Match State: Stumps - Day 2
Good Morning!
Welcome to the live coverage of the third day's play of the first
Test match between Bangladesh and South Africa
Another hot and humid day in Chittagong
What remains to be seen today is that whether Bangladesh bowlers
manage to break this partnership between Rudolph and Dippenaar,
which is worth 323 runs now.
The umpires and players are in the middle, play is about to start.
The new ball has been taken - first up this morning
Talking about a minor miracle, there is some grass making an
appearance on this track!
Maybe some good news for the seamers, but that should also make it
easy for the batsmen to play the strokes
Mortaza to bowl with the new ball, which has been taken after 112
overs.
112.1 Mashrafe Mortaza to Dippenaar, no run, good line and length,
getting the ball to move away from the batsman, Dippenaar not at
all keen on playing it, leaves it alone
112.2 Mashrafe Mortaza to Dippenaar, one run, first run of the morning,
stands tall and punches the ball towards covers, as he was playing
it off the backfoot, took a while to get started to go for the
single, direct hit would have been trouble, as a matter of fact
would have been run out
112.3 Mashrafe Mortaza to Rudolph, no run, full in length, Rudolph seeing
the ball very well, shuffles a little, right in position to play
the defensive push
112.4 Mashrafe Mortaza to Rudolph, FOUR, on the pads, nice glance played,
four to the fine leg fence
112.5 Mashrafe Mortaza to Rudolph, no run, on leg and middle, slightly
slower delivery, played to short mid-wicket
News of some clouds moving in, there has been a bit of talk about
some rain making its way too!
112.6 Mashrafe Mortaza to Rudolph, one run, on his toes, guides the ball
towards third-man for a single, most importantly Rudolph keeps the
strike
End of over 113 (6 runs) South Africa 370/2 (lead by 197 runs)
Mashrafe Mortaza 18-2-84-1 (12nb) - Pedrollo End
JA Rudolph 175* (328b 22x4 1x6) HH Dippenaar 132* (315b 18x4 1x6)
Tapash Baisya to bowl
113.1 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, new ball or not, Baisya just cant
get it right here, wide outside the off, ball goes on the second
bounce to the keeper
113.2 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, hardly carrying to the keeper
again
113.3 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, well up to the batsman, forward
in defence
It is a very humid morning, and the threat of rain might make the
batsmen go for some quick runs
113.4 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, bye: two runs, can't blame the keeper for
this, ball hardly carrying to him, nasty bounce as he tried to
gather it
113.5 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, defended
113.6 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, (noball) no run
113.6 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, pushed to covers

him right below his ear
What a Test debut for this young man!
Match State: Drinks
Rudolph is up, is willing to carry on, has a big smile on his face
now
Talking to umpire Bowden who confirms with Rudolph whether he is ok
This coule be another bouncer from Mortaza, or will he go for the
yorker? The smarter fast bowler must go for the full length one
and get a wicket here

JA Rudolph 200* (372b 27x4 1x6) HH Dippenaar 170* (363b 25x4 1x6)
Match State: Drinks
Well, one hopes that Smith will declare the innings as soon as
Dippenaar gets to his double hundred. It will be tragic if he
decides not to!
128.1 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, one run, swung away for a single
128.2 Tapash Baisya to Dippenaar, one run, Dippenaar gives himself room -
cuts it down to third-man
128.3 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, no run, played back to the bowler
128.4 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, FOUR, Whoa! Cut away for four
128.5 Tapash Baisya to Rudolph, one run, full toss, driven to covers,
misfielded
128.6 Tapash Baisya to Dippenaar, no run, beaten outside the off, by the
lack of bounce
End of over 129 (7 runs) South Africa 447/2 (lead by 274 runs)
Tapash Baisya 23-8-70-1 (1nb) - Pedrollo End
JA Rudolph 206* (376b 28x4 1x6) HH Dippenaar 171* (365b 25x4 1x6)
129.1 Enamul Haque to Rudolph, one run
129.2 Enamul Haque to Dippenaar, SIX, This is insane cricket! Dippenaar
swings it high towards mid-wicket, the catch is taken - and the
silly man has one foot on the rope, which makes Bowden to raise
both his hands
129.3 Enamul Haque to Dippenaar, no run, loud appeal for something as
Dippenaar misses the sweep shot
129.4 Enamul Haque to Dippenaar, one run, this time he connects the sweep
129.5 Enamul Haque to Rudolph, one run, driven down the ground
129.6 Enamul Haque to Dippenaar, no run, here they all go up for a caught
behind, keeper takes a few steps, dives full length and puches the
catch, umpire Bowden has a wry smile - as he walks away
End of over 130 (9 runs) South Africa 456/2 (lead by 283 runs)
Enamul Haque 33-10-82-0 - Ispahani End
JA Rudolph 208* (378b 28x4 1x6) HH Dippenaar 178* (369b 25x4 2x6)
130.1 Alok Kapali to Rudolph, no run
130.2 Alok Kapali to Rudolph, two runs
130.3 Alok Kapali to Rudolph, two runs
130.4 Alok Kapali to Rudolph, FOUR, reverse swept, glorious shot for four
130.5 Alok Kapali to Rudolph, SIX, charges down the track and hits it
high in the air - a long long way past the sight-screen for a
massive six!
And that is that - Smith calls back his batemen. South Africa have
declared at 470/2
Here we go!
Pollock to bowl, looks like Mehrab on strike
0.1 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, rapped on the pad - a feeble
query for lbw, no damage done
0.2 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, beaten outside the off
0.3 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, beaten outside the off
0.4 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, getting the ball to move away,
thick edge and down towards gully
0.5 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run
0.6 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, maiden over!
End of over 1 (maiden) Bangladesh 0/0 (trail by 297 runs)
SM Pollock 1-1-0-0 - Pedrollo End
Javed Omar 0* (0b) Mehrab Hossain 0* (6b)
Surprise or shock? Willoughby - the least impressive of South
African bowlers - given the opportunity to bowl with the new ball
1.1 Willoughby to Javed Omar, wide: no run, and the decision proves to
be insane, Willoughby too nervous or whatever - bowls a big wide
1.1 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, outside the off, left alone
1.2 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, this one bends back in, hit too
high, doesn't stop Willoughby from appealing
1.3 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run
1.4 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, Willoughy couldn't have asked for
any better, three slips and a gully, bowls full on the off, pushed
to covers
1.5 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, wide outside the off, hardly any
pace and bounce to take the ball to Boucher
If Smith was hoping for a wicket or two before Lunch - and hence
declared denying Dippenaar a chance to get to his 200, Willoughby
is not the bowler to be on. Ntini has pace to rattle these batsmen
1.6 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, well outside the off, not a hance
of getting a wicket with these
End of over 2 (1 run) Bangladesh 1/0 (trail by 296 runs)

Mehrab Hossain 0* (6b) Javed Omar 0* (6b)
2.1 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, Pollock bowls straight - keeps
low, defended, sadly not enough pace to trouble the opening
batsman
2.2 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, legbye: one run, drifting down the leg
2.3 Pollock to Javed Omar, no run, outside the off, left alone
2.4 Pollock to Javed Omar, one run, tucked around the corner
2.5 Pollock to Mehrab Hossain, no run, forward in defence

off, smashes this one through covers for four
3.4 Willoughby to Mehrab Hossain, no run, left alone
3.5 Willoughby to Mehrab Hossain, no run, defended
3.6 Willoughby to Mehrab Hossain, no run, left alone again, and that is

12.2 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, one run, bowling around the wicket, short

outside edge? So close!
12.4 Ntini to Javed Omar, one run, tucked around the corner for a single

This is below average effort from the experienced South African

13.1 Pollock to Javed Omar, no run, full in length, just outside the
off, well forward in defence
We are into the 14th over and the score is just 16/1. The bowling

batsman play at it, left alone

14.1 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, no run, bouncer, hit on the body
14.2 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, short - one too many, Bashar helps
himself with a boundary, pulling it away in fine style
14.3 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, no run, short again, pulled straight to
the fielder at square leg, crowd that it was a catch, firmly hit
shot - taken on the first bounce
Ntini goes round the wicket, the ploy is quite evident, 'dig-it-in-
short'
14.4 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, FOUR, ho ho ho, Ntini gets punished,
Bashar take a bow! Plays a wonderful pull shot for four
14.5 Ntini to Habibul Bashar, no run

get some bat on it

Here comes the bowling change. For the people who had hoped for

medium pace

Another bowling change - not Adams! This is unthinkable -
Willoughby to replace Ntini
18.1 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run
18.2 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, loud shout for lbw, too loud a
shout, umpire Bowden must show the yellow card or even the red (if
there are any) for such appeals, ball was pitching well outside
the line of leg
18.3 Willoughby to Javed Omar, FOUR, short and wide, cut away in fine
style for four
18.4 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, bouncer! goes for the hook,
beaten by the lack of pace
18.5 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, wide outside the off, goes on the
bounce to the keeper
18.6 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, this one kicks up off a good
length, does well to keep it down safely

Bangladesh..., short ball and cut away powerfully for four
24.2 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, oh! Square drive, straight to the
fielder
24.3 Willoughby to Javed Omar, no run, much better delivery, but not
good enough to make the batsman play at it

Smith and Ntini having a discussion, makes a few changes to the
field - and that too with 10.5 overs remaining, this is only
wasting more time - or adding more time to the day'splay - depends
on how you look at it!

new angle here, trying almost everything, Omar gets behind the
line and defends it nicely
58.3 Ntini to Javed Omar, no run, angling away, Smith fields at gully
58.4 Ntini to Javed Omar, no run, good sharp bouncer, like a cat on a

That is that for the third day.
Match State: Stumps - Day 3
Good morning!
Welcome to the live coverage of day-4 of the first test match
between Bangladesh and South Africa
Bangladesh are 185/5, they trail by 112 runs.
It was a couple of wickets late in the day for Adams that turned
things around for South Africa
Adams will be the key man this morning, he has a good chance to
take his second 5-fer in this Test
As for Bangladesh, there is hardly any batting left, a couple of
early wickets this morning - should hurry the inevitable - A South
African Test win
Akram Khan is the new batsman
Ashraful is at the non-striker's end
Adams has to complete his 12th over, five more balls to be bowled.
He had picked the wicket of Salim last evening with the first ball
of that over
68.2 Adams to Akram Khan, FOUR, outside the off, steers it down to
third-man for four
68.3 Adams to Akram Khan, one run, taps the ball to the on side, goes
through for the single, struggling to make it through
68.4 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, much better ball, forces
Ashraful to defend
68.5 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, pushed towards mid-off
68.6 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, beats the outside edge
End of over 69 (5 runs) Bangladesh 190/5 (trail by 107 runs)

Depends on how you look at it - it is going to be Willoughby to
bowl!
69.1 Willoughby to Akram Khan, no run, angling away, left alone
69.2 Willoughby to Akram Khan, no run, angling away, steered to backward
point
69.3 Willoughby to Akram Khan, no run, not making the batsman play aat
this one
69.4 Willoughby to Akram Khan, no run, ordinary ball, ordinary push,
Akram Khan is hit on the thigh

70.3 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, a polite appeal for lbw, not
out
70.4 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, FOUR, this is hilarious, umpire Bowden
laughs as he signals the boundary, short delivery - cut away
towards the point fence, Willoughby gets right behind the ball -
and then lets it go through his legs, what should have been a
single turns out to be a four!
70.5 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, no run
70.6 Adams to Mohammad Ashraful, two runs, cut away again, misfielded by
Willoughby - who just can't do anything right here, gives away the
extra run

cricket - Willoughby to Akram Khan...
71.5 Willoughby to Akram Khan, two runs, juicy half volley on the leg
stump, fails to smash it for four, tucks it away for a couple of
runs, shows the quality of cricket - when these two are in action
71.6 Willoughby to Akram Khan, no run, safe option, fire it wide outside
the off, Akram Khan only too happy to see it go by

73.1 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, rising delivery, but not
enough pace to hurry the batsman, through to Boucher
Whatever the logic is, willoughby musn't be bowling ahead of Ntini
and Pollock - with two new batsmen at the crease
73.2 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, defended
73.3 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, full in length, a couple

So, there is no hurry at all from the part of the South African
skipper, whose logic is a bit amusing - continues with Willoughby
75.1 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, outside the off, short one
too, left alone
75.2 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, no run, left alone again
75.3 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, FOUR, Makes Willoughby look far
worse than an ordinary club bowler, digs it in short, pulls him
off his front foot - four!
75.4 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, FOUR, and again! Pulled away in
fine style, Willoughby threatening to bombard with harmless
bouncers, Ashraful enjoying this good meal - pulls for four
75.5 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, two runs, full and on the pads,
flicked towards the long leg fence, good fielding prevents the
boundary
75.6 Willoughby to Mohammad Ashraful, OUT: Terrible! This one sits up
outside the off, begging to be hit anywhere, Ashraful picks the
spot - hits it in the air towards extra cover, Smith takes a good
catch.
