Bangladesh has an edge towards the match but four wickets are down, wich is only success by South Africa till now, So test match is still open as it would be any body's match, Top test cricket team like Pakistan and Australia always depends upon 2nd innings performance to win the test matches especially after first innings problems, Bangladesh were bit favorite of the match that they could have lead of more than one hundred runs, Good day for South Africans who got six more wickets today and not allowed Bangladesh Batsmen to build innings, Afterwards they bat for 61 runs in 21overs and disoppoint the opposition. they needed to tackle lower middle order and the tail to get rid frist innings pressure and they did both with ball and bat, As we already mentioned in a blog post that South African Cricket team is under pressure which was shown in last two days as well and admitted by one of South African player, but they looked to use thier experience today. Come on Bangladesh you can win it, not in very good position but have a chance to settle down and win it easily at the end, it is record breaking year for Tamim and company as they are doing some thing which is not done by any othe Bangladesh Cricket team in thier history.

Match is evenly balanced and open for both teams, Test maych with two days demands both teams to perform a match winning character to claim it, Now the game of nerves for both the teams.
Only the team can perform better who would keep its nerves, South Africa can bounce back strongly but Bangal tigers are in well form as a team here in this tour especially after winning the ODI series from the same opponents, What a match it turn out be at this stage.
A bounce back by South Africa in today's show which would be required by Bangladesh Cricket tomorrow.
A good Bangladesh show too against a top test team that they got lead against South Africa, Lead of 78 runs in frist innings is impressing according available statistics of Bangladesh and South Africa particularly in tests. Batting for more than 116 overs against Steyn & company is great effort. I appreciate the effort of Bangal Tigers they just need a favor of luck to put the match in thier side.
Many things left to happand in upcoming last days, Hope for more tighty thriller.
