Bangladesh has an edge towards the match but fpur wickets are down, wich is only success by South Africa till now, So test match is still open as it would be any body's match, Top test cricket team like Pakistan and Australia always depends upon 2nd innings performance to win the test matches especially after first innings problems but you must not come under the lead of more than one hundred runs, Both teams are not looking to take lead of above said one hundred easily, That is why Bangladesh is little bit favorite of the match that they can have lead of more than one hundred runs which South Adrica can never take in this test match, Good day for South Africans who got four premium wickets of top Four of Bangladesh batsman, they need to tackle lower middle order and the tail to get rid frist innings pressure, As we already mentioned in a blog post that South African Cricket team is under pressure which is shown in last two days as well and admitted by ne of South African player. Come on Bangladesh you can win it, not in very good position but have a chance to settle down and win it easily at the end, it is record breaking year for Tamim and company as they are doing some thing which is not done by any othe Bangladesh Cricket team in thier history.

Summary after day 2 Stumps,
South Africa batting frist 248/all out
Bangladesh 179/4 in 67 Overs
Today Bangladesh to start the the day with batting 179/4 while last recognized pair of batsmen are on creaze after them all rounders and tail enders are left, Bangladesh need to move further even with slow pace without any undue pressure, A partnership at this stage would be fatal for South Africa who is already under pressure and unable to deliver its 100% performance in this test match, a try by by Bangladedh batsmen to make it hurry would be dangerous for them, today is the match deciding day whether Bangladesh can win it or not, they should bat through out the day and should play frist session without loosing any wicket, pychological mark of 100 runs lead can make a magic for Bangal Tigers, impressive performance till now in this test match but winning a test match from South Africa would have great meanings in the world of Cricket and surely required a logical hardwork with strong planning, No doubt Bangladesh is in well position to win it but winning and coming in "position" and winning a test match are not same things, although indications but 2nd innings can always change the results and expectations, Bangladesh not to worry about the time but focus upon 100 run mark to get a lead of which means they are nearly 50% of thier score at this stage.
On the other hand South Africa Cricket team has all yhe chemistry to deal with the batsmen at creaze and afterwards, Need to ball wicket to wicket would be key here to not to let them score freely which.would be key to take a wickets or two which would cause Bangladesh to get themselves under pressure and might be got out before 248, South Africa has all the chsnces left till now but after today it would not be so easy to fight back and claim the match.
Hope for Bangladesh to win and Hope for South Africa to bounce back to make this match more interesting, next two sessions would important to survive for Bangladesh Cricket team to take themselves in to the leading position in this test match.

Match may not be evenly balance but still open and demands both teams to perform a match winning character to claim it, Now the game of nerves for both the teams.
Only the team can perform better who would keep its nerves, South Africa can bounce back strongly but Bangal tigers are in well form as a team here in this tour especially after winning the ODI series from the same opponents, What a match it turn out be at this stage.
