Bangladesh spinner Taijul takes 5 wickets but South Africa stays in control of 2nd test

CHATTOGRAM: Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam claimed his second straight five-wicket total but South Africa reached 413-5 at lunch on Day 2 and was in control of the final cricket test on Wednesday.
Taijul, who ended the session with 5-152, triggered a collapse as South Africa lost three wickets for five runs to be reduced to 391-5 from 386-2.
Taijul took eight wickets in the first test that Bangladesh lost by seven wickets.
Wiaan Mulder (12) and Ryan Rickelton (11) resisted Taijul to keep the side in strong position before going to lunch.
Resuming at 307-2, Tony de Zorzi and David Bedingham extended Bangladesh’s misery by batting without any trouble as the pitch still appeared to be good to bat on.
De Zorzi converted his maiden century to 150 from 235 balls, smashing a tossed-up delivery of Taijul through mid-wicket for a four.
Bedingham, who raised his third 50 off 70 balls with a single of Mehidy Hasan, was dismissed on 59.
An over later, de Zorzi who was playing sweep shots to precision, missed the line to be trapped leg-before wicket. That ended his marathon 269-ball 177, which included 12 fours and four sixes.
Kyle Verreynne, the centurion of the first test, also missed a sweep shot to be trapped leg-before without scoring, handing Taijul his 14th five-wicket haul in test matches.
