Bangladesh vs Afghanistan, 2nd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

RSA 238/3 (90)CRR: 2.64

Bangladesh won by 88 runs

9:06 local: Having lost 3 early wickets in a big chase, Afghanistan needed a Liton-Mushfiqur-esque partnership to get them close to the target and the pair of Rahmat Shah and Najibullah did offer a glimmer of a hope with a 89-run stand. The re-introduction of Taskin, however, dashed all the hopes as he removed both set batters in the space of five overs to derail the chase. After Najibullah's departure around the 30th over, the visitors lost their last five wickets for 67 runs and never recovered. Hang on for the post-match talk....

Mehidy Miraz: Matt Henry to van der Dussen, no run, van der Dussen safely negotiates the last ball of day 1. On the batter's pads and van der Dussen flicks it to mid-wicket as he plays it off his front foot. Both the batters walk back to the pavilion as the NZ players follow them. That shall be stumps on day 1

Local Time, 05:14 GMT, 10:44 IST:A decent final session for New Zealand as they took a couple of wickets in it. However, the day has belonged to South Africa. The openers got them off to a good start adding 111 runs before Southee got rid of Elgar with a top notch delivery. Markram and Erwee added 88 runs for the second wicket with the latter notching up his maiden Test century. But both the set batters were gone within a span of two deliveries as Wagner dismissed Markram and Henry got Erwee caught behind. Rassie van der Dussen was dropped towards the end of the day, else South Africa could have been four down. Anyway, the visitors are in a good position at the moment. Will they be able to capitalize on this start tomorrow? Do join us for the live coverage of day 2 to find that out. For now, it's a goodbye from our side.
