When the challenge of saving the series is in front of the hosts, the South African cricket team makes good use of this opportunity. The Proteas crossed 300 on the first day of the second Test of the series which started today at the Zahoor Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong.

South Africa’s captain, Aiden Markram, won the toss and decided to bat in the second Test of the series. As the Bangladesh fielders missed catches on batting friendly wickets, Nazmul Hossain Shanta’s team was seen struggling with fielding injuries. The visitors finished the first day’s play on 307 for 2 at Sagarika. Tony DeGeorge now faces the challenge of turning his first Test century into a second. The left-handed Protea batsman is batting for 141 runs.

Bangladesh played the second test with three changes. Among them is Mahidul Islam, who was anointed in the Test. That picture failed to hold today. As a result, South Africa did not lose the team’s first wicket for 25 runs in 6.1 overs. Hasan Mahmud was the bowler. Georgie runs at his own pace with 6 personal runs for life.

Taking advantage of the loss of possession, South Africa continued to move forward smoothly. Markram and De Georgi added 69 runs in the opening pair. However, the experienced Taijul Islam did not allow his pair to grow. Taijul sent Markram back on the first ball of the 17th over. The Proteas captain returned for 33 with a catch to Muminul Haque standing at mid-on.

Tristan Stubbs came in to bat at number three. Stubbs continues to move smoothly with opener De Georgi. South Africa went into the lunch break at 109 for 1 in 28 overs. Both batsmen, Stubbs and De Georgi, saw fifties after lunch. De Giorgi got the second fifty of his Test career off 72 balls. Cover drives and square cuts make more runs. On the other hand, George has kept Bangladesh busy with flick shots. Despite playing a slugging, square-cut sweep, the Protea left-handed batsman kept the wheel running.

South Georgie had another round of life on 69 runs. On the fifth ball of the 41st over, the first slip missed the catch. South Africa could have lost the second wicket by 141 runs. Stubbs took the second fifty of his Test career by taking advantage of such a mistake by Bangladesh. The Protea batsman took 106 balls. On the other hand De Georgi got his maiden Test century off 147 balls. Georgi reached the three-figure mark by hitting Mehdi Hasan Miraj for four in the third ball of the 55th over.
