South Africa vs Bangladesh, 1st Test, Day 1, Highlights: South Africa Post 233/4 At Stumps vs Bangladesh

We are back for Bangladesh's reply! The players have made their way out to the middle. Shadman Islam and Mahmudul Hasan Joy to open the batting for Bangladesh. Duanne Olivier will start proceedings with the ball. Here we go...

... Second innings ...

A solid score on the board for South Africa! After being put into bat first, South Africa started on a positive note, as they went wicketless in the first session of the Test match, although it was not all pretty since then. South Africa lost wickets at regular intervals. It was the stand between Bavuma and Kyle Verreynne that took them to safer shores and remained unscathed at Stumps on Day 1. The pair though found it difficult to face the second new ball from the seamers. Wickets came in at a quick rate. Nonetheless, the tails wagged for a while and took the total to 367 runs. Bangladesh made a strong comeback in this Test match but will be very disappointed with the time they took to take the final two wickets. Khaled Ahmed though was the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh with his four wickets, while Mehidy Hasan also made his presence felt by picking up three wickets and also showed great skills in the field throughout. Bangladesh will now hope that their opening stand gets them off to a solid start once they come out to bat after the resumption. Stay tuned to see how things pan out for the visitors!

Duanne Olivier has been adjudged LBW but this time he has sent it upstairs. This is a flatter ball, outside off and turning in sharply. Olivier stays back to defend but he misses and gets pinged on his pad. Bangladesh appeal and the umpire raises his finger after taking a lot of time. Olivier opts for a review straightaway. The Ball tracker rolls in and it suggests that the ball would have clipped the top of leg stump. It is umpire's call on wickets hitting and the on-field decision remains. South Africa are bowled out for 367.

Full, on off, defends it back to the bowler.

On off, blocked to cover.

Loopy ball, around off, it turns in. Duanne Olivier flicks it to square leg for a quick single. Does well to pick it up off his pads.

DRINKS! What an innings this has been by the tail-enders for South Africa. Bangladesh would've loved to wrap things up pretty early on but the bowlers are being made to toil hard for the final wicket here. The amount of runs Bangladesh have leaked in search of the last two wickets has certainly shifted the momentum towards South Africa. How long will the tail wag?
