The left-arm spinner picked up a five-wicket haul to derail South Africa&#8217;s momentum and bring the hosts back into the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The morning session was a rollercoaster ride for Bangladesh. After a brief scare when David Bedingham survived a close LBW call, the South African opener, along with overnight centurion Tony de Zorzi, put the visitors in a strong position. The duo punished the Bangladesh bowlers, racing to a century stand and putting the hosts under immense pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Taijul Islam turned the tide with a stunning spell of spin bowling. He first dismissed Bedingham, who was looking dangerous, and then trapped de Zorzi lbw, ending a brilliant innings of 177. The left-arm spinner continued his dominance, dismissing Kyle Verreyne in his next over to leave South Africa reeling at 391\/5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Wiaan Mulder and Ryan Rickelton managed to steady the ship and take South Africa past the 400-run mark, Taijul&#8217;s five-wicket haul gave Bangladesh hope of a comeback. With the spinner in such destructive form, the hosts will be confident of restricting South Africa&#8217;s lead and setting up a thrilling finish to the Test match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Brief Scores: South Africa 413\/5 (Tony de Zorzi 177, Tristan Stubbs 106; Taijul Islam 5\/152) vs Bangladesh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Taijul Islam&#8217;s five-wicket haul was the highlight of the morning session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tony de Zorzi&#8217;s brilliant century put South Africa in a strong position.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bangladesh fought back strongly after a shaky start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The match is evenly poised heading into the lunch break.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangladesh fought back valiantly on the second morning of the second Test against South Africa, thanks to a sensational bowling performance by Taijul Islam.
