Proteas captain Dean Elgar scored his 21st Test half century in the first session of the first Test against Bangladesh at Kingsmead Stadium on Sunday.

Elgar, who was among the high scorers for SA during the first innings with a contribution of 67, scored his half ton from 73 balls in a well-taken knock that included six boundaries.

The Proteas will resume the second session of day four with Elgar on 62 off 92 and Petersen on 21 off 55; and SA on 105/1 after 33 overs and a lead of 174 runs. Elgar, who registered his second half-century of the match, was lucky to have survived through to lunch as he was dropped twice by Najmul Hossain Shanto and Yasir Ali.
