Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the second Test between Bangladesh and South Africa.

PREVIEW

After a crushing seven-wicket defeat in the opening Test in Dhaka, Bangladesh will look to level the series in the final fixture in Chattogram, beginning on Tuesday.

South Africa has won all previous 15 Tests against Bangladesh. A victory in Chattogram would help the Proteas, led by stand-in skipper Aiden Markram, move up in the World Test Championship table.

Bangladesh has played 24 Tests in Chattogram but won just two with seven draws, its highest number at any venue.

Toss

South Africa won the toss and chose to bat first.
