BAN 101/3 in 27.1 Overs (2nd Innings Trail by 101 Runs) at Stumps | Bangladesh vs South Africa Highlights of 1st Test 2024 Day 2: Hosts Continue Fight After Kyle Verreynne's Century Powers Proteas in Driving Seat

That's It!  Umpires take a reading at the light meter and this time the light is not good enough to continue. Stumps is called on Day 2. South Africa had a pretty good day as they secured a decent lead riding on Kyle Verreynne's century. Bangladesh had a tumbling start but they have weathered the early storm through Najmul Hossain Shanto. Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Mushfiqur Rahim. The latter two will have a big task in hand on Day 3. 

It has been a productive five overs for Bangladesh with Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudul Hasan Joy getting some quick runs as they have scored 22 runs in these five overs without struggling much. A chance went down from the hands of Keshav Maharaj, but the duo have settled on the crease and they will have to make it big here. 

Despite some close appeals, Mushfiqur Rahim has found his time at the crease and is looking to stitch a steady partnership with Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Bangladesh is currently aiming to get back in the game and give a good target to South Africa in a fourth innings pitch. For that, this partnership will be important. 

Out! South Africa gets the breakthrough as Keshav Maharaj picks up an important wicket close to end of the day 2. After some steady batting performance, Najmul Hossain Shanto was caught in front of the stumps. Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw Keshav Maharaj 23 (49)

Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudul Hasan Joy are fighting back for Bangladesh and looking to establish a partnership. After two quick wickets, South Africa are yet to find a break through.

OUT! Second wicket down and that too in quick succession. This looks bad for hosts as they are now two down. Wiaan Mulder takes an easy catch. Kagiso Rabada strikes again but this time with some extra bounce. Mominul Haque c Wiaan Mulder b Kagiso Rabada 0 (3)

OUT! Hosts are now one down. This early wicket will surely impact the rest of the match. Kagiso Rabada strikes and takes down Shadman Islam. Bangladesh is under pressure. Shadman Islam c Tony de Zorzi b Kagiso Rabada 1 (7)

We are back in action. The hosts will look to go for a big total. Proteas are here with the ball and will be bent on taking early wickets. It will be interesting to see how hosts will perform in the second innings.

OUT! Proteas are now all out. Kyle Verreynne fell prey to Mehidy Hasan Miraz as he was standing way outside the crease. Kyle Verreynne walks back to the dressing room by himself. Mehidy has his second wicket. Kyle Verreynne st Litton Das b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 114 (144)

OUT! And finally, Mehidy Hasan Miraz breaks Dane Piedt's resistance. Proteas are now nine down. Hosts just need a single wicket and they can come in to bat again. Dane Piedt lbw b Mehidy Hasan Miraz 32 (87)

Hundred! Kyle Verreynne displayed calm and composure throughout the innings and has now completed his century. He played a brilliant knock under pressure.

Lunch on Day 2! It is time for lunch. Hasan Mahmud broke a very essential partnership for Proteas after dismissing Wiaan Mulder. Kyle Verreynne is still on the crease for Proteas and is keeping things intact. It will be interesting to see the approach of the hosts after the lunch is over.

OUT! Hasan Mahmud is now on a hat-trick as he sends back Keshav Maharaj flying. It was a beautiful delivery by Mahmud as the ball came in sharply and was unplayable for Maharaj. The off stump goes flying. Keshav Maharaj b Hasan Mahmud 0 (1)

OUT! A crucial partnership has been broken as Wiaan Mulder is sent back to the dressing room by Hasan Mahmud. Mulder played the shot a bit late and hit the ball straight into the air. Shadman Islam catches the ball with ease. Wiaan Mulder c Shadman Islam b Hasan Mahmud 54 (112)

FIFTY! Wiaan Mulder smashes a boundary and has completed his half-century for South Africa. Alongside Kyle Verreynne, Wiaan Mulder brought up his fifty as well with calm and composure. 

FIFTY! Kyle Verreynne brings up his half-century under pressure. There is not a lot to talk about South Africa's top order but Verreynne stayed calm and is looking to move forward with the flow.

Both Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder will avoid giving their wickets away early. Bangladesh bowlers will look to find some early wickets if they want to gain advantage.
