Australia v Bangladesh recap: Australia cruise to innings-and-51-run win over Bangladesh in Mackay

Cam Green added the first single to his overnight score by tucking the ball off his hip.

But if the vision captured by Channel Seven’s cameras of him in the nets this morning is anything to go by, he may look to open the shoulders soon.

AUS 8-166, lead by 102

The players are in position at Mackay’s Great Barrier Reef Arena and we’re ready to go.

Hasan Mahmud, who went wicketless yesterday after a man-of-the-match showing in Darwin, will take up the attack for Bangladesh.

AUS 8-165, lead by 101

WA’s Cam Green, who is all of a sudden his side’s most in-form batter, is at the crease on 51 not out, alongside Nathan Lyon (10 not out).

The pair will need to resist Bangladesh’s left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam, who bagged six wickets before stumps was called last night.

And welcome to our live coverage of the second day of the second Test between Australia and Bangladesh.

The first day of Test cricket to be played at Mackay’s Great Barrier Reef Arena was certainly memorable, with 18 wickets falling.

Australia will take a lead of at least 101 into their second innings after routing the tourists for 64, but Bangladesh fought back and again exposed the fragility in their batting line-up.
