Tue Oct 29 16:26:54 UTC 2024: ## South Africa Dominate Day One of Second Test Against Bangladesh
**CHATTOGRAM** – South Africa has taken a commanding lead in the second Test against Bangladesh, ending Day 1 on a strong 307/2. Openers Tony de Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs stole the show, putting on a remarkable 201-run partnership for the second wicket.
De Zorzi, who remains unbeaten on 141, and Stubbs, who scored a century before being dismissed for 106, put together an impressive performance. They faced little resistance from the Bangladeshi bowlers, with Taijul Islam being the only bowler to claim a wicket.
The South African innings began with the loss of captain Aiden Markram for 69, caught by Mominul Haque off Taijul Islam’s bowling. However, de Zorzi and Stubbs quickly took control, building a formidable lead for South Africa.
This strong performance puts South Africa in a dominant position in the two-match series, which they currently lead 1-0 after winning the first Test in Dhaka. Bangladesh will need to significantly improve their bowling performance if they are to make a comeback in the series.
