Bangla hit back
Dhaka, afp:

  Bangladesh bounced back into the reckoning after South African paceman Morne Morkel rocked the hosts with a five-wicket haul in the opening Test here on Friday.
After being bowled out for 192, Bangladesh struck through the pace-spin combine of Shahadat Hossain and Mohammad Rafique to reduce the visitors to 76 for four.
Hossain sent back openers Graeme Smith (10) and Neil Mckenzie (five) while Rafique claimed the wickets of Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis (17). The exploits of the Bangladesh bowlers followed the heroics of Morkel, who finished with 5-50.
