Live: Australia hunting quick wickets against brave Bangladesh
Australia looks for quick wickets against Bangladesh on day two of the first Test in Darwin. Follow live.
Day two of the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh began in Darwin with Australia looking to quickly dismiss their opponents. After stumps on day one, Nathan Lyon admitted that his team could have benefited from more runs, but he did not plan to criticize his batting teammates. Steve Smith labeled a Bangladesh bowler "a peanut" after he made an appeal, but he might have given similar labels to some of his batting colleagues considering their poor performance.
Hasan Mahmud took six wickets for Bangladesh, helping them dismiss Australia for 198 runs. Tanzania Hasan (32no) and Mominul Haque (35no) led Bangladesh to a score of 96 all out by stumps. Despite Steve Smith's half-century, Australia struggled in the sun-drenched conditions of Darwin. The story is being covered live by Henry Hanson and Simon Smale.
