Australia Test captain Pat Cummins has confirmed Matt Renshaw will open the batting in the second Test against Bangladesh.
Renshaw's inclusion at the expense of Jake Weatherald is the only change to the Australian side who were stunningly defeated in the first Test.

Australia have resisted the temptation to play four specialist fast bowlers against Bangladesh in the second Test in Mackay, as captain Pat Cummins confirmed Matt Renshaw would open the batting.
The recalled Renshaw is a straight swap for Jake Weatherald, who was dropped after six underwhelming Test matches.
The pitch at Great Barrier Reef Arena is expected to assist the pacemen, but off spinner Nathan Lyon, after taking 1-102 in the first innings of the nine-wicket loss by Australia in Darwin, will play his 143rd Test.
Winter cricket continues in the Top End, with Australia looking for a big response in the second Test against Bangladesh in Mackay.
Outstanding paceman Scott Boland did not play in Darwin and will now have to wait until the tour of South Africa in October for his next Test, after starring in last summer's Ashes.
Pitch curator Peter Kazakoff said the Mackay wicket would suit fast bowlers on both sides.
"That is what we are aiming for, a lot of pace," he said.
"We want the ball to come through really nicely. We have got the same sort of clay as the Gabba, so we are expecting similar sort of characteristics to that."
Australia confirmed their side, with Lyon in it, an hour after captain Cummins held a press conference where he said he was considering an all-out pace attack.
Kazakoff said there would be a role for Lyon and the Bangladesh spinners.
"I think the spinners will come into the game, going off previous first-class games here," he said.
