• 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.
