Mirpur (Bangladesh), August 1 (IANS) Heavy rain triggered by cyclone Komen washed away the third day’s play in the Bangladesh-South Africa Test match at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium here on Saturday.

25 – Five-wicket hauls for Steyn in Test cricket.
“It was evenly poised going into the final day [with South Africa 61 without loss and trailing by 17]”.
The 32-year-old tearaway fast bowler was second quickest to the milestone along with Hadlee, in terms of matches played – 80.
“I have never been a stats person”, added the 32-year-old.
“It’s enough to play and take wickets for South Africa and then I managed to get 400″. If we had batted well and gotten a lead of around 250 I think it would have been a tough challenge for Bangladesh to chase on the last day. Here are a few numbers on the 32-year-old bowler’s career.
South African pacer Dale Steyn, who has entered the coveted 400 wicket club, has said that he is not much into setting targets for himself to achieve, and just would have been happy to have even taken one global wicket.
