It is hard to imagine a number one Test side like South Africa getting bowled out on 248 on the first day of a Test. It is even harder to imagine that the team that meted out this punishment, is in fact, ranked ninth. And you would just laugh if I said that on the eight occasions these two teams have met previously, the number one team (as expected) have handed them a thrashing - all eight times. But, what Bangladesh did to South Africa on July 21, 2015 - first day of the first Test in Chittagong is no laughing matter.

You can have a look at the scorecard here but that might not do justice to Mustafizur and Jubair's brilliance or the rashness with which the South Africans played. Read our day one blog to find out more, while we wait and watch to see whether the Tigers are able to match their terrific bowling display with an equally inspiring batting performance. Or maybe South Africa will prove why they are the top-ranked side in the longest format of the game. Who knows - Day 2 could turn out to be even more interesting...
