Published: 12:09 14 August 2026
Bangladesh is having a great time playing Tests in Australia after 23 years. After the first day, the Tigers have started well with the bat on the second day as well. Bangladesh has also dominated the Friday morning session.
Bangladesh went into the lunch break trailing by just 17 runs from Australia's first innings total. At the end of 51 overs at the break, Bangladesh's total was 182 for 2.
Nazmul Hossain Shanto is unbeaten on 28 runs. On the other hand, Tanjid Hasan is batting on 74 runs. The partnership of the two for the third wicket has brought 43 runs.
Bangladesh scored 85 runs for the loss of just 1 wicket in 27 overs in the Friday morning session. Australia got only Mominul Haque's wicket in this session.
Mominul was batting very well. However, his innings ended at 49 runs. He was caught behind the wicket while driving off Josh Hazlewood's ball. With Mominul's departure in the 95-ball innings, his second wicket partnership with Tanjid also broke.
Mominul and Tanjid's second wicket partnership was 102 runs. This pair put Bangladesh's innings in a strong position.
Earlier, Bangladesh bowled Australia out for 198 runs. Hasan Mahmud bowled brilliantly for Bangladesh. This pacer took 6 wickets for 55 runs in his career-best bowling. Taskin Ahmed and Ibadat Hossain took two wickets each.
After the excellent bowling of Bangladesh's pacers in the first innings against Australia, this time the batters have also put up a great resistance. As a result, the host Australia is under pressure in the match.
