Two lethal left arm quicks combine for 12 wickets, Australia comes close to snaring the rarest of dismissals, and a Harrup Park specialist fails on his return to the team.
Here are the quick hits from day one of the second Test between Australia and Bangladesh.

Mitch Starc steaming in, an opening batter studiously preparing for a lengthy stay at the crease, only to succumb to the very first challenge.
Shadman Islam was the unfortunate batter on this occasion, looking to clip Starc into the leg side but misjudging the pace and sending a leading edge to Cameron Green at gully.
He is, incredibly, the fourth batter to fall to Starc with the very first ball of a Test match.
Sri Lankan opener Dimuth Karunaratne was his first such victim back in 2016.
England's Rory Burns was famously bowled around his legs at the Gabba in the 2021/22 Ashes series.
And then, in 2024 at Adelaide Oval, Yashavi Jaiswal was trapped LBW with a pink ball.

Mitch Starc would not be contained or limited with just one wicket in his first spell.
Incredibly, he took five, tearing through the Bangladesh top order like a cyclone of ill-intent.
Shadman Islam's wicket was the only one to fall in the first over.
But in his second, he took two in the first two balls, accounting for Tanzid and Shanto in consecutive balls.
