Bangladesh and South Africa face off on the fifth day of the second and final Test at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka on Monday.

Bangladesh reached a score of 246 for the loss of eight wickets on the opening day, with Nasir Hossain batting on 13. No a single ball was bowled for the next three days however, with the scheduled days coinciding with the heavy monsoon downpour. The highlight of the Test so far has been Dale Steyn’s 400th Test wicket, which occurred on the first day of the match. A draw will see Bangladesh gain five points and South Africa lose six, one that could see a shift in the ICC Test rankings. UPDATES: Bangladesh vs South Africa, 2nd Test at Dhaka, Day 5
