Hosts South Africa look well placed to wrap up victory in the first Test against Bangladesh after enforcing the follow-on in Bloemfontein on today’s second day.
The Proteas declared on 441 for nine before dismissing Bangladesh for just 153 in less than three hours.
Resuming on 299 for one, South Africa soon lost centurions Graeme Smith for 157 and Hashim Amla for 112, before Ashwell Prince’s timely 59 helped push the score along.
Bangladesh offered little in reply and will start day three on 20 for one batting a second time, 268 runs adrift.
