Australia vs Bangladesh 1st Test Day 2 Live Score: Bangladesh will resume their first-innings reply on Day 2 of the first Test in Darwin with momentum firmly on their side after a superb opening day. Australia were bowled out for just 198, their lowest Test total against Bangladesh, before the visitors reached 96-1 at stumps, trailing by 102 runs.
Hasan Mahmud was the star of the day, claiming a career-best 6-55 as Bangladesh’s seamers dismantled Australia’s batting lineup. Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain also claimed two wickets each, while Steve Smith’s 71 was the lone major resistance.
Mominul Haque, unbeaten on 35, and Tanzid Hasan, on 32, will look to build on Bangladesh’s strong start and reduce the deficit quickly. Australia, meanwhile, will need early wickets to prevent the visitors from taking complete control. The hosts will hope and pray for some morning movement off the pitch.
