Shoriful Islam took 7-48, and Cameron Green hit a valuable 67 as Australia were dismissed for 210 in their first innings on day two of the second Test against Bangladesh on Sunday (August 23, 2026) to lead by 146.
Resuming at 165-8 in reply to the visitors’ 64 all out, the hosts added 45 more to the total, with all-rounder Green top-scoring. Steve Smith chipped in with 42 and Nathan Lyon was not out 32.
Fast-bowler Shoriful banked career-best figures and the best by a Bangladesh bowler in an away Test.
Bangladesh stunned the hosts to win the first Test in Darwin by nine wickets.
