Bangladesh bowled out for 64 in first innings of second test v Australia

Australia's Mitchell Starc produced a devastating bowling performance to skittle Bangladesh for just 64 runs in their first innings on day one of the second test in Mackay, Queensland. Starc claimed six wickets for a mere 12 runs, achieving the sixth-fastest five-wicket haul in test cricket history by taking five wickets in just 22 balls. The left-arm quick began his onslaught by removing opener Shadman Islam with the first ball of the match, leaving the tourists in dire straits at 12 for five after just 6.4 overs. He later returned to dismiss Shoriful Islam for 14, completing Bangladesh's dismal innings. Captain Pat Cummins supported Starc effectively, taking three wickets for 25 runs after Australia won the toss and chose to bowl on a lively pitch. Bangladesh, who lead the series 1-0 after a dominant win in Darwin, made one change to their lineup, bringing in Shoriful Islam for Ebadot Hossain. This match marks Mackay's Great Barrier Reef Arena as Australia's 12th test venue, with Matt Renshaw set to open the batting for Australia in his first test in over three years.
