Australia takes control early in the second Test against Bangladesh as Mitchell Starc and Shoriful Islam each claim six wickets on the opening day, with 18 wickets falling in total. The day features a fast start for Starc, who takes a wicket with the first ball of the match and continues to break through Bangladesh’s batting.
Shoriful Islam responds with an equally decisive spell, taking six wickets of his own and adding to the wicket tally. Both outlets describe the first day as dramatic, highlighting how quickly the match swings in favour of the bowlers. While the reports focus on the headline figures—Starc’s and Shoriful’s six-wicket hauls—they agree on the overall pattern of heavy wicket losses during the day, without citing contrasting details about specific scores or further match incidents.
