2nd Test: South Africa 278/5 on day one after Bangladesh's late strikes

Bangladesh's persistence was rewarded with two late wickets as South Africa went to stumps on 278 for 5 on the opening day of the second and final Test on Friday. Three South African batters made half-centuries after the home team chose to bat first at St. George's Park, but none of them went on to a big score and Bangladesh took something from the day by removing Ryan Rickelton (42) and Temba Bavuma (67) in the space of three overs just before the close.
