Unfortunately, there's no feed to access the presentation interviews. So that's it from here. Not much to take back for Bangladesh I'm afraid. You can only be optimistic to a certain extent. We'll be back for the limited-overs leg. Until then, this is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Pradeep and our scorer Mukesh. Good bye!

After years of steady progress in Test cricket, Bangladesh have been given a very harsh reality check. Things have gone downhill pretty quickly for them on this tour, and dare I say, they're already down the hill. I doubt we'll be getting a word from Mushfiqur Rahim, who was taken to the hospital for precautionary scans. Not sure if he's back. Oh, I'm being informed that he came out to shake hands, so he's back. The presentations in a bit.

It was like there were two different games going out there - when South Africa were batting, and then when Bangladesh were batting. It tells you a story about the gulf between these two bowling attacks. While Bangladesh looked toothless, South Africa were menacing. Their bigger, taller fast bowlers brought the pitch to life and the visitors were never able to cope. Rabada helped himself to the third ten wicket-haul of his short career, also completing 100 Test wickets in the process. Duanne Olivier played an effective sidekick, and was a lot more effective especially today, in his extended 10-over spell.

14:15 Local Time, 12:15 GMT, 17:45 IST: Kagiso Rabada keeps the ball for himself. Elgar plucks a stump, du Plessis plucks a stump, and South Africa march off after registering their biggest Test win by innings. What a thoroughly convincing performance. They piled on a mountain of runs after being put in - with four different batsmen scoring centuries, and then blew Bangladesh away two times over.

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, out Bowled!! That's it. Full and straight, the need of the hour. Mustafizur swings hard, but the ball goes right through the gate to peg the leg-stump back. South Africa sweep series 2-0. Mustafizur b Phehlukwayo 7(15) [6s-1]

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

42.3

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, no run, pretty slow ball drifting in on leg, Mustafizur picks it and blocks

42.2

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, no run, difficult return catch dropped! Short of length, Mustafizur moves so far away that he toe-ends the heave straight back. It was travelling quickly to the right of Phehlukwayo who stuck his right hand out, but the ball didn't stick

42.2

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, no ball, almost turns a full circle in looking to slog the full toss away, only to find the ball dribbling on the pitch. All he did was under-edge it into the pads

42.1

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, no run, dances down and tries heaving it away, but toe-ends it towards mid-on

Olivier to Subashis Roy, no run, full at the stumps, blunted to mid-off

41.5

Olivier to Subashis Roy, no run, goes round the wicket and still keeps it short. Roy tries poking at it as it angles across him, but is beaten

41.4

Olivier to Subashis Roy, no run, back of a length around off, Roy crunches it on the back foot wide of point where Parnell makes a brilliant diving stop

41.3

Olivier to Subashis Roy, FOUR, Olivier was guilty of this in the first innings too. Bowling too short against tailenders who are moving away all the time. Roy has a big swish at it and sends a thick top-edge over the keeper

41.2

Olivier to Subashis Roy, no run, tries to do the same again, but doesn't middle it on this occasion. Chopped off a thick under-edge to point

41.1

Olivier to Subashis Roy, FOUR, short of length delivery, Roy moves away from the line and slashes it through point

Duanne Olivier [10.0-1-31-1] is back into the attack

40.6

Phehlukwayo to Mustafizur, no run, Phehlukwayo responds with a searing yorker which pops off Mustafizur's boot into the slips. Mustafizur's back foot was dangling for a bit, and Elgar sees the opportunity to throw down the stumps, but by that time, the foot was planted in
