Who better than Tristan Holme to wrap up today's proceedings: "The day progressed more or less as expected, with South Africa chipping away at the Bangladeshi batsmen before finishing things off with the second new ball. An inability to maintain focus for long stretches of time, rather than poor technique, was what proved the batsmen's downfall. That will be a source of frustration for the tourists as they reflect this evening. Despite losing time this evening, Bangladesh are likely to have a long time to bat if they want to save the game." And we are starting at the usual time - 10am," he adds. Until tomorrow, cheers!!
"Just waiting for stumps to be called. Should be soon," pings Tristan from the ground.
16:46 local: The onfield umpires gather for a chat and they don't seem too pleased with the light. For now, they have asked the players to leave the field as the fourth umpire ambles in with the light-meter. 2.764 is the reading we're informed. The covers are coming on as well. I'm afraid that'll be it for the day. Waiting for the official confirmation though
