Here's S Rajesh with an amazing stat: The lowest totals after choosing to bat in the last 10 years - two of the top eight in the last week, and three of the top eight in 2024

1:28pm A top, top bowling effort by the visitors and they will be pleased with their day of work so far. Mulder set the ball rolling, soon to be followed up by the record-breaking Rabada. The spinners then got into the act, with Maharaj picking up three and Piedt bagging the wicket of the set Mahmudul.

Not a lot to write home about from a Bangladesh POV. Their highest partnership was that for the ninth wicket and that tells a story in itself. Mahmudul top-scored with 30 but only three others managed to get into double-digits, with none of them passing 20. They now have a mountain to climb, but will take some heart from the fact that the wicket is offering some assistance. Join us in about ten minutes for South Africa's reply.

Maharaj to Taijul Islam, OUT, through Taijul, and the leg bail is toppled! Flighted up nicely on a full length outside off. Seems to take a bit of the rough and spins back in devilishly. Taijul, looking for the cover drive, seems to get a tickle that ends up clipping leg stump. Bangladesh have been rolled over for 106, having won the toss and opted to bat first!

Taijul Islam b Maharaj 16 (35m 31b 2x4 0x6) SR: 51.61

Khan: "A nightmare week for Asian teams batting first against the visiting team. " -- Unless...you have been in the Pakistan camp, who scored 366 and set up their series-levelling victory against England.
