Bangladesh lost four wickets in their first seven overs in a hapless reply to South Africa's mammoth first innings of 575-6 at stumps Wednesday on day two of the second and final Test in Chattogram.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

SCORECARD<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

The hosts were 38-4 when bad light forced an early end to play, with Mominul Haque (six) and Najmul Hossain Shanto (four) resuming on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bangladesh trail by 537 runs after a commanding performance by the visitors that gifted maiden Test centuries to three batsmen including Tony de Zorzi, who was dismissed before lunch on 177.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We've found different ways of scoring in different conditions so I wouldn't say we've struggled," de Zorzi said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Once you're in, it's about your decision-making and your ability to stay focused and stay in your game plan. It's about identifying what's working on the wicket against certain bowlers."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kagiso Rabada struck in the first over after the change, cutting off Shadman Islam for a duck when the left-hander edged a delivery going down the leg side.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Zakir Hasan also edged to the wicketkeeper playing a Rabada length ball outside off, departing for two.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mahmudul Hasan Joy top-scored with 10 before falling to Dane Paterson while driving an outside-off delivery but managed only a thick edge to Aiden Markram at the second slip.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Hasan Mahmud came early as an intended nightwatchman but was fooled by sharp turn from Keshav Maharaj in the spinner's first over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

South Africa's total was their second-highest against Bangladesh behind 583-7 at the same venue in 2008.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Wiaan Mulder (105 not out) joined De Zorzi and Tristan Stubbs (106) to make his maiden hundred on a pitch offering little help to the bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Senuran Muthusamy was unbeaten at the declaration for 68 off 75 balls with five fours and two sixes, his Test best.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Ryan Rickelton was the only batsman to fall in the second session when he edged a Nahid Rana delivery shaping away from his body to the wicketkeeper, departing for 12.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam pegged back the visitors in the morning with three wickets in three overs, claiming his second five-wicket haul of the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"I think Taijul bowled brilliantly," home team spin coach Mushtaque Ahmed said. "He varied his pace. That's why he got wickets on a flat track."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Asked if the early wickets in Bangladesh's reply could be blamed on fatigue after a long fielding innings, Mushtaque avoided excuses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"That's not how a professional team should think. They should work hard as much as they can," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Taijul toppled David Bedingham's leg stump to end a 116-run stand for the third wicket with De Zorzi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bedingham departed after a brisk 59 off 78 balls that contained two fours and four sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

His wicket prompted a mini-collapse as De Zorzi swiped across the line and was trapped lbw by Taijul to leave South Africa 391-4.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In all, the opener smashed four sixes and 12 fours in his 269-ball knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

South Africa won the opening Test inside four days with fast bowler Rabada taking 6-46 in the second innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
