Nevertheless, he was cleaned up after missing a cut attempt, ending his innings, which had the potential to provide additional excitement in the second session.
After a few deliveries, Jaker Ali, who had just scored his first run in an international match, attempted to take risks against Maharaj but was out of the game. Taijul Islam and Nayeem Hasan scored some crucial runs to take Bangladesh's total above the 100-run mark even as the conclusion of the innings drew closer. Rabada and Maharaj then claimed their respective third wickets of the session.
With the ball, Hasan Mahmud got off to an excellent start, first clearing up the opener off the final ball of the over after defeating Aiden Markram with the first ball. Mahmud also had some early movement available to him, but Tristan Stubbs and Tony de Zorzi weathered the storm, the latter even managing to dominate when the bowlers veered off course. He swiftly gained control of the game by flicking Mahmud for a boundary and then reverse-sweeping Mehidy Hasan for four more.
The two hitters then started to pile up on Taijul Islam, taking advantage of his somewhat diminutive stature. But he got the final laugh when he managed to gain an outside edge to slip by Stubbs, who had been dropped at the short leg on 8.
