Bangladesh 60/6 in 26.1 overs | Bangladesh vs South Africa Live Score, 1st Test, Day 1: Bangladesh wins the toss, choose to bat against South Africa

Kagiso Rabada set the tone with a tight opening over and it wasn’t long before Wiaan Mulder made an immediate impact, dismissing Shadman Islam for a duck in his first over. Mulder continued to bowl with precision and was rewarded with two more important wickets, Mominul Haque and the valuable scalp of Najmul Hossain Shanto, which sent Bangladesh into turmoil. Rabada soon joined the group, removing the experienced Mushfiqur Rahim followed by Litton Das to pin the hosts further down and equal his feat of 300 wickets in Tests. Keshav Maharaj maintained a stranglehold from one end and relentlessly built pressure while the pacers wreaked havoc at the other end. Their persistence paid off just before lunch when Maharaj took a crucial wicket to leave the hosts reeling at 60/6!
