Live Cricket Score of Bangladesh vs South Africa, 1st Test, Day 1 at Chittagong

South Africa captain Hashim Amla won the toss and decided to bat first. Stiaan van Zyl will be opening the batting alongside Dean Elgar for the tourists. Mustafizur will be making his debut for Bangladesh.

Teams:

After having a terrific run in ODIs, it is time for Bangladesh to prove themselves in the longer format of the game. They can take confidence from their wins in the limited overs format against South Africa, considered as one of the strongest teams among Test-playing nations. However, now that the visitors are playing their full side, the Tigers will have to come up with an exceptional performance to take on them.

P.S. Dale Steyn is back!
