Sarkar went on to hit a fine 65

Nantie Hayward claimed South Africa's first wicket when he had Al Sahariar caught in the slips.

Hannan and Habibul Bashar (40) then enjoyed the most productive stand of the innings as they added 84 for the second wicket.

Ntini finally had Hannan Sarkar caught at second slip at the start of the second session and two balls later Sanwar Hossein was trapped lbw for a duck.

In the subsequent over, bowled by Shaun Pollock, Habibul Bashar played a cut shot to a ball too close to his body and Mark Boucher gleefully held the chance.

Three wickets had fallen in nine balls and the damage was irreparable.

The scoring rate, which had been excellent in the first session, then ground to a virtual halt as captain Khaled Mashud and Rafiqul Islam attempted to build a recovery.

Back to the pavilion

Rafiqul's 44-ball effort had taken him to six when a square cut off Kallis went straight to Herschelle Gibbs at backward point.

And four overs later, Mashud followed him back to the pavilion when he was caught at third slip off his gloves.

After tea, things failed to improve for Bangladesh when Pollock claimed his second wicket.

The tail then completely collapsed to leave Alok Kapali stranded on 38 not out.
