Bangladesh is aiming to follow up on its groundbreaking victory in the one-day international series last week, which was the first time it had won a series of any kind in South Africa.
The Proteas are without batsmen Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen, pace bowlers Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi and Marco Jansen, and allrounder Dwaine Pretorius.
There are many South African players who are not playing the series as they opted to play in the IPL instead of the two-test series against Bangladesh.
Only 76.5 overs had been bowled on the opening day when the umpires decided the light wasn't good enough to keep playing in Durban.
