South Africa bowled out for 367 in 1st innings

Fast bowler Syed Khaled Ahmed claimed his career-best 4-92 as South Africa bowled out for 367 in its first innings on day two of the first Test at Kingsmead Cricket Ground in Durban today.

Offspinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz grabbed 3-94 and another fast bowler Ebadot Hossain took 2-86 to complement Khaled's effort.

Temba Bavuma was the top-scorer with 93, in what was his 50th Test and captain Dean Elgar hit 67. Simon Harmer who led the lower-order resistance was not out on 38.

Resuming the day on 233-4, South Africa were quickly reduced to 245-6 when Khaled removed overnight unbeaten batter Kyle Verreynne (28) and Wiaan Mulder for a duck in consecutive deliveries.

Bavuma and Keshav Maharaj then resisted and added 53-run for the seventh wicket stand. Mehidy Hasan Miraz broke the partnership, taking out the prized scalp of Bavuma for 93. He hit a dozen of boundaries in the knock-in which he played 190 balls.

Ebadot further derailed the hosts, rattling the stump of Maharaj for 19. But the last two pairs of South Africa added 69 runs to frustrate Bangladesh. Harmer, playing his first Test after five years was key in those two partnerships.

He added that 34-run with debutant Lizaad Williams for the ninth wickets before combining for a 35-run with Duanne Olivier for the last wicket partnership.

Both Williams and Olivier scored identical 12 runs. Harmer four fours and one six off Miraz for his 78 ball-38 not out.
