The Proteas are currently in a huddle as the Bangladeshi openers make their way out to the centre. With around 11 minutes to go till the end of day's play, we will only get 2-3 overs in. Let's see how this little period goes for both teams.

Debutant Mustafizur Rahman then took three wickets in 4 balls to derail South Africa's innings. Hashim Amla, JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock were his victims. Although wickets were tumbling at one end, Temba Bavuma was calm at the other end and along with Vernon Philander and Simon Harmer, managed to stitch some useful partnerships. In the process, he also registered his maiden Test fifty before being the last man to be dismissed. Mustafizur finished with 4 wickets, while Jubair Hossain bagged three. Although Mohammad Shahid did not get a wicket, he was exceptional with the ball and also had a few catches dropped.

When South Africa made 104 runs for the loss of Stiaan van Zyl in the morning session, many believed that they were on course to post a massive score having opted to bat first. However, Bangladesh fought hard after lunch and stunned the visitors. Mohammad Shahid bowled five consecutive maiden overs after lunch and built the pressure. Soon, both Dean Elgar and Faf du Plessis departed in quick succession, thereby missing their fifties by a whisker.

83.4 - Mustafizur Rahman to Bavuma, out Caught by Jubair Hossain!! Mustafizur puts the final nail in the coffin. South Africa have been bowled out for 248, their second lowest total against Bangladesh in Tests. This was banged in short outside off by Mustafizur, Bavuma goes for the pull and doesn't keep it down. Jubair at deep square leg gets under it and takes a simple catch.

The ball sneaks under Mominul's arm when he was taking evasive action. The ball hits the arm and gets stuck between his left hand and thigh.

The impact was in front of middle and the ball was going on to crash into leg-stump. South Africa have lost half their side and are in a spot of bother. Duminy lbw b Mustafizur Rahman 0(1)

Mustafizur Rahman to Duminy, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Loud shout for LBW. Will Bangladesh review? Yes, they will. This looked close to the naked eye. It's a legal delivery, where's the point of impact? Was it sliding down leg? No bat involved, it's hit Duminy around the knee-roll. Snicko confirms that there is no bat. It should crash into the stumps for the decision to be overturned. Three REDS, Duminy is OUT

Welcome back.. Two slips and a gully for Mustafizur

Elgar and du Plessis got out in the space of three balls which eventually ended a solid 78-run stand between them. Shakib and Taijul made it hard for the new batters and it took quite a while for the duo (Amla and Bavuma) to get going. With 2 wickets in the session, and that too the wickets of settled batsmen, the home team have made a good comeback. Rain is predicted throughout the day, but thankfully the weather has been kind so far. Let's hope it stays the same for the rest of the day. We will be back at 14:30 local time. Stay tuned.....

Tea, Day 1: Jubair Hossain, the leg-spinner, was asked to open the bowling straightaway after lunch. The youngster got some good turn and bounce off the surface while the pacers kept it tight at one end. As a result, dot-balls kept building and the Proteas could only score 26 runs in the first hour of play. Just when both batsmen (Faf and Elgar) looked all set to reach their respective fifties, a double-strike from the Bangla bowlers dented the visitors.

Welcome back! The players are out in the middle. Jubair Hossain will open the post-lunch proceedings, he has a slip and a short leg in place

Mahmudullah was introduced in the 11th over and he was successful in claiming the wicket of Van Zyl in his second over. That was the only brief moment of success Bangladesh could enjoy in the session. du Plessis was positive throughout and ensured that he kept the scoreboard ticking alongside Elgar. It will be interesting to see the approach of the Bangladeshi bowlers in the post-lunch session. Join us back at 12:10 local for all the action from that session.

South Africa opted to bat on a flat track and they must be happy with their progress at the end of first session. Having lost only one wicket, the visitors have showed good technique in dealing with spinners. Mustafizur Rahman made his debut for the home team but couldn't really create any problems for the Proteas. While Dean Elgar went at a steady pace, Van Zyl scored quickly and pounced on the bad deliveries in.

On the back of Mahmudullah, Tamim and Litton Das' well-compiled fifties, the hosts took a handy lead. Shakib Al Hasan also made his presence felt with a decent contribution. Even Mohammad Shahid played a breezy knock. The home team will surely be happy with their position as on a slow deck that is also staying low, it is good to be in front after the first innings. Steyn and Harmer picked up three wickets apiece for the visitors.

South Africa have taken a review against Taijul, for caught behind. There seems to be a noise. Morkel is fine with the front foot. The sound comes before the ball comes close to the bat.

Welcome back for the second session. After a slight delay due to rain, we are back with the live action. On the back of Litton Das and Shakib's 57-run stand, the hosts hold a slight edge. So, can the visitors strike back or will Bangladesh take a sizeable lead?

12:20 Local Time, 06:20 GMT, 11:50 IST: Here's some good news fellas! The rain has stopped and the covers are coming off. Play will resume at 12:40 local.

12:04 Local Time, 06:04 GMT, 11:34 IST: Well! Not a pleasant sign folks! It has started to rain heavily. Covers are firmly placed all over the square. So that means the start of post-lunch proceedings has been delayed.

South African bowlers have done a relatively better job today by bowling stump-to-stump line. Despite overcast conditions, their bowlers didn't generate much swing with the pitch playing slow and low throughout. Bangladesh have done well by not losing too many wickets in what was a crucial session in the context of the game. The last recognized pair now have a task on their hands, as they look to take a sizeable lead. For South Africa, it's a simple equation - they need wickets, especially, these two (Shakib and Litton). We will be back at 12:10 local for all the action from the post-lunch session. Stay tuned....

Lunch, Day 3: Bangladesh were cautious in their approach in the first hour of play with a constant drizzle in the background. Steyn, who was wicket-less in his first 15 overs, managed to prise out the big scalp in the form of Bangladeshi skipper. Rahim was struck plumb in front, but it needed a review from South Africa to alter the onfield verdict which initially was not out. Shakib kept his cool and held the innings together. Litton Das looked tentative for a brief period, but steadied himself with time.

Pitch Report: 'There is a little bit of grass on it, but it might hold up a little bit more. There are some bare patches as well. This is still a good batting track, but the bowlers, especially the spinners might get the ball to fizz through,' reckons Morne van Wyk

Despite the rain in the morning, the groundstaff have done a brilliant job of getting the ground ready in time for a prompt start. Stay tuned.

09:04 Local Time, 03:04 GMT, 08:34 IST: It had rained in the morning, but some good news as it has stopped now. So, the covers are being removed.

For the visitors, Harmer was the best bowler on show. He was extracting sharp turn and getting a bit of bounce, too. Rain though, played spoilsport as 25 overs were lost for the day. Bangladesh will hope for Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan to continue the good work. On the other hand, South Africa will look for early wickets otherwise, the home team can take the game away from their grasp. Everyone concerned will also be keeping a close eye on the skies, as showers are forecast for the day.

Day 3: Hello and a warm welcome to our ball-by-ball coverage of the Test match between South Africa and Bangladesh. In a game full of fluctuating fortunes, the hosts hold the edge going into day 3. In what turned out to be an absorbing day's cricket, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah showed patience and self-belief to compile well-constructed fifties. However, the South African camp would be pleased with the fact that they were able to prise out both of them, before they could get a big score.

In fact, the wicket of Mahmudullah just before the heavens opened up and it started to rain, would have lifted the spirits of the South African camp. Unfortunately, the rain didn't relent and in the end, the play was called off for the day. Hopefully, the weather will be much better tomorrow. We will be here nice and early as always. Do join us for all the action from day 3.

However, Bangladesh would rue the fact that both of them got in, but couldn't convert it into a big one. Simon Harmer, the off-spinner, was the pick of the bowlers. He got sharp turn and extra bounce. Philander concentrated on bowling a stump-to-stump line and was rewarded with the scalp of Mahmudullah late in the day.

On a day when we saw attritional cricket, it was Bangladesh, who got their noses in front. Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah were the key performers for the hosts and they essayed well-measured fifties.

16:53 Local Time, 10:53 GMT, 16:23 IST: As rain continues to fall, the umpires have decided that no further play will be possible and it is stumps on day 2.

16:46 Local Time, 10:46 GMT, 16:16 IST: It is still raining at the ground and chances of any resumption looks bleak. We are waiting for the official word. We will let you know once we get more information.

16:05 Local Time, 10:05 GMT, 15:35 IST: It has started spitting once again. We just had one ball before rain once again forced the covers back on. The players walk off as the groundsmen cover the square.

15:46 Local Time, 09:46 GMT, 15:16 IST: Unfortunately, it is still raining in Chittagong. We have to wait and watch whether one will get to see any further play.

15:23 Local Time, 09:23 GMT, 14:53 IST: Just when the players were making their way out to the middle, the drizzle has made a return. For now, the covers are once again being put in place. Maybe, it has gotten heavier as well. We will update you as and when we have more information.

15:16 Local Time, 09:16 GMT, 14:46 IST: Good news folks! The rain has stopped and hopefully, the players will be back out soon. For now, the covers are staying on though. Scratch that! The covers are being peeled off and we should get live action soon.

15:12 Local Time, 09:12 GMT, 14:42 IST: Finally, the rain we have been expecting since yesterday, has arrived. The umpires have decided to take the players off as the groundsmen bring the covers out. Hopefully, it will only be a passing shower.

There was a loud appeal and the umpire raised his finger immediately. It would have gone on to clip the leg stump. That would have stayed out had Mahmudullah reviewed it.

Tea, day 2: Bangladesh continued to collect runs at a steady pace in the second session. Both Tamim and Mahmudullah essayed fifties. However, Tamim lost his concentration and in an attempt to play the sweep shot, he was castled by Elgar. On the other hand, Mahmudullah played with a calm head on his shoulders and took the hosts to lunch. For the visitors, the pacers couldn't make much of an impact. However, Harmer extracted some extra turn and bounce. It was Elgar though, who took the lone wicket for them in this session. Join us at 14:30 local for the post-tea session.

Welcome back. The players are striding out to the centre. Steyn will start the proceedings after the lunch break.

Among the seamers, Morne Morkel, Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander bowled with decent control, but weren't really able to trouble the batsmen. With Tamim and Mahmudullah still at the crease, the hosts would hope to get themselves into a good position by the end of the second session. Join us at 12:10 local for the post lunch session.

In what turned out to be a keen tussle between bat and ball, South Africa made inroads into the opposition ranks. It was Simon Harmer, who got the ball to turn and bounce, and was rewarded with the wicket of Mominul Haque. The visitors also had a lucky break in the sense that Kayes was stumped down the leg-side off van Zyl's bowling.

de Kock and Tamim are having some verbal exchanges. There is a bit of pushing and shoving from both of them. This doesn't look good and definitely, the match referee will take this into account when he prepares his match report. Hashim Amla and the umpires had to intervene in the middle of the heated exchange. Dale Steyn has his arms around Tamim as he tries to calm the Bangladeshi opener down. Not to forget, Rossouw shouldered Tamim during the ODI series as well. The players walk off the field for now, with du Plessis and Amla sporting smiles.

It has to be remembered that the previous delivery turned away and bounced extra too. So that could be a reason why Mominul was playing for the turn there and went after it with the cut shot.

18.2 - van Zyl to Kayes, out Stumped!! Well, quick reflexes from de Kock has resulted in South Africa taking the first wicket. It was straying down leg, Kayes tried to flick it, missed it, the wicket-keeper went to his right, collected the ball and whipped the bails off in a flash. Kayes loses his balance, his back foot was in the air and that resulted in his dismissal. Superb reflexes shown by de Kock there. He deserves a lot of credit for that wicket. Kayes st de Kock b van Zyl 26(73) [4s-3]

van Zyl to Kayes, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!

Third umpire has been pressed into service for a stumping decision. van Zyl's front foot is fine, the batsman seems to have lifted his back foot when de Kock whipped the bails off. This might be the end of Kayes. Yes, he has been given OUT.

The South African players are making their way out to the middle, followed by the Bangladeshi openers, Kayes and Tamim. Steyn, who is wearing a head band, will start the proceedings on day 2. Tamim will be on strike. There are two slips and a gully in place. Here we go then...

Pitch Report: 'It still looks like a very good batting track. There's some grass rolled in as well. With the cloud cover around, the seamers might get some assistance from the track,' reckons Morne van Wyk

If we look back at South Africa's innings, Faf du Plessis and Dean Elgar seemed to have taken them to a good position. However, once both of them were dismissed, they collapsed in a heap. Now, South Africa will depend on Dale Steyn and Co. to strike back. Unfortunately, showers are predicted for the day. Fingers crossed that we will get a full day's play.

Day 2: Hello and a warm welcome to our ball-by-ball coverage of the Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa. Yesterday, Bangladesh put up a sterling show to skittle out the visitors for a modest total. It was Mustafizur Rahman, who picked up four wickets on his debut. In fact, in a single over, he sent back Hashim Amla, JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock to the pavilion. The spin trio of Jubair Hossain, Taijul Islam and Shakib Al Hasan gave him good support. The seamer, Mohammad Shahid also bowled well, but without much luck. For the hosts, the promising Temba Bavuma gave a good account of himself with a well-constructed fifty.

Stumps, Day 1: Bangladesh will be very happy with how things have turned out today. After their bowlers ran through the Proteas' batting line-up, Tamim and Kayes did well to keep the South African bowlers out for a tricky period of just 2 overs. They will now look for a good first innings lead when they come out to bat tomorrow. The South Africans though will have an uphill task to bowl the Tigers out early. However, things can change pretty quickly as we witnessed today. We will be here nice and early. Don't forget to join us at 09:30 local to catch all the action from day 2.

0.6 - Steyn to Kayes, 3 runs, full delivery outside off, Kayes drives it uppishly through cover but manages to get it in the gap. Bavuma chases it down and stops it from rolling over the rope with his boot.

0.5 - Steyn to Kayes, no run, on a good length and outside off, Kayes looks to drive off the front foot, gets beaten on the outside edge

Steyn aborts in his delivery stride. He could well have injured himself. Had he gone through with the delivery, it would have been a huge no-ball. His front foot nudged his back foot while he was taking off for the jump and that's why he didn't bowl the ball

0.4 - Steyn to Kayes, 2 runs, short of length delivery on middle and leg, Kayes tucks it away behind square on the on-side, gets off the mark with a brace

That's all we have for you from this game. Hopefully, the second Test match that starts next Thursday, will have better weather conditions. The forecast at least is more promising than Chittagong. Don't forget to join us then to catch all the action from that game. It's time to say goodbye now. Ciao!

Mustafizur: Feeling very good (on getting MoM on Test debut). This was my first Test and I wanted to do well. That was my target. It's the world's best Test team (talking about South Africa). The support for the team is incredible. I have no intention to break records as such, my target is always to do well in the next game.

Mustafizur Rahman is the Man of the Match for his bowling figures of 4/37 on Test debut. He spoke in Bengali and we have translated his interview for you.

Rahim: 'Obviously, there are a few positives. With the rain, you just can't help it though. Scoring 300, taking a lead and bowling them out was a pretty good achievement. The youngsters, especially Mustafizur did really well. Shahid bowled his heart out on a placid track. Tamim, Mahmudullah batted really well. Litton Das chipped in too. Hopefully, we can take this confidence forward and do well. The effort he (Shahid) put in on a flat track was pretty good. These are good signs for Bangladeshi cricket, bowling and batting well like this. We have had the confidence for the past 1-1.5 years. When you do well against the number one side, it gives you more confidence. Hopefully, we can continue with this form in the next game as well. '

Amla: 'It's been a good Test match. We had good 2-3 days of Test cricket. The game was evenly poised going into the last two days. Maybe, we were slightly ahead going forward. Not everyone is going to score big in a Test match, Bavuma, Faf and Elgar played well. Both teams put in a lot of hardwork, but the rain had the last laugh. The bowlers did exceptionally well, bowled their hearts out. Morne Morkel, Steyn and Harmer too did really well. We'll have to see what we encounter in Dhaka. Everyone has enjoyed being here and it's time for us to move to Dhaka for the last leg of our tour.'

12:00 Local Time, 06:00 GMT, 11:30 IST: Play has been called off. As suspected, rain has once again ruined the day. The umpires made an inspection and decided to suspend play for the day. For the first time ever, a Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa has ended in a draw. After the one-off Test against India, rain once again had the final say in this game as well. We have lost way too many days of cricket to the monsoon season. Let's just hope that these rain clouds stay away from the second Test match.

11:44 Local Time, 05:44 GMT, 11:14 IST: The rain has eased off and there's only a light drizzle at the moment. The umpires are expected to make an inspection in a little while. In the meantime, the groundstaff are working on the wet patches.

10:50 Local Time, 04:50 GMT, 10:20 IST: Rain hasn't stopped. The prediction for rest of the day looks very bleak. However, we might get some news once the official inspection is done.

Weather update: On expected lines, it is a damp start to the day as we have got information that it is raining in Chittagong. The players are still in the hotel. On the other hand, umpires might arrive at the ground at around 11.30 am to inspect the ground.

For Bangladesh, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah and Litton Das looked in good touch. It was Simon Harmer, who bowled with flight and guile for the visitors to take three scalps. Today, too, thunderstorms are predicted for the day and even if the weather clears up a bit, the groundsmen will have a task on their hands to get the ground ready for play.

Day 5: Hello and a warm welcome to our coverage of the Test between Bangladesh and South Africa. Due to incessant rain, day 4 was abandoned without a single ball being bowled. It is a pity that this game is heading towards a draw, as it was nicely poised. If Bangladesh bowled out the visitors for a below par total in the first innings and took a handy lead, then South Africa came back strongly in the second innings with the openers putting on a fine stand.

It's official! With relentless rain in Chittagong, the umpires have decided that no play will be possible today. For the first time, a Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa will go into the fifth day. Like the one-off Test between Bangladesh and India, this Test match also seems to be heading towards a draw. We will be here nice and early as always for the fifth day. However, with more rain expected tomorrow, we'll be lucky if we get to see some action. Till then, it's goodbye from here. Take care.

13:35 Local Time, 07:35 GMT, 13:05 IST: Cricket South Africa have tweeted: The 4th day of the Test between the Proteas and @BCBtigers has been called off due to rain. #BanvSA

13:15 Local Time, 07:15 GMT, 12:45 IST: Unfortunately, the rain hasn't stopped yet. A few Bangladeshi players are at the ground, but with unrelenting rain, there's no play possible for now.

12:10 Local Time, 06:10 GMT, 11:40 IST: Lunch time is over, but the sky is still spitting in Chittagong. The forecast for the rest of the day today, looks extremely bleak.

11:30 Local Time, 05:30 GMT, 11:00 IST: Rain has not abated. Lunch has been taken, but chances of an immediate resumption are very bleak. The players still haven't left their hotels

10:50 Local Time, 04:50 GMT, 10:20 IST: Sigh! Rain continues to fall and the covers are still in place. We might not get any play in the first session.

10:00 Local Time, 04:00 GMT, 09:30 IST: It is still raining in Chittagong. The covers are firmly in place. It is not going to be an easy task for the groundsmen to get the outfield ready, considering the number of puddles one can see on the covers. Let's hope the rain stops soon, but it is quite heavy for now.

Neil Manthorp has tweeted: I can safely safe "no play before lunch" and probably no play before tomorrow...

09:07 Local Time, 03:07 GMT, 08:37 IST: We have got information that both the teams haven't left the hotel as it is raining heavily.

Weather update: It has been raining since 3 AM and the match is unlikely to start on time. Unfortunately, even for tomorrow the forecast doesn't look promising.

South Africa will hope that the overnight pair of Dean Elgar and Stiaan van Zyl, can string together a big stand and set the platform for the middle-order to come into play. On the other hand, the home team will look to make inroads into the opposition ranks. Unfortunately, today, too, thunderstorms are predicted for the day.

Day 4: Hello and a warm welcome to our ball-by-ball coverage of the Test between Bangladesh and South Africa. The game has turned out to be a keen tussle between bat and ball. If the hosts skittled out their fancied opponents for a modest score in the first innings and were able to gain a decent lead, then the visitors hit back by reducing the deficit quickly. Now, South Africa trail by just 17 runs. For the hosts, Tamim Iqbal, Mamhmudullah and Litton Das essayed crucial fifties. However, Simon Harmer, the off-spinner, bowled with verve and purpose to take three wickets and keep the visitors in the game. Dale Steyn, too, picked up three scalps and now has 399 Test wickets to his name.

Do join us early tomorrow as we bring you all the action from day 4. Until then, it's a goodbye from all of us here.

At the end of day 3, the game is evenly poised. The hosts on the back of fine fifties by Tamim, Mahmudullah and Litton Das got a handy lead. For the visitors, Dale Steyn and Harmer picked up three wickets apiece. In fact, Steyn now is just one wicket short of snaring 400 scalps in Tests. Elgar and van Zyl then were able to reduce the deficit quickly. Now, they only trail by 17 runs. Unfortunately, the rain arrived late in the day and play was called off.

16:56 Local Time, 10:56 GMT, 16:26 IST: So, that will be it for the day. Play has been called off. With such dark clouds, it was always going to be tough to get any further play. For the second successive day, we have lost more than 20 overs.

16:45 Local Time, 10:45 GMT, 16:15 IST: The rain has finally arrived in Chittagong. It is not heavy, but steady enough to keep the players out and the covers on.

16:21 Local Time, 10:21 GMT, 15:51 IST: The light meters are out. Kettleborough takes the reading. The players walk off as the light has faded. It has not yet started to rain. However, the groundsmen have got the covers out. The umpires are still in the middle. The good sign is that it is getting brighter. The dark clouds are moving across the ground quickly.

21.1 - Jubair Hossain to Elgar, 1 run, comes over the wicket, bowls a full toss on the stumps, driven down the ground to long-on

Welcome back. The players are striding out to the middle. Shakib will start the proceedings after tea.

For the visitors, Simon Harmer was the best bowler on show and was rewarded with three wickets. On the other hand, Dale Steyn picked up the scalps of a few lower-order batsmen and now is just one short of snaring 400 wickets in Tests. Elgar and van Zyl then took them to tea. It will be interesting to see how South Africa's batsmen approach their innings in the final session.

Tea: In the second session, Litton Das' well-measured fifty piloted the hosts to a handy lead. Shakib Al Hasan also gave a good account of himself. Lower down the order, Mohammad Shahid cracked an entertaining innings to put the visitors' much-vaunted attack under even more pressure.
