Australia vs Bangladesh 2nd TEST match scorecard: Mitchell Starc bowled brilliantly in the first innings, putting pressure on Bangladesh right from the start. He sent Shadman Islam back to the pavilion on the very first ball and then dismissed Tanzid Hasan Tamim for a duck on the first ball of his next over. Najmul Hossain Shanto became Starc's third victim on the very next delivery.
However, Starc could not complete a hat-trick. He then had Mominul Haque caught by Cameron Green; Mominul was dismissed after scoring nine runs. Subsequently, Litton Das became Starc's fifth victim, falling without opening his account. Bangladesh's batting performance was so poor that four batsmen failed even to get off the mark.
