Day 4 washed out

Day 4 of the 1st Test between Bangladesh and South Africa has been washed out at Chittagong Stadium.

A steady start from Stiaan and Elgar had helped the visitors trim Bangladesh's first-innings lead to 17 before bad light forced stumps on the third day.

There hasn't been much assistance for the bowlers and weather hasn't made their jobs any easier.

Bangladesh were ushered to their biggest first-innings lead (when batting second in a Test) by Shakib and Liton.

With the 1st Test evenly poised, cricket fans hope rain doesn’t have any further say in this match.

However, they have to keep their fingers crossed because there has been heavy rain in Chittagong since 3 am.
