BAN vs SA, 1st Test Day 2, Live Updates
We are back! The umpires make their way out to the middle and are followed by Bangladesh fielders who are spreading across the field. Kyle Verreynne and Dane Piedt are ready to resume their stay at the crease.
... DAY 2, SESSION 2 ...
Then came Hasan Mahmud, delivering a much-needed spark for the hosts. Using reverse swing to deadly effect, he shattered the partnership with a crucial breakthrough, dismissing Mulder. And as if that wasn’t enough, he followed it up with a great delivery on the very next ball, sending Keshav Maharaj’s stumps flying and reigniting Bangladesh's hopes. The sudden shift in momentum injected fresh energy into the hosts, lifting both spirits and intensity on the field. However, Kyle Verreynne stood firm, showing maturity. Partnering with Dane Piedt, he calmly navigated the remainder of the session, ensuring South Africa reached Lunch without further setbacks. With the game well set, we are in for another intriguing session coming up in about 40 minutes.
The way the game unfolded on the opening day, few would have predicted batters to thrive on this tricky surface. But Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder had other ideas. They stepped out with purpose and confidence, taking charge from the get-go this morning. With nimble footwork and a dazzling array of sweeps and reverse sweeps, they made the pitch look far less menacing than anyone had imagined. Bangladesh, meanwhile, struggled to find their rhythm with the ball. Defensive tactics, including scattered in-out fields, and a dropped catch from Mominul Haque only allowed the partnership to flourish, building pressure on the hosts. Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder capitalized on every opportunity, reaching well-crafted half-centuries and leaving the Bangladesh camp visibly deflated as body language began to falter.
SESSION SUMMARY - 30 Overs, 103 Runs and 2 Wickets! What a session we’ve witnessed! South Africa now lead by 137 runs and Kyle Verreynne is still out there at 77(105)! South Africa certainly dominated the proceedings on Day 2, applying pressure with proactive batting and steadily building a substantial lead. The scoreboard pressure is mounting on Bangladesh as the Proteas extend their advantage. However, just before Lunch, Bangladesh managed to pick up two quick wickets, offering a glimmer of hope and a chance to claw back into the game. Despite that brief setback, South Africa will head into Lunch mighty pleased with their efforts, firmly in control and looking to pile on more runs in the next session.
