Paul Adams finished with five for 69

Left-arm spinner Paul Adams took 10 wickets in the match as South Africa wrapped up an emphatic victory in the first Test against Bangladesh.

Resuming on 185-5 overnight and trailing by 112 runs, Bangladesh were dismissed for 237 early on day four to give South Africa a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series.

Debutant Charl Willoughby began the slide with his first wicket in Test cricket, youngster Mohammed Ashraful (28) driving straight to mid-off after taking 10 runs from the over.

Adams then struck twice in quick succession - first Akram Khan (16) was caught by Boeta Dippenaar at fine-leg.

Mushrafe Mortaza was then well caught at slip by Shaun Pollock for a duck after he edged a delivery which turned sharply away from him.

Bangladesh were soon nine down when captain Graeme Smith picked up his first Test wicket, his opposite number Khaled Mahmud leaning forward to a gentle off-break and being stumped by Mark Boucher.

Adams wrapped up victory after an hour'splay when Enamul Haque (11) offered a routine return chance.

Adams finished with 5-69 to go with his first-innings 5-37.
