Bangladesh Vs South Africa, 2nd Test: Toss
South Africa have won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh.
Aiden Markram speaking at the toss, "We are going to bat first. It's a good wicket, hopefully it turns at some stage. Need a big score. For us it's the top six. Our top six batters need to get big runs. Hopefully we pile up a lot of runs. It's exciting. Five days of Test cricket is a long way. We got a couple of changes."
BAN skipper Shanto, "Would have batted first as well. It doesn't matter, looks a pretty good wicket. The boys have done a great job in the practice sessions. Batting top of the order is very important. We need to make big runs for the team. We have three changes."
