Potchefstroom (South Africa), Sep 30 (Cricketnmore): South Africa opener Dean Elgar became part of a distinguished yet unfortunate group when he was dismissed just one run short of a double century the second day of the first cricket Test against Bangladesh at here on Friday.

Elgar was dismissed by Bangladesh left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman while on the personal score of 199 shortly after the start of the post lunch session.
