  "account": "On day one of the first Test match between South Africa and Bangladesh at the Wanderers, the tourists batted first and failed to make an early impact. Opening batter Mahfijul Islam, making his Test debut, was dismissed by fast bowler Kagiso Rabada on the very first delivery. The top-order quickly crumbled, leaving Bangladesh struggling at 22/3. Middle-order sensation Towhid Hridoy steadied the ship, scoring an impressive 137 runs off 227 balls. Hridoy's partnership with Litton Das (92 off 138) for the sixth wicket was crucial in keeping Bangladesh in contention. Despite Rabada's impressive all-round performance of 5/51, Bangladesh remained in control as the match continued into the second day.",
  "summary": "Towhid Hidroy hit 137 runs off 227 balls in an innings which lasted almost six hours to place his team in the driving seat.",
