South Africa Declares 575-6 in Second Test

South Africa declared their first innings at a commanding 575-6, highlighted by Tony de Zorzi's 177 and Wiaan Mulder's unbeaten 105, before reducing Bangladesh to 38-4 on day two of their second Test. This match saw the rare occurrence of three players—De Zorzi, Mulder, and Tristan Stubbs—scoring their maiden Test centuries in the same innings, a feat achieved only once before in 1948. After stand-in captain Aiden Markram ended the innings, Kagiso Rabada quickly struck, dismissing two Bangladeshi batsmen for ducks. Bangladesh's batting woes continued as they struggled against South Africa's bowlers, with poor light halting play while they trailed by 537 runs. De Zorzi's aggressive batting was complemented by contributions from other players, including a quick 59 from Bedingham. Taijul Islam took five wickets for Bangladesh but faced heavy scoring from the South African side.
