Powered by exceptional centuries from Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, and Wiaan Mulder, the Proteas declared their innings at 577/6. The second day featured standout batting from Mulder and a solid anchoring performance by Senuran Muthusamy. Bangladesh began their innings with five bonus runs due to a penalty on Muthusamy for running on the pitch, though this had little impact as Kagiso Rabada dismissed Shadman Islam after a confident DRS appeal from Tony de Zorzi and Kyle Verreynne.
On the fifth ball of the opening over, Rabada bowled a length delivery swinging down the leg side. Bangladesh’s opener attempted a flick but missed, and the ball sailed through to Proteas keeper Verreynne. Despite a loud appeal from Rabada and the short-leg fielder, umpire Joel Wilson denied the dismissal. However, Verreynne and de Zorzi were certain of an edge, urging Markram to go for the review. The replay revealed a clear spike as the ball passed the bat, leading Wilson to overturn his decision. Social media buzzed with praise for de Zorzi and Verreynne’s confident DRS call.

Have it on record from @MphoMoreki that that is the first time since 1949 (West Indies v India) that a team has three maiden tons in an innings.
Super stoked for TDZ, Stubbs and Mulder! #BANvSA— Waheed Vadi (@WaheedVadi) October 30, 2024
Brilliant!
10/1 off 1 over. Bowler has 1/1. No byes or legbyes. This is going to be a head scratching trivia question in a few years time. #BANvSA
