Australia’s Mitchell Starc takes five wickets to leave Bangladesh struggling at 35 for six at lunch on the opening day of the second Test. Bangladesh is put in to bat and quickly loses momentum, with the visitors’ top and middle order failing to build partnerships.
Both reports describe the same turning point during the morning session: Starc’s burst of wickets reduces Bangladesh from early trouble to a precarious position before play reaches the lunch break. ESPN Cricinfo adds that Starc’s spell is particularly rapid, highlighting the speed of his impact, while the Channel NewsAsia report focuses on the innings situation at lunch and the fact that Starc finishes with five wickets.
While the outlets differ mainly in emphasis—one on Starc’s pace and the other on Bangladesh’s score at lunch—they agree on the outcome of the session. Bangladesh remains under pressure as Australia’s bowling attack controls the game during the first part of day one.
