Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 10am local time (4am GMT)
Good morning from Dhaka for the start of the second test between
hosts Bangladesh and South South Africa
South Africa having won the first test convincingly should have no
proplem in extending their series lead
Bangladesh did however show glimses of resistance during the first
test and have to take their game to the next level
Javed Omar and Habibul Basher have shown their team mates that with
a bit of dedication they can make the task difficult for the
opposition
With a pitch that is expected to turn a lot and turn early South
Africa could well include Robin Petersen as the second spinner and
increase the batting strength
Charl Willoughby might be the one to sit out
Bangladesh might included Mohammad Rafique for Akram Khan
South Africa won the toss and have decided to bat

And with that wicket they go to Lunch with Bangladesh well on top
after a excellent bowling display on a slow low pitch
Well played Bangladesh
We will be back in 40 minutes
Match State: Lunch - Day 1
Welcome back to Dhaka where Bangladesh have put South Africa under
tremendous pressure
An excellent bowling performance on a slow low pitch, plus some
good captaincy moves from Khaled Mahmud, has the visitors
strugling at 51/3 at lunch
First Smith was suckered into a pull down the throat of square leg,
then Gibbs, lucky to get away with a gloved chance down the leg
side was frustrated into holding out at mid on
Dippenaar, after batting so well in the first test followed after a
shaky start and being crowded by players around the bat
If they can keep the lines and the pressure then South Africa are
not going to have the most enjoyable afternoon
Rudolph the only visitor who looks the part will be joined by
McKenzie for the 2nd session
25.6 Mohammad Rafique to McKenzie, no run, full, half forward, strokes
back at the bowler from the crease

Match State: Tea - Day 1
A good comeback for South AFrica with the two at the crease now
touching a 100 partnership
Thanks to Rudolph showing a lot more maturity than his 2 tests
matches, and Boucher playing straight on the slow and low pitch
We will be back in 20 mins
The last session of the first day is about to start, 32 overs to be
bowled and should be easily done in these wo hours
The game is well balanced with either side in a position to take an
advantage by the end of play.
A few more wickets and Bangladesh would have placed themselves in a
good position, while South Africa will look to consolidate with at
least a 250 score at the end of the day
Rudolph will be the prime target and could hold the key to either
side
The only factor that may be against Bangladesh is the fact that
they only have three recognised bowlers, plus the two or three
part timers
The ball will not last 80 overs, so a trying session for both teams
Mohammad Ashraful to start after tea
58.1 Mohammad Ashraful to Rudolph, one run, starts with a full toss that
is not put away, driving to extra cover
58.2 Mohammad Ashraful to Boucher, no run, well forward, all defensive,

test
A good performance by Bangladesh this afternoon, taking the last
wickets for 66 runs
A bit of a slip when they let Rudolph and Boucher off with a 107
run partnership but has shown evidence that Dave Whatmore will
have something to work with
Good performances from Rudolph, Boucher and Peterson helped the
visitors to pass the 300 run mark, while Mohammad Ashraful was the
pick of the first innings with his 6-fer

A good job done here by the ground staff getting this game ready
