Bangladesh vs South Africa 2nd Test Day 2 Highlights: Bangladesh lost four wickets in their first seven overs in a hapless reply to South Africa's mammoth first innings of 575-6 at stumps Wednesday on day two of the second and final Test in Chattogram. The hosts were 38-4 when bad light forced an early end to play, with Mominul Haque (six) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (four) resuming on Thursday. Bangladesh trail by 537 runs after a commanding performance by the visitors that gifted maiden Test centuries to three batsmen including Tony de Zorzi, who was dismissed before lunch on 177.

So, South Africa quickly wrap things up after the break. Mominul Haque's wicket was crucial for them and Senuran Muthusamy got the big breakthrough before Keshav Maharaj got the final wicket. The highlight of Bangladesh's innings was the stand between Haque and Islam. Bangladesh were reeling at 48/8 before the duo joined hands and avoided Bangladesh a heavy first innings score. South Africa bossing at this point. Their bowlers are up to the mark. They have to do it again as South Africa have forced the follow on.
