• South Africa bowlers earn dominant victory over Bangladesh

  South Africa wrapped up the second Test against Bangladesh inside three days by hammering their hosts by an innings and 273 runs in Chattogram.

  The victory made it a 2-0 clean sweep in the series for the tourists, who had started the third day in a great spot having left Bangladesh 38-4 in their first innings at stumps on Wednesday.

  The Proteas tore through the Bangladesh middle order before bowling them all out for 159 in their first innings.

  Seamer Kagiso Rabada, on the way to a five-for, got the ball rolling with the dismissal of captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (nine) before Mushfiqur Rahim was caught by Tony de Zorzi off Dane Paterson for a duck.

  Wickets continued to fall in quick succession, with Mehidy Hasan Miraz (one) and Mahidul Islam Ankon (zero) both dismissed by Rabada to leave Bangladesh 48-8. Despite a late rally, they were all out for 159 and South Africa enforced the follow-on to good effect.

  Bangladesh made another poor start to their innings, losing Mahmudul Hasan Joy (11), Shadman Islam (six), Zakir Hasan (seven) and Mominul Haque (zero) for just 43 runs, as Keshav Maharaj (5-59) and Senuran Muthusamy leading South Africa's charge to victory.

  This defeat was Bangladesh's fifth Test loss in a row at home, which equals their worst run since October 2011 and November 2012.

  But the third day of this test was all about South Africa's bowlers, who took 16 wickets in total.

  Rabada was first to take a five-for in the first innings, but was later joined by Maharaj. Senuran Muthasamy, meanwhile, took career-best figures of 4-45 in the second innings.

• Mulder and Muthusamy partnership puts South Africa on the brink

  South Africa are on the brink of sealing a series sweep after another dominant display on the second day of their second Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram. 

  Wiaan Mulder became the third maiden centurion for the Proteas in the Test, with the tourists declaring on 575-6 before ripping through Bangladesh's top order to leave them 38-4 at stumps.

  De Zorzi, the hero on day one, started at the crease with David Bedingham, and the pair continued to hammer home their advantage, adding significant runs to their overnight totals. 

  Taijul Islam, on his way to a five-wicket haul, eventually got the wickets of Bedingham (59) and De Zorzi (177), only for Mulder and Senuran Muthusamy to take control. 

  The duo put on an unbeaten partnership of 152 runs, after which South Africa declared their innings, with Mulder and Muthusamy ending on 105 and 68 respectively. 

  Bangladesh then made a poor start to their chase, losing Shadman Islam for a duck in the first over, with Zakir Hasan (two), Mahmudul Hasan Joy (10) and Hasan Mahmud (three) falling shortly after. 

  Mominul Haque (six) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (four) are the men tasked with starting Bangladesh's revival when play resumes on Thursday. 

  Data Debrief: The Three Musketeers

  Bangladesh last lost five matches in a row at home from October 2011 to November 2012, but look in serious danger of equalling that run after a rampant South Africa display.

  And while the first day belonged to De Zorzi and Stubbs, the second day was all about Mulder's century and his partnership with Muthusamy. 

  The pair added 152 runs for the unbroken seventh wicket, breaking South Africa's record for this wicket against Bangladesh from the previous Test in Dhaka, where Mulder and Kyle Verreynne had added 119.

  Mulder also became the third batter to score his maiden Test century in Chattogram, after De Zorzi and Stubbs. Only once before have three batters scored their maiden Test tons in the same innings - Gerry Gomez, Robert Christiani and Clyde Walcott for West Indies against India in Delhi in 1948.

• De Zorzi and Stubbs tons put South Africa in control

  Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi's maiden Test centuries put South Africa in control on the first day of the second Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram. 

  De Zorzi and Stubbs shared a 201 second-wicket stand to put the Proteas in a commanding position to seal a series sweep, ending the day 307-2. 

  After opting to bat first, the tourists got off to a fast start with a 69-run opening partnership between Aiden Markram and De Zorzi. 

  But Taijul Islam, who picked up eight wickets in the first Test, made the breakthrough in the 17th over when his delivery to Markram was chipped to mid-on and caught by Mominul Haque. 

  From there on, Stubbs joined De Zorzi and made light work of the hosts' bowling attack, putting together an impressive partnership that was eventually halted by Taijul. 

  Stubbs' knock came to an end on 106 runs from 198 deliveries, but David Bedingham (18) joined De Zorzi (141 not out) at the crease, with the pair hoping to hammer home the Proteas' advantage when play resumes on Wednesday. 

  Data Debrief: De Zorzi and Stubbs take over

  South Africa have won each of their last five men's Tests against Bangladesh, their longest such active streak against any nation, and they look well set to improve that great recent record.

  The Proteas are aiming to string three straight away Test wins together for the first time since a run of four such victories between March 1999 and March 2000.

  De Zorzi and Stubbs have put them in the driving seat to do just that, as they tallied up the third-highest second-wicket stand in a Test played in Asia.
