End of over 10, SA 35/0

9.4, SA 35/0 -  First signs of the serpent on this pitch. Ball zips after pitching and bounces sharply. Elgar does well to keep his bat away from that one as ball flies to the keeper. That was a deadly delivery from Mustafizur.

Mustafizur Rahman is back in the attack after one expreimental over from Soumya Sarkar. He finishes the over with a maiden. SA 30/0 after eight overs.

South Africa have started brilliantly in this second Test after being put into bat by Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim.  Both batsman look in good touch and although there is pace and bounce on this wicket, the batsmen out there do not look fussed.

The South Africa openers have punished the bad balls that have come their way. Mustafizur Rahman strayed down Elgar's pads and was dispatched to the bounday. Next over, Markram drives a full-toss through covers for four off Subashish Roy. These are the kind of deliveries the Bangladesh bowlers must minimize. Pressure is relieved with every boundary.

There is good carry on this wicket. Bowlers need to land their boucers in the right spot to troble the batsman. The extra bounce will surprise coming from something that has not landed on the middle of the pitch.

1.4, SA 4/0 - Subashish Roy to Markram. Markram drives but ball takes a inside edge. Bangladesh appeal for leg-before but not out says the umpire.

0.4, SA 4/0 - Mustafizur Rahman strays down the leg side and Dean Elgar punishes him accordingly. Ball races to the fine-leg boundary for four.
