South Africa vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Bangladesh tour of South Africa, 2017 - CommentaryRSA vs BAN, 2nd Test, Bangladesh tour of South Africa, 2017 - Commentary

Amit AGRAWAL: Incredible batting display from the Proteas. This is the kind of batting drills they must be looking forward to before Indians visit them. 450, i reckon for today.

Malik Haris: After a brief spell of good and attacking bowling.. this Bangladesh side has lost its venom again.

Khalid: What is the highest score on day 1? --- 588. England against India in 1936.

BHARGAV: @Pranit Dhasade, this mighty Indian team can score runs even on green pitches , why do you think they can't ?

Pranit Dhasade: I'd like to see more grass on pitches when the mighty India come here because on flat tracks like these, the quality of batsmen that both teams have, we can see the loads of runs scored and that would mean draws!

samarth: But still South Africa have the upper hand. Lot of batting still to come

Alok: Can anyone explain why Bangladesh chose to bowl first? --- I think that discussion has turned rancid, Alok. They've done well in the past few hours

Sandeep: Finally a sense of contest in this Test match!

Warshad Hasmukh: When was the last time two openers both scored double centuries in the same match and both on the first day. --- Has not happened so far!

vishwas: have you taken lunch, buddies? --- Umm, yes, thanks. Unlike at Bloemfontein, it was served on time

Kunal: Cricbuzz team - Your "Full Commentary" section doesnt show the user's comments. How can one come to know if their comments have been displayed? --- Use the 'Load more commentary' option at the bottom of the page that live-updates

Rakesh: Just curious, How is the pitch playing till now? Will the pitch remain as it is throughout the match? --- To be fair, the pitch has played well. Just enough grass for true bounce. Might quicken a touch with a hint of spin later

KD: Aiden Markram - To me this lad looks like a proper Test batsman. Not only he is pilling on the runs since his debut, he's also pilling up the misery for the opposition with this little stint of his. He may not be the most flamboyant kid on the block but, still, is a serious opening talent.

Saristh: Unless rain intervenes, I don't see anything but the inevitable.

Puran Kahan: Late lunch - strategy to have angry bowlers , Bangladesh need some angry people out there for sure

Hari: Likened to the legendary Graeme Smith for the style of play and mental toughness, Dean Elgar is finally coming of age. Earlier his knocks, even the centuries would be scratchy. Not this year though as more fluency has come to his game, perhaps due to confidence.

Kunal: I guess Bangladesh has done it without giving it much thought, which is clearly showing in their wayward bowling.

Lucky Singh: Ok so Bangladesh have taken a bad decision, if they had batted first and tided the first session carefully they would have been in a better position, but now it seems it's going to be one innings for South Africa and two short bitter ones for Bangladesh. --- A little too early to predict this.

Mohd: Second consecutive mistake for Bangladesh, if you are under pressure, always bat first.

Rahul: Slow over rate but still manages 50 in first hour. Dealing in boundaries.

A Ahmed: The team should remember it's a Test match - the patience and application matter. Some of the BD key players need to avoid 'own way of playing' technique and work hard in the middle according to the condition and merit of each ball to do well and earn respectability.

vasu: Why Morkel is not playing? --- He's out with a side strain

Hari: So many changes and we aren't even 10 overs old in what apparently is a Test match. Bangladesh seem to have given up before the game even started.

Ryan Sojib: Good players aren't always the good captain! Right? Answer is: "You can say that by observing the captaincy of Mushfiq!"

Ghouse Bagwan: "To show that Test matches can be completed in 4 days..."

Rahul: Mushfiqur playing like an ODI. Bowling change is never expected in Tests so early.

Farhad Shakil: Very poor from Bangladesh. Captaincy, management and application: everything's been poor so far. So much frustrating as a fan.

Ryan: I guess, Mushi is trying to prove that his earlier decision about fielding first was correct, that's why he elected to field again. In the process Bangladesh will be the losing side again!

Warshad Hasmukh: Why have Bangladesh opted to bowl, yet again, brain fade or what? --- The pitch is tinged with some green but that's it. Perhaps this and the 90 all-out hangover
