Second Test 'out of reach' for Bangladesh, says batting coach Siddons
Bangladesh batting coach Jamie Siddons admitted on Saturday that the second Test against South Africa was "probably out of our reach" after a late-afternoon batting collapse. Siddons gave credit to the South Africans who "batted really well" in making 453 and said Bangladesh had a difficult task after slipping to 139 for five at the end of the second day. The collapse was caused by medium-paced all-rounder Wiaan Mulder, who took three wickets in quick succession.
