South Africa v Bangladesh 1st Test, Day 2
Bangladesh won the toss and sent South Africa in to bat on the first day of the first Test at Kingsmead in Durban on Thursday. The visitors were without opening batsman Tamim Iqbal because of what captain Mominul Haque described as "stomach problems". Mominul said he decided to bowl because there was grass on the pitch and Bangladesh had confidence in their fast bowlers. South African captain Dean Elgar said he would have chosen to bat. "In Test cricket, I prefer to have runs on the board and with the make-up of our team we have two spinners on a ground which is known to take spin as the Test progresses."

South Africa v Bangladesh 1st Test, Day 1
The Proteas head into somewhat uncharted territory as they take on Bangladesh in the first of two Test matches. South Africa will be without a number of their regular stars such as Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Rassie van der Dussen, who are all away at the IPL. Added to that, South Africa have a poor recent record at Thursday’s venue, Kingsmead, having lost six of their last eight Tests in Durban, going back to 2009/10. Their last win at this ground came back in 2012/13 against India. Bangladesh, meanwhile, have never won a Test match in South Africa, losing all six of their previous matches here. They will be buoyed by the fact that they won the ODI series though, in the process recording their first series win in that format in South Africa. With this being a two-match series, Test captain Dean Elgar said that it was important for them to buck the trend of starting slowly.
