Maharaj struck his runs off 95 balls with
nine fours and three sixes as South Africa added 175 runs to their overnight
278 for five.
Bangladesh left-arm spinner
Taijul Islam
took six for 135 — the tenth time he has taken five wickets or more in a Test
innings.
An early tea was taken when the last wicket
fell.
Maharaj raced to his fourth Test
half-century off 50 balls with four fours and three sixes and went on to make
his highest Test score.
He came in after
Kyle Verreynne was bowled
for 22 by Khaled Ahmed and almost immediately went on the attack, being severe
on fellow left-arm spinner Taijul, whose first ball of the day went for six.
Taijul conceded 27 runs in six overs before
switching ends and bowling
Wiaan Mulder for 33 to end an 81-run seventh wicket
partnership.
Taijul finally dismissed Maharaj when the
batsman tried one big shot too many and was bowled. The spinner also had Simon
Harmer smartly stumped for 29 by wicketkeeper Liton Das.
The first nine
South African batsmen made 20
runs or more but none went on to a century.
