Bangladesh will be disappointed. They could not have asked for a better track. du Plessis did not hold and was critical of the strip. If the groundsmen take a note and lay what the host skipper wants for the next match, the tour is only going to get tougher from here for Bangladesh. From a spectator's point of view, it was nice to see a five-day Test match. For as long as they don't end in draws, there should not be an issue with such wickets. We will take your leave on that note. Switch tabs to follow the last day's action between Pakistan and Sri Lanka from Abu Dhabi. Bye!
Dean Elgar - Player of the Match: No, not really (if bittersweet on missing double ton). I made quite a good contribution on what was a flattish wicket. Quite an incredible performance from the bowlers. I was trying to ease Markram's nerves on debut. They say fill your boots (on the flat pitch he got after the tough English wickets). I was just trying to cash in as much as I could. It's taken me quite a long time to stabilize myself in the opening spot.
du Plessis: Very happy. Over the four-five days, we were consistent. Bowlers were exceptional. Obviously, we were disappointed with the conditions. In these conditions, we were going to get wickets either through spin or reverse swing. But the guys did well. We are not complaining that it's an early finish. Morne will be disappointed. He has been bowling well. He has reached that level now. To lose another key member is very disappointing. But that gives other guys an opportunity. Hopefully, the wicket will be a bit better (for the next Test) with some grass. Happy with the debutant (Aiden Markram) as well.
Mushfiqur Rahim: Our bowlers let us down in the first innings. It was a flat track but we could have put the balls in the right areas. I cannot remember when was the last time we were bowled out under 100. Probably we will play good cricket in the next match. It could have been an opportunity but hopefully we will go good in the next matches. As professionals we need to be mentally tough.
There was a bit of rain predicted for later and with Morkel not expected to bowl, South Africa would have been a touch concerned at the start of play today. But Rabada led the attack from front and ran through the middle order. Maharaj teamed up well to provided the finishing touches. Presentations in a while...
11:24 Local Time, 09:24 GMT, 14:54 IST: Not even one and a half hours it took South Africa to wrap things up today. Bangladesh won't be pleased with this effort. 90 all-out on this track does not do justice to the amount of talent they have displayed of late. It's also the first time Bangladesh have been dismissed under 100 in the 4th innings of a Test match.
