Much like the first Test, South Arica dominated proceedings from the start in the second Test at Bloemfontein on Friday. Both the openers notched up their respective hundreds and forged a 200-run opening partnership. Openers Dean Elgar and Aiden Markram capitalized on the wayward bowling by the visitors.  However, in the second session, Bangladesh came back to pick up two more wickets. But after that, the experienced pair of Amla and du Plessis dominated the bowling and helped South Africa post a mammoth 428/3 at the end of first days play.  Earlier, the hosts registered a comprehensive 333-run win in the opening Test and would eye a similar performance.  (FULL SCORECARD)
