If South Africa can hit his stumps they may be in business.

    Slower ball from Rabada, which meant Hasan was through the shot far too early and can only play the vertical drive, with Gerald Coetzee looking quite casual before taking the catch.

    Hasan c Coetzee b Rabada 15 (Ban 159-8)

    Two to go.

    It is the slower ball from Kagiso Rabada and Hasan Mahmud is through the shot too early.

    It goes a mile up in the air but Gerald Coetzee settles himself under it at mid-off and takes the catch.

    He gets a double thumbs up in celebration from Rabada.

    Re. Adrian 16.09. Are you suggesting that Netherlands beating S. Africa and Afghanistan undoing England are 'nothing to play for' matches? There are likely to be other such upsets and this is the beauty of the one group approach which would likely not be achievable in split groups. Absolute magic.

    Mahmudullah is being a bit of a nuisance here.

    He pulls into the mid-wicket fence before a top-edge flies over Heinrich Klaasen and away for four more.

    That sees him exchange some words with Marco Jansen too. Tasty.

    You can see the Bangladesh fans and some of the locals giving Mahmudullah a round of applause after that half-century. But he has had no support whatsoever.

  11. Ban 148-7published at 35 overs

    Another edge, another four.

    South Africa are struggling to wrap this up.

    At 81-6 they would have wanted to finish it off quickly.

    50 for Mahmudullahpublished at 34.3 overs

    A single into the leg side brings up Mahmudullah's half-century.

    It comes up off 67 balls with four fours.

    It his 38th fifty in ODIs.

    Keshav Maharaj is done for the day.

    Three singles from his last and he finishes with 1-32.

    Mahmudullah will be eyeing a half-century, which is the only thing Bangladesh can celebrate from this game. It has been very, very one sided.

  15. dropped catch

    Hasan dropped on fourpublished at 33 overs

    A drop? A chance? Tough to say.

    Kagiso Rabada gets one to nip back on Hasan Mahmud and it cuts him in half. There's a little inside edge, but it keeps dropping on Heinrich Klaasen and he can't grab it.

    It runs away for four too.

    Kagiso Rabada is coming back on.

    He picked up the wicket of Liton Das earlier.

    Keshav Maharaj continues and concedes just two singles.

    He's got 1-31 from his nine overs, but could have had a couple more, but has pitched the ball outside leg stump twice.

    Talking of that wicket-taking threat, here's how Gerald Coetzee removed Nasum Ahmed.

  19. Ban 131-7published at 31 overs

    Mahmudullah is at least putting up some fight.

    He picks up another boundary with a crunching pull shot into mid-wicket off Gerald Coetzee.

    The South Africa quick can be pretty expensive but he does offer a good wicket-taking threat.

    Thanks Tom.

    This is pretty flat, isn't it?

    At least Bangladesh have lasted long enough to give me another stint. I wasn't sure that was going to be the case at one point.
