First test finished a few days ago.

South Africa won by 5 wickets. It wasn't the walkover I would have expected.

Bangladesh 192 and 182; South Africa 170 and 205/5

Low scoring game. I would have expected SA to have scored more than that.

2nd Test
SA won teh toss and batted.

0/405 after the first day.
GC Smith - 223
ND McKenzie - 169

That's what I expected during the first test.

 

[Rising]

great batting by smith and mckenzie to get south africa 405-0

 

[Rajah]

They made 415 for the first wicket, a new world record opening stand. The 2 openers were the only ones that made any runs. SA lost 7/160 odd with no other batsmen making over 40.
SA - 7/583 dec.

Bangladesh are 3/60 in reply, with a very long day or 2 ahead of them.
