Proteas chasing 179

The Proteas have rested Mark Boucher, Jacques Kallis, Makhaya Ntini and Dale Steyn following a Test whitewash but were on top throughout, reducing the hosts to four for 89 early in the innings with only Tamim Iqbal providing any resistance.

The opener knocked 82 off 98 balls but had little support from his team-mates, with 15 the next highest score.

Bangladesh called up three uncapped players - Raqibul Hassan, Dhiman Ghosh and Mosharraf Hossain Rubel - and Mohammad Ashraful, who has yet to taste victory in a one-day international since his appointment as captain in June 2007, won the toss and chose to bat.

Junaid Siddique (six) was first to go when he top-edged a pull off Charl Langeveldt for Paul Harris to take a comfortable catch at mid-off.

Nel's 100th wicket was Shahriar Nafees, who was tempted by a delivery outside off stump and edged to be caught behind by AB de Villiers, wearing the gloves in the absence of Boucher.

Tamim was standing firm at the other end, but his partners were falling at regular intervals.

Captain Ashraful was next to go, trapped lbw by Albie Morkel before Harris had Shakib Al Hasan caught at mid-wicket by Herschelle Gibbs.

Tamim and Raqibul Hasan put on 42 before the opener's valiant knock came to an end when he holed out to Morkel at long-on, giving Harris his second wicket.

Just seven runs later Hasan gifted Langeveldt his second victim, driving straight at Johan Botha at mid-off for 15, with Bangladesh's innings in turmoil.
