Mominul Haque and Mahmudullah hit half-centuries as Bangladesh avoided the follow-on against South Africa on the third day of the first Test at Senwes Park on Saturday.



Mominul made 77 - the highest Test score by a Bangladesh batsman against South Africa - and Mahmudullah hit 66 as Bangladesh reached 308 for eight at tea in reply to South Africa's first innings total of 496 for three declared.



On a slow pitch, Bangladesh had four successive half-century partnerships between the third and sixth wickets.



Although South Africa were poised to take a substantial first innings lead, Bangladesh batted with positive intent and ensured that they would end a sequence of innings defeats in all their four previous Tests in South Africa
