Bangladesh v SA: Day 3 abandoned

Dhaka - Heavy rain washed out the third day's play in the second and final Test between Bangladesh and South Africa at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.

Match officials called off play at 3:05 pm (local time) as the rain continued.

Not a single ball was bowled on the second day after Bangladesh reached 246-8 in their first innings on the opening day.

The highlight of the second Test so far is South African pacer Dale Steyn's 3-30, which enabled him to become just the 13th cricketer in history to claim 400-plus Test wickets.

The first Test in Chittagong ended in a draw after rain washed out play on the last two days.

Yes! Siya will only be 36 at the next World Cup. He can make it!

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
