- BATSMENRB4s6sSR17.1 soft, soft dismissal! Darted in full on middle and off. Markram advances, perhaps wanting to go downtown. Gets too close to the ball, though, it seems, and he fails to get under it as much as he would have wanted. Chips it up and picks out mid on to absolute perfection. They are checking if it was a bump-ball but it most certainly wasn't. Right off the toe-end and Bangladesh have a breakthrough against the run of play! 69/173.4 keeps low, and Taijul goes through Stubbs! Shortish on middle and off, and Stubbs, looking at the length, stays leg side to play the back-foot punch. The ball skids through, though, and keeps a hint low. Scratches the toe-end and crashes into the stumps. Taijul has his second and Stubbs is absolutely livid with himself. Take nothing away from this knock and it has put South Africa in pole position to put up a big first-innings total! 270/2Extras9 (b 5, lb 1, nb 3)TOTAL307/2 (81 Overs, RR: 3.79)Fall of wickets: 1-69 (Aiden Markram, 17.1 ov), 2-270 (Tristan Stubbs, 73.4 ov)
