South Africa skipper Graeme Smith and Neil McKenzie set a world record for the opening wicket partnership on the second morning of the second and final test against Bangladesh on Saturday.

Smith was on 231 and McKenzie on 170 when they surpassed the record of 413 for the opening wicket set by Indian pairing Vinoo Mankad and Pankaj Roy against New Zealand in 1956.

Their partnership ended shortly after on 415 when Smith was bowled by Abdur Razzak for 232.
