That's It! Stumps on day 2 and South Africa are significantly ahead in the game. They have posted a solid score on the board with three centuries from three batters, Wiaan Mulder being the latest. Proteas have also started blazing hot with the ball as they have dismissed four wickets of the hosts very cheaply. At this situation, South Africa will want to wrap up the Bangladesh innings soon and will not want to bat again in the match.
OUT! Keshav Maharaj has his first wicket and it has come through a good ball! The delivery turned square after pitching around the middle and leg stump and completely deceives the right-hander, hitting his stumps. The nightwatchman departs and now, Bangladesh's troubles have increased with so many runs still to get. Hasan Mahmud b Keshav Maharaj 3(7)
OUT! One more wicket falls for Bangladesh and they are in a heap of trouble now. Dane Paterson has struck this time as he draws the edge of Mahmudul Hasan Joy's bat with Aiden Markram taking the catch in the slip cordon. South Africa are on top completely and all of a sudden, batting is looking extremely tough here! Mahmudul Hasan Joy c Markram b Paterson 10(21)
OUT! One more wicket for South Africa and Kagiso Rabada! The Proteas are on fire here and this time, it is Zakir Hasan who gets a faint edge as the ball passed through to Kyle Verreynne. Bangladesh have been dented early and they will now need a massive fightback from here on. Zakir Hasan c Kyle Verreynne b Rabada 2(8)
OUT! After a rough start, Kagiso Rabada has struck and he has dismissed Shadman Islam for a duck! The credit for the dismissal should go to Kyle Verreynne who insisted that there was an edge and a DRS showed the same. Shadman Islam c Kyle Verreynne b Kagiso Rabada 0(6)
CENTURY for Wiaan Mulder! The all-rounder has struck his maiden Test hundred it has been a splendid knock altogether. With this, South Africa also have declared their innings at 577/6 and Bangladesh will have to counter the threat posed by the Proteas bowlers, and try to potentially stay undefeated towards the end of day's play.
South Africa have been hit with a penalty of five runs because of Senuran Muthusamy running down the pitch. Because of this, Bangladesh will start their first innings at 5/0.
FIFTY for Senuran Muthusamy! The left-hander has struck some beautiful shots and has scored an impressive fifty, at a good rate as well. He would now look to play some big shots and wait for his captain to declare probably.
It is tea on Day 2 and the South Africans have firmly established their grip on this contest. Wiaan Mulder and Senuran Muthusamy have stitched a 104-run partnership and South Africa's total has crossed 500. It remains to be seen when will they declare.
FIFTY for Wiaan Mulder! The all-rounder is doing exactly what he did in the Mirpur Test as he and Senuran Muthusamy guide the charge for Proteas in this contest.
