Bangladesh 39-3 at lunch, trail by 107 runs in second test v Australia Aug 23 : Bangladesh were 39 for three in their second innings at lunch on day two of the second test against Australia in Mackay on Sunday, trailing by 107 runs. • Australia paceman Mitchell Starc took two wickets in successive balls, having opener Shadman Islam caught for one before bowling Mominul Haque for a duck when the number three failed to play a shot. • Opener Tanzid Hasan was caught for nine by Starc at deep fine leg after a miscued pull shot off the bowling of captain and fast bowler Pat Cummins. • Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was 23 not out at the break, with number five batter Mushfiqur Rahim on four at Great Barrier Reef Arena. • Australia were bowled out before lunch for 210 after resuming on 165 for eight in the morning. That gave the hosts a 146-run lead after Bangladesh were skittled for 64 on day one. • Bangladesh's recalled fast bowler Shoriful Islam took a seventh wicket after dismissing Cameron Green lbw for 67 with an in-swinging yorker. Shoriful finished with 7-48, the best innings haul for a Bangladesh bowler in an away test. • Tailenders Nathan Lyon (32 not out) and Josh Hazlewood frustrated Bangladesh with a 24-run partnership for the 10th wicket before Hazlewood was caught for six by Shadman after top-edging an attempted slog-sweep off left-arm spinner Taijul Islam. • Bangladesh lead the two-match series 1-0 after thrashing Australia by nine wickets in Darwin.
