End of over 25, SA 148/0, Amla 65, de Kock 81

End of over 20, SA 120/0

The Proteas are running away with these game. None of the Bangladesh bowlers have troubled the opners considerably to put pressure on them.

Tigers need a breakthrough badly as South Africa look to chase down the target as quickly as possible.

End of over 10, SA 61/0, Amla 30, de Kock 31 not out

Shakib Al Hasan has been introduced to the attack.

Amla procceds to drive the fouth ball of the over through the covers for a magnificent four. He then opens the face of the bat and plays it through third man for four. Three boundaries off that Taskin over.

8.2, SA 45/0 - Poor ball from Taskin and Amla waits before swivelling it. Man at short fine leg gets a hand to it but ball goes for four anyway.

End of over 5

47.1, Ban 253/5 - Nasir charges Rabada and smashes him through cover for four.

Phehlukwayo has been brought into the attack as Bangladesh batsmen will look to free their arms a lot more. Nasir Hossain is the new batsman at the crease. Phehlukwayo has bowled the slower ones effectively. No pace to work with in some of those deliveries.

45.3, Ban 239/5 - Mushfiqur runs a quick double and that's his 100. Brilliant innings. 10 fours and two sixes in his 109-ball 101.

End of over 20

The two batsman have looked to score quick runs but also settled in well and not give away their wickets. Shakib just completed his 500o runs in ODIs. If he can mark the landmark with a big innings that would be huge motivating factor for Bangladesh.

15.2, Ban 73/2 - Mushfiqur splits the field and ball races to the boundary beating the fielder wide of cover.

Mohammed Saifuddin is in the lineup for Bangladesh as Soumya Sarkar is dropped. Dane Peterson is also making his debut for South Africa.

Welcome to our live updates of the first ODI between Bangladesh and South Africa at Kimberley.

South Africa have the opportunity to become the top-ranked ODI team if they managed to sweep the series against the Tigers.

The Proteas will be bolstered by the return of AB de Villiers and JP Duminy into the side. Tigers have their backs on the wall having lost the two-Test series. Further bad news followed as ace quick Mustafizur Rahman will not feature in the first ODI. Mustafizur twisted his ankle during warm-up on Saturday.

However the biggest set back is that Tamim Iqbal is set to miss the first ODI as well. Tamim is yet to fully recover from the thigh muscle tear that he suistained in the three-day warm-up match in Benoni on September 21.

Tamim was seen walking around in a jacket before the toss while the rest of the team were warming up playing football.
