Elgar and Markram bring up unique double

10 - Number of batsmen who have been dismissed on 199 in Tests. Dean Elgar became the tenth and first from South Africa to enter the exclusive club. Andy Flower and Kumar Sangakkara, meanwhile, have remained not out on 199.

433 - Runs scored by South Africa's top three - Elgar 199, Markram 97 and Amla 137 - the second-highest total for any team in an innings with none of them going past 200. The highest in this case is India's 442 against Sri Lanka in Kanpur in 2009, when Gautam Gamhir scored 167, Virender Sehwag 131 and Rahul Dravid 144. For South Africa, it's the fifth-highest aggregate from the top three.

1 - Elgar and Aiden Markram are the first opening partners to be dismissed in the 190s and 90s in a Test innings. On the first day Markram was run out on 97, on debut, and his partner Elgar was out on 199 on the second day.

27 - Centuries for Hashim Amla in his Test career. He has drawn level with Graeme Smith. For South Africa, only Jacques Kallis has more Test hundreds, 45. Amla took the fewest innings among the three to score his 27th ton - 184. Kallis made it in his 186th innings while Smith got there in his 195th.

2013 - The last time a South Africa opener made a 150-plus score, Smith (234) against Pakistan in Dubai, the last of his 27 hundreds. There were ten centuries by their openers in between, including seven from Elgar.

2008 - The last time South Africa reached 400 in an innings for the loss of one or fewer wickets, which was also against Bangladesh in Chittagong. In that match Smith and Neil McKenzie added 415 runs for the first wicket. In this innings South Africa lost their second wicket only at 411.

1 - This is the first time Tamim Iqbal has not faced the first ball of Bangladesh's innings during his Test career. He spent around 49 minutes off the field during the second session, which meant he had to match that time off the field before he could come in to bat after South Africa declared. He had faced the first ball of Bangladesh's innings in each of his previous 98 Test innings.

179 - Runs conceded by Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the first innings - the most by a Bangladesh bowler in Tests away from home. His tally is also the second-most conceded by any bowler in South Africa behind Saqlain Mushtaq's 237 in Cape Town in 2002-03.
