Sports Desk: The game was scheduled to start at 10 am local time (2 pm in Bangladesh). But due to the complexity of the site screen, the delay is half an hour. The ten o'clock game started at 10:34. But the toss was made half an hour before the start of the match. After winning the toss, Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque invited South Africa to bat.

The purpose is to clear the pace, humid weather in the morning and under the cloudy sky to give the pace bowlers some advantage. Domingo, the head coach of the Bangladesh team, thinks that the pace bowlers of his team did not get that advantage as the game started half an hour late in the Durban Test. "A break in the first half of an hour is not good for any team," he said angrily. There is a difference between starting the game at ten and a half. It did us no favors. We didn't even get off to a good start. We bowled an average in the first session. ' In the first session, the Bangladeshi bowlers could not put the Proteas in any danger. The hosts went to the lunch break with 95 without wickets.

However, Muminul's team took 3 wickets in the second session. In the third session he lost again. At the end of the day, South Africa collected 233 runs for 4 wickets. Domingo, however, thinks the first day has been a draw for both teams. "We didn't do well in the first session," he said. But after lunch he fought back. I think at the moment both teams are in equal position. They scored only 230 (actually 233) runs. If we can take two wickets tomorrow morning, we will be in a good position. ' Durban's wicket batting is helpful. Why did Bangladesh decide to bowl? Domingo said the Tigers were suffering from some uncertainty as there were more youngsters in the team's top order.

So did not want to take the risk. In his words, ‘I think we have some uncertainty about batting in foreign conditions. Many young players in the top order of the team. Joy, Sadman, Shantara are playing their first Test in this condition. We have to build the confidence to come forward on tough wickets. As a team, coaches and seniors are working together to make it happen. '
