Bangladesh were down and out after they were made to toil hard in the field by the South African batters, and once again Markram made the right call by declaring towards the end of day 2. In less than 10 overs, South Africa managed to pick up four wickets and further strengthen their hold on the Test. With a slightly early start on day 3, Rabada put the morning conditions to good use and took early wickets. Bangladesh were reduced to 48/8, however, Mominul and Taijul put up a fight with a 100-plus partnership for the 9th wicket. Their resilience came to an end in the post-lunch session when Mominul was trapped lbw by Senuran Muthusamy. Rabada was the pick of the bowlers with a superb five-wicket haul. South Africa enforced the follow-on having gained a huge lead of 400-plus, and it were the South African left-arm spinners who broke Bangladesh's spine in the second innings. Muthusamy took four wickets, while Maharaj bagged a five-wicket haul as Bangladesh were bundled out for a paltry total of 143. A thoroughly professional performance by the Proteas over the course of three days. Stay around for the presentations.
