PERFORMER OF THE DAY
Before being heartbreakingly sent off one run shy of his maiden double hundred to become the first South African to be dismissed on 199, Dean Elgar did display his class.
The left-hander has been the backbone of the Proteas batting lineup of late and paired up to add fruitful partnerships with debutant Aiden Markram and Hashim Amla to post a considerable total on the board. The thirty-year-old smashed his ninth Test hundred as he gave no quarters to the Bangladeshi bowlers throughout his 388 ball 199 run knock, which featured 13 fours, before he was undone by a Mustafizur Rahman short delivery.
