South Africa on top in the first day of the first test match against Bangladesh

Dean Elgar's hundred featured the first day of the Potchefstroom Test, even as Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim and South Africa opener Aiden Markram might be left considering their separate decisions. South Africa completed the day at 298 for 1, taking full favorable position of a pitch that offered little help to the Bangladesh bowlers, along these lines leaving the guests to think about whether they influenced the correct bring in picking to bowl to first.

Markram and Elgar started unobtrusively, neither one of the batsmans pursuing anything that was dangled outside the off stump. They just began to push more for singles, twos and limits in the second session, in which Markram achieved his fifty off 77 balls. Neither one of the batsmans appeared to be in a surge, with the exception of when they were in the nineties.

Elgar shot a six over long-on to surge to 98 and in the accompanying over, batting on 99, called Markram for a brisk single subsequent to pushing the ball to cover, bringing about the last's rejection. Markram's run-out brought some alleviation for Bangladesh a couple of minutes before the tea interim.

After the coffee break, Amla did what he specializes in: lessening the shot of mayhem for the home group. With Mushfiqur generally settling on a spread-out field, Amla slid through the riggings by discovering more holes.

Notwithstanding his choice, Mushfiqur would have needed more from his pace bowlers however the absence of help for them implied that offspinner Mehidy Hasan was brought into the assault in the 6th over. While Mehidy was precise with his lengths, his lines were not as predictable.

Mustafizur Rahman, in the interim, knocked down some pins well - potentially superior to Shafiul Islam and Taskin Ahmed, which was normal - however he didn't generally search for wickets. Shafiul knocked down some pins marginally better to one side gave Elgar yet wasn't as successful against Markram or Amla, while Taskin rocked the bowling alley a couple of good overs however needed tolerance on the lethargic pitch.

An indication of Bangladesh's protective believing was their six-over deferral in taking the new ball. That attitude could undoubtedly manage terms for whatever remains of the diversion on the off chance that they don't shed it. Taking wickets is the only way by which Bangladesh can comeback into this game. Otherwise South Africa can take the game away from the hands of  tigers.
