Before Markram and Zorzi today, the last pair to put on a 50-plus opening partnership for South Africa in Asia was Dean Elgar and Stiaan van Zyl (58 & 61*) against the same opponent at the same venue in 2015

Taijul gets Markram

South africa 90/1 about the time for lunch

12:01 Local Time, 06:01 GMT, 11:31 IST: A productive session for South Africa as they have scored at a run rate of nearly 4 so far. Markram elected to bat first on a fine batting surface and the Proteas have managed to get off to an excellent start in this Test at Chattogram. The openers had a 69-run stand between them, however, Markram failed to convert his start and was dismissed by Taijul in the 18th over. Stubbs joined de Zorzi thereafter and the two top-order batters were watchful against the Bangladesh spinners. de Zorzi swept the ball well, while Stubbs used reverse sweep against the spinners. Looks like a really good batting surface and it's going to be hard work for the bowlers going forward. South Africa have a good chance to pile up some big runs given the start they have gotten off to. Can Bangladesh take some wickets in the upcoming sessions and pull things back? Join us back in 40 minutes to find out..

14:43 Local Time, 08:43 GMT, 14:13 IST: A wicketless session for Bangladesh as South Africa go along nicely. Apart from the odd ball beating the bat, it has been easy going for South Africa. de Zorzi used the sweep and his feet well as did Tristan Stubbs against the spinners. The former got to his maiden Test 100 just before tea. Bangladesh haven't created enough pressure as a bowling unit and that's why South Africa are in such a strong position. Back for the last session in 15 minutes...
