David Warner dropped anchor as three half-centuries propelled Australia to 225 for 2 at stumps of Day Two of the second Test against Bangladesh. As a result, Australia trail Bangladesh by 80 runs with 8 wickets in hand after bundling them for 305 at Chittagong. They will look to consolidate and take a healthy lead on Day Three. The live cricket streaming of the match will be available on Hotstar, while the live telecast of the match will be available on Star Sports Select 1 and Star Sports Select 1 HD. In Bangladesh, the live streaming of the match is available on gazitv.com, while the live telecast is on Gazi TV. In Australia, the live streaming is available on foxsports.com, while the live telecast will be available on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 1 HD.
Nathan Lyon was the star with the ball for Australia, bagging 7 for 94 in the first innings. At 256 for 6 at stumps of Day One, Bangladesh lost the rest of their wickets early on Tuesday, with no exceptional contribution coming from the tail-enders. Ashton Agar got two wickets. Mushfiqur Rahim took a spectacular catch to get rid of Renshaw before lunch before Warner, Peter Handscomb and Steven Smith took visitors to safe shores.
Australia are trailing 0-1 in the two-match series, and will be eager to post a good score in the first innings to make amends. They have a lot to lose, because they will drop to 6th spot in ICC Test Rankings if they lose at Chittagong as well. On the other hand, Bangladesh are eying their third whitewash: they had earlier defeated West Indies (in 2009) and Zimbabwe (in 2014).
