CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh (Reuters) - South Africa paceman Dale Steyn took three wickets for four runs to reduce Bangladesh in their second innings, to 54 for five at close of play on the third day of the second test on Sunday.

Bangladesh, replying to South Africa's record-studded score of 583 for seven declared, were dismissed for 259 and were asked to follow on just after tea.

Steyn removed Zunaed Siddique for a duck and Mohammad Ashraful (4) both the batsmen sending catches to wicketkeeper Mark Boucher. Shakib Al Hasan (2) was caught by Neil Mckenzie at forward short-leg.

Steyn, who took four wickets for 66 runs in the first Bangladesh innings, has bagged 14 wickets from the two tests. On Saturday he reached his 100 test wickets from only 20 tests.

Tamim Iqbal (9) was caught at mid-on by Steyn off a delivery from Robin Peterson in the second over of the innings. Peterson later removed Shahriar Nafees (31) caught at slip by Jacques Kallis.

QUICK EXIT

After tea Bangladesh had quickly lost the remaining three wickets of their first innings to South Africa fast bowler Makhaya Ntini who became his country's second highest test wicket-taker.
