  "account": "The 29th two-day Test between Australia and Bangladesh concluded swiftly, with Shoriful Islam delivering a stunning left-arm seamer that proved to be the ball of the series. Cam Green, Australia's key all-rounder, was first to feel the wrath of Shoriful, who had already troubled Australia's middle order earlier in the day. The left-arm seamer's pinpoint yorker swung in late, causing Green to fall over himself in a futile attempt to keep it out. The ball thudded into Green's toe, leading to an LBW decision after a brief consultation with the Decision Review System (DRS).\n\nShoriful's contribution extended to figures of 7-48, setting a new record for the best-ever return for a Bangladeshi bowler in away conditions. Combined with Mitchell Starc's 13-60, left-arm seamers claimed a total of 13 wickets for 60 runs in the match. Starc showcased his brilliance again, dismissing Shadman Islam and Mominul Haque in quick succession, finishing with 4-39 and second-best match figures of his career.\n\nAs the tailenders took their knocks, Taskin Ahmed was dismissed for just 7 runs by Steve Lyon, who also claimed the catch. Shoriful batted at No. 11, but despite a brisk start with 14 runs off 19 deliveries, he was eventually dismissed by Starc. Two wickets fell in just three balls, making this one of the shortest non-weather-affected Test sessions in history. In total, there have only been 29 two-day Tests in Test cricket history, with only five of them occurring in Australia.",
  "summary": "Mitchell Starc delivers once more but it's another left-arm seamer who delivers the ball of the series, as Test cricket is blessed with its 29th two-day match. Here are the quick hits from day two of the second Test between Australia and Bangladesh.",
