Tigers fight back as SA lose 4 wickets in action-packed second session
Bangladesh were disciplined, with Mehidy holding one end up and their catching was outstanding.
Having been 174 ahead at lunch, South Africa would have wanted a dominating session, but they have come second-best in the action-packed second session, adding only 52 runs at less than 2 runs per over. They lost Elgar, Petersen, Bavuma and Verryenne in the bargain.

Keegan Pietersen soon followed the skipper thanks to a fine catch by Mahmudul Hasan Joy at short leg.
Bavuma was the next to go, and this time Yasir Ali who dropped a few catches in the match, took a one-handed screamer low to his left. The on-air comms - Neil McKenzie and Vernon Philander were gobsmacked by that take.
Kyle Verreynne was dismissed for 6, this time too a fine catch by Shadman Islam.
As such, South Africa are 226 runs ahead with 5 wickets in hand.
That's quite a handy lead on a pitch that is increasingly helping the tweakers, but the hosts need more runs and some time to bowl Bangladesh out in their second dig.
