| 4dRecord-breaking Bangladesh condemned South Africa to a second Cricket World Cup defeat in four days, beating the lacklustre Proteas by 21 runs at The Oval.
Talismanic all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan became the fastest man to 250 wickets and 5,000 one-day international runs in his 199th match, with a vital one for 50 with the ball and 75 with the bat.
Bangladesh notched their highest-ever ODI score of 330 for six to add another World Cup scalp of South Africa to their famous win of 2007.

Jonty Rhodes, the former South Africa International regarded as one of the finest fielders the game has ever seen, saw the writing on the wall before the Proteas had even batted.

Quote of the day
Pakistan's bowling coach is aware that their batsmen, who were troubled by bouncers in their tournament opener against West Indies, are in for more of the short stuff when they take on England at Trent Bridge.
Stat attack
Bangladesh posting 330 for six was their highest ever total in one-day internationals, narrowly eclipsing the 329 for six they made against Pakistan in Dhaka in April 2015.
Sizzling shot
Faf Du Plessis' bruising back-foot six caught the eye as the Proteas captain notched a smart 62. Du Plessis stepped back from the wicket to open his body and bludgeon Mosaddek Hossain for a six over long off to bring up his half-century in style.

Du Plessis' hammer blow was also noteworthy for a stunning catch beyond the boundary from a photographer, who was momentarily the focus of proceedings. With only his right hand available, the camera man was able to effortlessly pluck the ball out of the air. Ben Stokes, eat your heart out.
Bowled over
Not content with a vital 75, Shakib Al Hasan turned up with the ball too. The all-rounder tied up Aiden Markram to clean bowl the Proteas opener for 45. Shakib's flighted ball also turned back into the right-hander, who ran out of answers when pinned back.
What's next?
June 3: England v Pakistan at Trent Bridge.
