Live: Green the key as Australia looks to extend lead on day two
Cam Green is looking to combine with Australia's lower order as day two begins in Mackay, after a frenetic 18-wicket opening day against Bangladesh. Follow live.
The second day of the Test match between Australia and Bangladesh commenced in Mackay, with Australia holding a solid 101-run lead after the first innings. The lower-order batsman, Cam Green, is eagerly anticipated to strengthen this advantage as he currently stands at 51 runs not out. Green was recently given the nod to take on the Bangladeshi lower order, with his performance providing a much-needed boost to Australia's batting lineup.
The cricketing scene in Mackay was characterized by intense action, with bowling spells from Mitch Starc and Nathan Lyon causing problems for the Bangladeshi batters. Starc and Lyon managed to take six wickets each, contributing significantly to Australia's strong position. Despite the frenetic opening day, there is still a possibility to witness a third day of play, contingent on the outcome of the second day and the resilience shown by Bangladesh's batsmen.
