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.

* 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.
