Kyle Verreynne's brilliant century, along with Wiaan Mulder's fifty, helped South Africa to post a strong 308 in their first innings, giving them a commanding 101-run lead in the first Test. Bangladesh, who were bowled out for 106 earlier, struggled in their second innings, ending Day 2 at 101 for 3. Mahmudul Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim's unbeaten stand has given the hosts some hope, but South Africa remains in control of the match.

Verreynne and Mulder initially survived the Bangladesh bowlers, extending their partnership to 119 runs before Hasan Mahmud struck twice just before lunch to pull Bangladesh back. Mulder registered his maiden Test fifty but was dismissed soon after. Verreynne remained firm, completing his second Test century and forming a crucial 66-run ninth-wicket partnership with Dane Piedt. Verreynne's ton, combined with solid bowling from Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj, put South Africa in a dominant position despite Bangladesh's efforts.

Bangladesh's second innings began poorly, losing two quick wickets to Rabada. However, Najmul Shanto's aggressive stroke play and his 55-run partnership with Mahmudul gave some relief. Maharaj eventually removed Shanto, but Mushfiqur and Mahmudul held their ground till stumps. With seven wickets still in hand, Bangladesh has a challenging task ahead on Day 3.
