Quick hits: Stunning Shoriful rivals Starc's staggering spell, Hazlewood fumes
Two lethal left arm quicks combine for 12 wickets, Australia comes close to snaring the rarest of dismissals, and a Harrup Park specialist fails on his return. Here are the quick hits from day one of the second Test.
Australia and Bangladesh clash in the second Test, with Shoriful Islam and Shoriful Islam leading the bowling charge. Mitch Starc, a formidable left-arm quick, takes five wickets in his first spell, the most in five-over spell history. Bangladesh's top order, including Dimuth Karunaratne, Rashid Khan, and Litton Das, falls victim to Starc's lethal spells.
Hazlewood and Taskin attempt to obstruct the field, but escape unpunished. Matt Renshaw returns to Test cricket at Harrup Park and edges into the slips. Shoriful Islam takes his first two Test wickets in quick succession, contributing significantly to Bangladesh's successful start in Mackay.
