Bangladesh vs South Africa 2nd Test Day 1 Highlights: South Africa needed a whitewash and didn’t take much time to bowl out Bangladesh for 539. South Africa chose to bat first and won the toss. South Africa lost Aiden Markram at 33 after they managed a 69-run opening stand. Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs scored their first Test ton and accumulated a massive score of 201 runs. South Africa is at 307-2 with stumps. However, de Zorzi was not out at 141. Stubbs leaves on 106. Well, Bangladesh bowlers will certainly need to work hard. Anyway, not much help being taken from the surface in such conditions. But not as great bowling either, they do not seem too keen to make things possible to come out of those free scores that South African’s are scoring. With hosts unable to create pressures against Bangladesh, they haven given them freely to come to South Africa. They will need wickets in heaps on Day 2 or it will be tricky for them to get back into the game. See the hosts fight back? We will find out. Join us on Day 2 for the coverage. Till then, goodbye and take care! STUMPS IT IS THEN! Crackling day for South Africa! They are in an excellent position in this game. All thanks to two men, Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs. After a decent opening stand, Mariam fell but then came the marathon partnership. The two added over 200 and both scored tons. Stubbs fell shortly after getting to his ton but Tony is closing in on a 150. David Bedingham has began solidly and he’ll be looking to cash in on this surface. South Africa are on course for a big first innings score and that’s what they’ll be wanting to do. The light meter is out and the umpires now have decided the light is not good enough to continue.
