Bangladesh lost three wickets in quick succession as they set out in search of their first Test win against South Africa on the fourth day of the first Test at Kingsmead on Sunday.

Bangladesh, set to make 274 to win, were teetering at 11 for three at the close, with spinners Simon Harmer and Keshav Maharaj taking all three wickets.

South Africa appeared to be in control of the match when they reached 105-1 at lunch in their second innings. But Bangladesh came back strongly to bowl out the home side for 204.
