  "account": "Today marked a frenetic day two in the Test match between Australia and Bangladesh in Mackay. Australia, leading by 101 runs after the first innings, faces a challenging situation after a collapse in the middle order. The bowling duo of Mitch Starc and Cam Green was the highlight of the day. Starc's 6-12 was instrumental in Bangladesh's dismissal for 64. Green, who scored 51 runs on day one, has been the key figure for Australia so far. His contributions in the middle overs have given his team a solid foundation. However, with the tail-enders struggling, Australia will need to build on this foundation to continue their winning streak.",
