South Africa vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 1, Highlights: Half-centuries from captain Dean Elgar, Temba Bavuma and Keegan Petersen saw South Africa reach 278/5 at Stumps on Day 1 of the second Test against Bangladesh. However, Bangladesh ensured none of the set batters could convert their scores as they finished the day in a decent position. Taijul Islam was the pick of the bowlers, with three wickets, while Khaled Ahmed claimed the other two scalps. The visitors displayed glimpses of brilliance at the start of the first Test but fizzled out as hosts South Africa registered a thumping 220-run win in the opening Test. Bangladesh made two changes to the final XI that played the first Test. Taijul Islam is in place of Taskin Ahmed and Tamim Iqbal comes in place of Shadman Islam. (SCORECARD)

... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...
Bangladesh can breathe a sigh of relief now! After toiling hard for 5 sessions they have finally managed to grab all ten wickets and wrap the innings up. Taijul Islam was the leader of the pack, he grabbed 6 wickets and was disciplined as well. Khaled Ahmed also bowled well and he was rewarded with 3 wickets for his bowling. The pitch is still assisting the batters and Bangladesh will want to go on till the end of the day without losing any wickets. Do join us for the final session of the day!
It's been a scintillating batting performance from South Africa! There were contributions from all the players. Dean Elgar and Sarel Erwee started off well, it was carried on by Keegan Petersen and Temba Bavuma and eventually finished by Keshav Maharaj. He played a fiery knock of 84 and guided them over 400 runs. But they have posted a huge total and they have plenty to bowl at now. South Africa will be hoping they can grab a couple of wickets in the final session and put Bangladesh under pressure early on.
OUT! LBW! Mehidy Hasan finally gets one wicket. An arm ball, sliding from round the wicket on middle. Williams gets low and looks to sweep but misses and gets hit near the front pad. An appeal and up goes the finger. Lizaad Williams takes a review for formality as that looked plumb. Ball Tracking shows wickets hitting and that will be the end of South Africa's inning. They are all out on 453. That will be Tea on Day 2!
