Live: Australia hunting quick wickets against brave Bangladesh

On day two of the first Test in Darwin, Australia is hunting quick wickets against a brave Bangladesh side. Live updates follow, with a focus on the latest statistics in the ScoreCentre. Radio coverage is also available. Mominul Haque continues his strong performance, playing well-negotiated shots and saving boundaries. Beau Webster takes the new ball, while Mitchell Starc returns but appears to be struggling with his usual energy and ideas.

The Bangladesh bowlers have been dominant, taking six wickets on day one to dismiss Australia for a lowly 198. Australia's batting performance has been disappointing, with Steve Smith's fighting half-century being their best contribution. The audience hopes Australia can turn their form around and perform better in the afternoon session.
