The Story in Brief
Bangladesh began Day 2 of the first Test against Australia in Darwin with a dominant position, having bowled out the hosts cheaply on Day 1. By lunch, they had extended their lead to 88 runs, with Mushfiqur Rahim and Najmul Hossain Shanto adding a 50-run partnership.
Australia won the toss and chose to bat first but were rattled by Bangladesh's bowling attack, led by Taskin Ahmed and Ebadot Hossain. The match is being broadcast on Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar.
The Indian Opinion
Some Australian fans will grumble about a weak top order without Smith's genius. Fair enough after a first-innings collapse. But Bangladesh's quicks have bowled with discipline and venom. This is not a one-day slog. Watch how Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne handle the second innings. That will settle whether this is a blip or a genuine Bangladesh assault.
