Dean Elgar led the way for South Africa again with 59 not out to take his team to 107-1 at lunch on the first morning of the second test against Bangladesh on Friday.
The South Africa captain has now made a half century in all three of his innings this series.
Keegan Petersen was with Elgar on 24 not out.
Bangladesh's only breakthrough of the opening session came when Sarel Erwee (24) flashed an attempted drive at a wide delivery from Khaled Ahmed and edged to wicketkeeper Litton Das.
That was it for Bangladesh and South Africa scored runs at a good rate at St. George's Park in Gqeberha, the city formerly named Port Elizabeth.
