Kagiso Rabada took his second five-wicket haul of the Test as Bangladesh was all out for 172 in its second innings after following on.

Rabada finished with 5-30 in the innings and 10-63 for the match, going through the Bangladesh lineup twice and ensuring South Africa didn't miss injured strike bowler Morne Morkel.
