Starc Sparks Bangladesh Collapse in Test

Fast bowler Mitchell Starc triggered Bangladesh's collapse with six wickets before Australia's batting woes continued on day one of the second Test in Mackay.

Second Test day one saw Mitchell Starc claim 6 for 12 as Bangladesh collapsed to just 64 before lunch. The Australian fast bowler's devastating spell put the hosts firmly in control despite Bangladesh's fightback efforts.

Australia's own batting troubles resurfaced after Bangladesh's Shoriful Islam, returning from injury, captured 6 for 35 off 11 overs in his best-ever Test figures. Australia finished the day at 165-8, leaving the match evenly poised as both teams struggled with the bat after Starc's morning heroics. mwafrika.life
