South Africa spinner Keshav Maharaj took the key wicket of first-innings centurion Mahmudul Hasan Joy as Bangladesh slipped to 11 for three in pursuit of a victory target of 274 at the close of play on day four of the first test at Kingsmead on Sunday.

Bangladesh had bowled the home side out for 204 in their second innings and were left with a tricky final 20 minutes in the day to bat, during which they lost Mahmudul , fellow opener Shadman Islam and captain Mominul Haque .

South Africa opened the bowling with two spinners as Simon Harmer had Shadman caught at slip by Keegan Petersen before Maharaj clattered the stumps of Mahmudul. He then had Mominul trapped leg before wicket. Bangladesh showed that in South Africa’s second innings, bowling their hosts out cheaply and creating plenty of opportunities on the field.
