/ Proteas all out for 308, Tigers trail by 202

Kyle Verreynne’s heroic knock came to an end on 114 as South Africa got bundled out for 308, securing a massive lead of 202 runs over Bangladesh in the second session on Day 2 of the first Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
Verreynne, who was unbeaten on 18 the previous day, formed a 119-run stand with Wiaan Mulder (54) for the seventh wicket and then a handy 66-run partnership with Dane Piedt (32) for the 10th wicket to extend South Africa’s lead beyond 200.
The right-hander departed as the final batter, getting stumped off Mehedi Hasan Miraz, who picked two wickets.
Taijul Islam, who had taken five wickets the previous day, could not add to his overnight tally while pacer Hasan Mahmud finished with three wickets, two of them he took today.
South Africa had resumed the day on 140-6, leading by 34 runs, and have thwarted Bangladesh’s hopes of keeping the lead to a minimum.
Bangladesh were bundled out for a mere 106 in their first innings after opting to bat first, They will now have to almost double that total against a tough opposition on a tricky pitch to take the match into the fourth innings.
 
 
Kyle Verreynne brought up his second Test century as South Africa are carrying on from where they left off in the first session and have already accumulated a lead of 187 in the second session on Day 2 of the first Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
Verreyenne reached the three-figure mark with a sweep, a shot he has applied very well throughout his innings, for a single against Taijul Islam as the Proteas are now 295-9 after 87 overs.
Dane Piedt gave Verreynne good company, making 32 in a 66-run partnership. The number 10 batter finally departed when Mehedi Hasan Miraz trapped him lbw.
Kagiso Rabada is now accompanying the centurion as the Proteas are nearing a 200-run lead.
 
Half-centuries from Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder have put South Africa firmly in command as the visitors lead Bangladesh by 137 runs at Lunch on Day 2 of the first Test at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
South Africa reached 243-8 at the break, with Verreynne not out on 77 and Dane Piedt keeping him company on six. 
The Tigers could claim only two wickets in the session, which were taken by pacer Hasan Mahmud in consecutive deliveries.
Resuming the day’s play on 140-6, with a lead of 34, Verreynne and Mulder squashed Bangladesh’s hopes of bowling out South Africa quickly as they batted deep into the session and put together a massive 119-run stand.
Hasan dismissed Mulder of 54 by edging him out to slip and then bowled out Keshav Maharaj for a first-ball duck in the very next delivery but that did little to change the complexion of the match.
With Verreynne still unbeaten, the Proteas would hope to extend their lead further and then test Bangladesh batters on a tricky surface.
Earlier on Day 1, Bangladesh were all out for a mere 106 after opting to bat first.
 
South Africa’s overnight batters Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder made Bangladesh wait deep into the morning session for the first breakthrough on Day 2, which finally came courtesy of Hasan Mahmud, who dismissed the latter and then uprooted the stumps of Keshav Maharaj in the very next ball to reduce the Proteas to 227-8 in their first innings of the first Test at the Sher-e-bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka today.
Both Verreynne and Mulder brought up half-centuries and put together a partnership worth 119 runs, after resuming the day’s play on 140-6 with a lead of 34. 
Bangladesh’s lone pacer Hasan ended their resistance by edging out Mulder for 54. Maharaj also departed without bothering the scorers. Hasan, however, could not complete his hat-trick as Dane Piedt carefully fended away the hat-trick ball.
Thanks to Verreyenne, who is batting on 67, and Mulder, the visitors are now in a position of strength, leading Bangladesh 121 runs on a pitch where batting looks really difficult.
