Steyn finishes Bangladesh

Steyn finishes Bangladesh

23/11/2008 6:15 AM

Dale Steyn claimed five wickets as South Africa closed out an innings and 129-run victory over Bangladesh in Bloemfontein.

After two-thirds of the third day were washed out, the hapless tourists resumed their second innings on 3-67 - a remaining deficit of 221.

Captain Mohammad Ashraful (13) was the first to fall on the fourth morning, edging Makhaya Ntini, who had moved round the wicket, to Neil McKenzie at gully.

Shakib Al Hasan followed in the next over, and without troubling the scorers, when he snicked a short ball from Steyn (5-63) behind to Mark Boucher.

Bangladesh was 5-81 at that stage, and they then lost another wicket on the same score as Mushfiqur Rahim, who had faced just two balls, was run out by Mehrab Hossain jnr as he attempted a quick single. Ashwell Prince collected in the covers and threw sweetly to Hashim Amla who took off the bails.

A seventh wicket fell with the score on 92 as Naeem Islam (3) nudged at a well-directed delivery from Steyn and edged behind.

Four overs later Steyn claimed a fourth victim, uprooting Mashrafe Mortaza's off stump.

That left the Tigers at 8-108, but Mehrab (43 not out) and Shahadat Hossain (16) then launched a mini-revival to take the score on to 9-152.

It was Steyn once more who ended that stand as he completed a ninth Test five-for by knocking over Shahadat's off stump after the batman's wild swing.

Mahbubul Alam was the last man to perish, for a duck, as he holed out to Prince off Jacques Kallis.
