All-rounder Wynn Mulder took three consecutive wickets to lead South Africa to the top of the table at St George’s Park in Gakbarah on Saturday, the second day of the second Test against Bangladesh.
In reply to South Africa’s first innings score of 453, Bangladesh scored 139 for five.
Bangladesh lost a wicket in the very first over of their reply when Mahmudul Hasan Duane, who scored the first Test century, was dismissed for zero off Olivier.
Tamim Iqbal and Najmul Hossain put on a 79-run partnership for the second wicket at nearly four runs per over, before the medium-paced Mulder came into the attack.
He dismissed Tamim (47), Najmul (33) and captain Mominul Haque (6) in almost similar fashion.
Bowling around the wicket, he struck the ball into three left-handed batsmen and trapped them leg before the wicket.
At one point, he took three wickets for five runs in five overs. He ended the day with three wickets for 15 runs.
Olivier came back into the attack and bowled Liton Das for 11.
Mushfiqur Rahim survived two South Africa reviews for the leg before wicket, but he batted close until he scored an unbeaten 30.
