  1. Ban 93-6published at 25 overs

    Gerald Coetzee strays off line and gives Mahmudullah the chance to clip another shot off his pads for four.

    Mahmudullah is 28 from 44 balls. He has three ODI centuries to his name so knows how to bat. But it all feels a bit forlorn right now.

    Here is how Mehidy Hasan departed, sweeping straight to the fielder on the rope.

  3. Ban 89-6published at 24 overs

    Just the single off Keshav Maharaj's latest over, meaning Bangladesh are 293 runs behind.

    The heaviest World Cup defeat in terms of runs is 275.

    Yeah, they might just start playing it as they arrive home on the plane.

    By that calculation, England might be playing their best cricket in three weeks' time.

    It looks ominous for South Africa at the moment. It is almost too good from them.

    You don't want to play your perfect cricket now. You want to do that in three weeks' time.

  7. Ban 88-6published at 23 overs

    Lizaad Williams drifts on to leg stump allowing Mahmudullah to clip off his pads fine and down to the rope for four.

    Mahmudullah moves on to 23 from 34 deliveries.

    It was a comfortable catch. Bangladesh will want to forget this night quickly.

    There was an air of inevitability about that. It was just getting thrown higher and higher by Maharaj.

    WICKETpublished at 22 overs

    Mehidy c sub (Phehlukwayo) b Maharaj 11 (Ban 81-6)

    Keshav Maharaj strikes.

    The spinner gives it some air to lure Mehidy Hasan into the slog-sweep, but he can only pick out sub fielder Andile Phehlukwayo, who takes another catch on the square leg boundary.

  11. Ban 80-5published at 21 overs

    A boundary! For the first time since the 14th over.

    It is a nice shot as well, guided off the pads by Mehidy Hasan and through mid-wicket to the rope.

  12. Ban 72-5published at 20 overs

    Bangladesh run a couple of singles off Keshav Maharaj, plus a wide, as this match continues to trundle along.

    It is not exactly a thriller I have to admit.

    Kagiso Rabada is given a rest as Lizaad Williams returns.

  13. Not outpublished at 19.2 overs

    Mehidy survives - it was pitching outside leg.

    Good review in the end.

    This drifts in towards the leg stump. It's definitely hitting the stumps.

    It's gripped and turned to beat the outside edge. The question is whether it pitched on leg stump or just outside.

    The umpire had a long look at that but I thought that the ball spun and might have struck him on the back leg.

  16. Bangladesh reviewpublished at 19.2 overs

    Now then. Keshav Maharaj gets one to grip and turn, brushing Mehidy Hasan's front pad before hitting his back pad.

    The umpire's finger goes up, but Mehidy reviews.

  17. Ban 68-5published at 19 overs

    Bangladesh are just dealing in singles at the moment. It is more than five overs since we last saw a boundary.

    I don't think South Africa will be too concerned by the net run-rate but they'll still want to bowl Bangladesh out as quickly as possible to improve it as much as possible.

    This is going nowhere for Bangladesh.

  20. Ban 64-5published at 18 overs

    Keshav Maharaj races through another over, with just single off it. The innings is grinding to a halt.
