That's all from us today. Until next time, good bye!

Dean Elgar bags the Man of the Series award whileRabada is the Man of the Match.

Four hundreds in an innings, a score close to 600, followed by two five-fers - all from the home side. Little surprise there that Bangladesh ended up on the losing side. There were no demons in the pitch, it was all down to application. Bangladesh batsmen showed none of it, in either of their innings - all after having seen four of their counterparts notch up hundreds for themselves with ease. Tells you a lot about the difference in the two bowling attacks as well. South Africa, after thoroughly dictating the terms throughout the series, take the trophy. Stay tuned while we get you updates from the presentation ceremony.

Rabada saves the match ball for himself, the others go for a stump each. Handshakes all around. Faf du Plessis is a happy man.

SERIES SWEEP:And there we go. Innings and 254-run victory for South Africa. This series has been a story of sheer dominance form the home side, especially this game - wrapped up in two and a half days.

10-WICKET HAUL:There it is.. second five-for of the game for Rabada. Third timethat Rabada has taken ten or more wicketsin a match.And here, he's put South Africa on the brink of an innings victory and a series sweep. Rubel Hossain is the man dismissed with a perfect yorker.. targeted right at the base of his mid-stump. Rubel is late in bringing his bat down and the edge crashes into the woodwork. Seventh five-wicket haul in Tests for Rabada. South Africa one wicket away now.

TWO TO GO:One more down, Bangladesh. Leg stumps takes a beating and Taijul goes back to the hut this time. Rabada is at it again. He's already had nine wickets in the game thus far. Can he get a second five-for? South Africa need two more.

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST: Fine catch from Faf du Plessis and a second wicket forPhehlukwayo. Good length ball, outside off, going away and Sabbir edges it to the slip cordon. Faf won't miss these. Sabbir takes the long walk back to the pavilion this time. South Africa only three steps away now.

South Africa are four wickets away from an innings win and series sweep. Bangladesh four runs away from crossing their first-innings score.

CENTURY FOR RABADA: 100th Test wicket for Rabada - he's the fourth fastest to get to the milestone.He's getting a hug from each of his team mates. Credit to Dean Elgar for a superb diving catch too. Short and wide outside off, Mahmudullah thought he;d guide that one to the third man fence but Elgar throws himself to the left and takes a stunner in gully. Mahmudullah's fight comes to an end on 43. Taijul Islam walks in.

WICKET: Phehlukwayo gets the inswinger spot on!Error in judgement from the batsman and the off stump takes a walk. Liton Das had left quite a few outside the off stump, but this one just came back in a tad and tricked him. Das left it alone but it uproots his off pole. He walks back to the hut disappointed after chipping in 18. Excellent stuff. Here comes Sabbir Rahman.

100 UP:Lovely four from the new batsman in the middle, Liton Das, and that brings up the 100 for Bangladesh in the second innings.
