KIMBERLEY, South Africa, - A draw seems likely with one day left of the cricket match between South African provincial team Griqualand West and Bangladesh at De Beers Oval here.

The third day ended with the home team 263-6 after 96 overs in their second innings - a lead of 254 runs over a nation that acquired Test status only a few months ago.

High-order batsman Grant Elliott inflicted most damage to Bangladeshi hopes of success Saturday, scoring 125 runs before being bowled by Mushfiqur Rahman. His century took 256 minutes off 209 balls.

The best support came from Willie Dry, who struck 41 before being caught by Javed Belim off the bowling of Enamul Hoque. Wendell Bossenger was unbeaten on 25 at stumps.

Bangladesh, who make their Test debut against neighbours India in Dhaka from November 10, were all out for 333 in their first innings to establish a nine-run advantage.

Akram Khan finished unbeaten on 129 after featuring in a 72-run last-wicket partnership with Hasibul Hossain, who had made 19 when trapped leg before by Craig Copeland.
