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.

South Africa vs Bangladesh, 2nd Test, Day 2, Live Score Updates: Half-centuries from captain Dean Elgar, Temba Bavuma and Keegan Petersen had helped South Africa reach 278/5 at Stumps on Day 1 of the second Test against Bangladesh. Now, the hosts would hope for the overnight batters Kyle Verreynne and Wiaan Mulder to pile on the runs and make Bangladesh sweat it out in the middle. Taijul Islam was the pick of the bowlers on Day 1, with three wickets, while Khaled Ahmed claimed the other two scalps. The visitors had displayed glimpses of brilliance at the start of the first Test but fizzled out as hosts South Africa registered a thumping 220-run win in the opening Test. (LIVE SCORECARD)
