Cricket-Bangladesh fight back puts them back into contest against South Africa


(Reuters) - Middle order batsman Mehidy Hasan Miraz led a Bangladesh fight back with an unbeaten 87 on the third day of the first test against South Africa on Wednesday to turn a precarious position into a tight contest.

Bangladesh were 283 for seven in their second innings when bad light brought play to a premature close at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, leading South Africa by 81 runs with three wickets in hand.
