Live Cricket Score, Bangladesh vs Australia, 2nd Test Day 4: Cummins removes Sarkar

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry's live coverage of the Day Four of the Bangladesh-Australia 2nd Test at Chittagong.

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the Day Four of the Bangladesh-Australia 2nd Test at Chittagong. I am Paulami Chakraborty and I will be providing you with the live updates from the day’s play. Australia have managed to get an upper hand in the contest courtesy their top-order but on the rain-marred Day Three, Bangladesh had their moments as they managed to comeback in the game.

Australia are 377 for 9, and have managed a vital 72-run lead. It would not be easy for Bangladesh on a Day Four wicket in their second innings, so the key for them will be to restrict Australia under 400. Mustafizur Rahman and Mehedi Hasan were the most successful bowlers from the Bangladesh camp, bagging 3 wickets each. It was once again David Warner, who made the difference for the visitors, striking a composed 123. Steven Smith and Peter Handscomb chipped in with 58 and 82 respectively. The Australian middle-order failed to capitalise on the good start. Apart from Glenn Maxwell’s 38, there was little application with the bat from others. Matthew Wade continued his horrendous form, getting trapped leg before again for 8.

This is a must-win game for Australia, who are looking for a subcontinent triumph, something that has eluded them for 6 years now. Nathan Lyon, who claimed a 7-for with the ball will be expected to hang around for more time and make good contribution with the bat too.
