COMMENTARY

So that's it from us for this game. Australia came back strongly to level the 2-match Test series. They will have their heads high as they head to India for a 5-match ODI series and a 3-match T20I series which begins on 17th September. Bangladesh on the other hand would have hoped to win the series but a draw against Australia is quite a positive result as they prepare for the tour of South Africa. We look forward to your company in the future. Until then, goodbye and take care!
Nathan Lyon and David Warner have shared the Player of the Series award. As Lyon spoke earlier, David Warner now gets the chance to talk. He says he adopted the grafting approach from his former teammate, Chris Rogers. Informs that it took him around 15 Tests to figure out what works for him best. Says that he hadn't had much success in these conditions and there were some doubts in his mind. Ends by saying that it feels nice to play some good cricket and draw the series.
Man of the Match, Nathan Lyon says that it was a really good wicket to bowl on for spinners. Applauds his bowling group for keeping it really tight. Reckons that they haven't been successful in the subcontinent so they already knew it was going to be a tough challenge for them.
Steven Smith feels that his team played some great cricket in this match, they bowled really well in the first innings and Nathan Lyon was remarkable. Mentions that they could have taken a bigger lead but credits Bangladesh for restricting them. Feels that they need to rectify their batting woes. Adds that these are different conditions but believes that it will help them in future. Further adds that they have a stern test ahead in India and then Ashes. On David Warner, he says that he found good gaps. Hopes that youngsters like Handscomb will keep performing.
Mushfiqur Rahim starts by crediting the Australians for coming back strongly in this Test. Mentions that they failed to make the most of the conditions in the first innings which made things difficult for them. Adds that it was a good wicket to bat on. Reckons that there is always room for improvement regardless what the result is. Credits Nathan Lyon for bowling right lines and lengths. Applauds Shakib Al Hasan for playing brilliantly in the first Test. Ends by saying that they will look to do good against South Africa in the upcoming tour.
The hosts were way below par in their second innings too. Once again the top order collapsed and then there wasn't much fight shown. Chasing a paltry target, Australia did lose three wickets but were never in any kind of real danger. Peter Handscomb and Glenn Maxwell did the finishing job and the tourists achieved a comprehensive win.
Bangladesh won a vital toss but failed to capitalize. They lost their top half in no time and it required the century partnership between Rahim and Sabbir to get them to a respectable total on the board. In reply, David Warner scored one of his finest hundreds in Test cricket and his partnerships with Steven Smith and Peter Handscomb provided Australia a handy first innings lead.
Outstanding victory for Australia. They were under the pump after losing the first Test against a lower ranked team but bounced back superbly. Nathan Lyon was the chief architect of their win, claiming 13 wickets in the match as he completely ran amok. He set it up nicely for his team and then his teammates followed the good work with the bat.

COMMENTARY

End of over

BAN157 (71.2 Ovs)

Nathan Lyon was too hot to handle for Bangladesh. He finished with seven wickets and utilized the conditions quite well. Ashton Agar also picked up a couple while the other bowlers were decent. Let's see how Australia respond with the bat now. There are still a few overs left before lunch. Stay tuned...
Bangladesh have successfully managed to post a score in excess of 300! After opting to bat yesterday, they lost early wickets and were struggling at one stage. Nathan Lyon was the chief tormentor, claiming the top four batsmen, all via lbw. But after that, Mushfiqur Rahim constructed a century partnership along with Sabbir Rahman to bring the home side back on track. Nasir Hossain also played a vital knock towards the end which helped the Bangla Tigers achieve a good first innings total.
113.2
Nathan Lyon to Taijul Islam, out, OUT! Seven for Nathan Lyon. What a spell he has bowled! He finishes things off. Tosses it up on off, turns away from the batsman. Islam uses his feet and goes for a wild slog but gets an outside edge to Steven Smith who takes a sharp catch at first slip. BANGLADESH HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT FOR 305!
113.1

Nathan Lyon to Mehedi Hasan, out, 1 run, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Brilliant piece of work from Warner. A needless dismissal. Mehedi will not be happy with himself. Lyon bowls it slower through the air outside off, Hasan lunges forward and goes for a drive but gets it off the outer half through short third man. They complete a run and set off for the second. Warner hares after the ball from backward point, picks it up and scores a direct hit at the striker's end. The Australians appeal and the umpire goes upstairs. Replays show that Mehedi was well short of his crease. Not sure if there was a second there. The replays show that Hasan was looking back as he was running the second, concerned about his partner. And he might have made it in, if he was not that cautious about his teammate.
A direct hit! Well they are always close. The umpires have gone upstairs for a run out appeal at the striker's end.

PITCH REPORT - Ed Rainsford says the pitch is quite dusty. He reckons days two and three are going to be the best day for batting. He opines it is not going to be easy to score.
Switching back to cricket! The hosts after suffering early blows yesterday, bounced back courtesy the partnership between Rahman and Rahim. They find themselves in a good position, although they still will hope to get past the 300-run mark to gain the psychological advantage. The visitors on the other hand, will try and bundle their opposition out as quickly as possible. A lot will depend on Nathan Lyon as he was their best bowler yesterday. We are in for an exciting day of cricket. Stay tuned.
Let's start the day with not-so-good-news. On the route back to the hotel last night a window on the Australian team bus was broken. No one was injured in the incident. The Bangladeshi authorities are taking it seriously and are investigating the cause. The security has been boosted since then.
Day 2, first session...
Nathan Lyon was the hero for the visitors. He started off the day superbly and then came back to break the vital century stand as well. With that, he completed his fifer as well. Ashton Agar was the only one to pick another. Pat Cummins looked threatening early on but then lost his steam as the day progressed. Steve O'Keefe and Hilton Cartwright were very ordinary today. The Kangaroos will now look to come afresh tomorrow and bowl out the home side in a hurry. The hosts on the other hand will want the current pair to keeping piling up runs. Join us tomorrow at 1000 local (0400 GMT) for all the action of Day 2!
Bangladesh will be happier of the two sides heading into the dressing room. The aggression of Sabbir Rahman mixed with the caution of Mushfiqur Rahim, has helped the hosts to get the momentum. Both went on to score their respective fifties and stitched a 105-run stand for the 6th wicket. Rahman then lost his balance and wicket as well. However, his wicket didn't do much damage as the skipper found an able partner in Nasir Hossain. Both these batsmen then scored boundaries at regular intervals and are amidst a healthy partnership.

Nathan Lyon to Sabbir Rahman, out, OUT! That's the verdict from upstairs! Another fifer for Nathan Lyon! Short and spinning down leg, Rahman goes for the pull but in the process loses his balance. Wade collects the ball and seeing Sabbir's leg up in the air, takes the bails off. He is confident and starts celebrating. The umpire refers it upstairs. It's a tough one for the third umpire as one angle shows the boot to be on the line while the other shows some part of the boot to be inside. It's very confusing and after looking at it for a long time, the TV umpire gives the benefit of doubt to the fielding side. Sabbir Rahman has to depart after a superb counter-attacking knock. That's the end of the 105-run stand as well. A much-needed breakthrough for the Aussies.

Day 1, Session 3!
The home side will hope that Rahim bats well with the lower middle order as any total in excess of 300 should be a good one on this wicket. They though need to mind their shots since there have been quite a few soft dismissals. Let's see how they bat in the final session of play. Join us in a while for it.
A fighting session of Test cricket! Bangladesh stitched in a good stand with Shakib and Rahim before Agar struck to send back the southpaw. Australia would have hoped for a collapse but the pair of Rahim and Rahman has ensured there wasn't any and built a small little stand. The bowling has been good but there is little spin on offer. The tourists will want to take wickets at regular intervals to keep the Tigers in check.

Welcome back, folks! The men concerned are making their way out in the centre. Shakib Al Hasan has joined Mominul Haque. Nathan Lyon to complete his over. Here we go...
Day 1, second session...
Bangladesh were in a similar situation in the first Test match as well and the experience of Tamim and Shakib bailed them out. This time they will be relying on their middle order to do the job. Can they stand up and deliver? It's not going to be easy against Lyon and Co. Promises to be an exciting afternoon session. Do join us in a short while.
Terrific session for Australia after losing the toss! All the three top order batsmen for Bangladesh were trapped in front by Nathan Lyon who bowled splendidly with the new cherry. Pat Cummins also breathed fire in his two spells but wasn't successful in picking any wicket (Tamim was dropped by Maxwell off his bowling). The other two spin bowlers, O'Keefe and Agar also supported well and were at the batsmen every ball. The pitch has not offered too much turn but the lines from the Australian spinners have been immaculate.
29.4
Nathan Lyon to Soumya Sarkar, out, OUT! LBW! Lyon strikes at the stroke of lunch! He is pumped up and the Australians will be the happier of the two teams going into the break. Not exactly the slider, but it was delivered at a good pace, around 95.6 kph. It landed around middle and leg and Sarkar played forward for the turn. However, the ball went past his inside edge, clipped the front pad and then hit his back pad. The Aussies appealed and up went Nigel Llong's finger. Sarkar and Mominul contemplated a lot with but eventually decided against the review. The former wanted a second opinion but Mominul was defiant and sent him on his way. Hawk Eye shows the ball to be skidding on and clipping the leg stump. Had the review been taken by Sarkar, he would have still been out because the umpire's call would have stayed. That will be LUNCH ON DAY 1!

28.4
Ashton Agar to Mominul Haque, no run, HOW CLOSE WAS THAT? Very, very close. Mominul has to thank his stars. A wicket almost at the stroke of lunch. Landed around off, Mominul went back to flick it to the leg side but the ball came on slowly, took the inside edge and went right between his legs. However, it then dropped down and rolled back perilously towards the leg stump. Mominul had no idea and looked to kick it away years later while Wade was watching the cherry, hoping that it will hit the timber. It just rolled past the leg stump.
28.3
Ashton Agar to Mominul Haque, no run, Around middle and leg, flicked towards backward square leg.

Steve O'Keefe to Mominul Haque, FOUR, FOUR! Again it's uppish but away from the reach of the fielder. Mominul is living dangerously.

Nathan Lyon to Imrul Kayes, out, OUT! A successful review by Australia. Lyon serves a full flighted ball on off, skidding into the batsman, Kayes tries to sweep across the line but misses and is rapped on the pads. They appeal vociferously but the umpire shows no interest. Nathan Lyon thought maybe there were two noises but Matthew Wade convinces Steven Smith to take the referral.

Nathan Lyon to Tamim Iqbal, out, OUT! Tamim trapped in front of the wickets! That dropped catch has not cost Australia much. Lyon dishes out a slider around off, skidding through the surface and thudding Tamim on the pads who was late in bringing his bat down. In fact, the replays show that his bat got a bit stuck behind the pads which prevented him from getting to the ball. It has hit him very adjacent to the wickets, they appeal and the finger goes up almost immediately. A very good breakthrough for the tourists.
8.6

It's time to get underway! The Australian team is taking the field. Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar are expected openers for Bangladesh. Pat Cummins, the only speedster, in the Aussies line-up will begin proceedings (I know Hilton Cartwright also bowls seam up, but he ain't a speedster). Three slips in place. Here we go...
Pitch report - The deck is a lot lighter in colour than it was in Dhaka. Won't crumble much like the last match. Once you get in, start making as many runs as possible, as it will deteoriate with time..
Toss - Up goes the coin. Steven Smith once again calls it incorrectly and Mushfiqur Rahim has no hesitation in saying - BANGLADESH WILL BAT! They have made a single change, strengthening their batting by bringing in Mominul Haque in place of Shafiul Islam. Australia have a couple of changes. Usman Khawaja and Josh Hazlewood make way for Hilton Cartwright and Steve O'Keefe.
A golden opportunity of a Test series win over Australia will keep the home side going. At this point of time, they are looking a better-balanced team than the Kangaroos. The tourists although are certain to make some changes, given the injury to Josh Hazlewood and ordinary form of Matthew Wade and Usman Khawaja. Stay with us for all the updates...
Yet another spin test awaits the Aussies! After surrendering rather meekly towards the end of the first Test match, the visitors will be hurt. They had the chase going well till the time Warner and Smith were in the middle but as soon as they left, Australia crumbled like cookies. Many felt it was an upset victory but if you have followed Bangladesh's rise in the past one year, you will know it was well-planned and well-deserved.
Forecast for the second Test match in Chittagong is not promising for all five days but here we are starting on a bright note. The SUN IS OUT in its full glory and as of now, there will be no delay. On that positive update, let me welcome you all to the coverage.

End of over

BAN157 (71.2 Ovs)

Bangladesh's bowling wasn't at its best early in the Australian innings. However, they managed to improve their performance yesterday. Mustafizur Rahman finished with a 4-fer and was the most successful bowler as the Bangla spinners struggled for consistency. Now, the hosts will have to bat really well to first erase the deficit and then build on a lead. Stay tuned, they will be out soon.
Australia will be pleased with their batting but at the same time will know that they could have done even better. David Warner, Steven Smith and Peter Handscomb played exceedingly well to set the tempo but the lower middle order didn't contribute much. The likes of Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Wade went into a shell when they should have dominated after tea yesterday and that probably has cost them a few runs.
So, it took Bangladesh 11 balls today to pick the last wicket as Australia failed to add even a single run to their overnight lead. Anyway, the lead which the tourists have gained is still a handy one with the pitch deteriorating every minute.
119.5
Mustafizur Rahman to Nathan Lyon, out, OUT! That's done and dusted! Length delivery outside off, Nathan Lyon again fancies a drive. Fails to middle it and ends up getting an outside edge.

Ed Rainsford doing the pitch report reckons that the rough is going to play a big part today and with the sun beating down, it would be really difficult for the batsmen. Mentions that Nathan Lyon will be the man to look out for as it will turn sharply from the rough area.
Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage for the fourth day of the 2nd Test between Bangladesh and Australia. The visitors have batted decently and now they will want their last pair to pile up as many runs as possible. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will look to start batting as soon as possible, as they are already 72 runs behind in the game. With rain clouds still looming, we hope that we get a full day of cricket. It's bright and sunny as of now. The first ball isn't faraway.
... Day 4, Session 1 ...
The last pair of Steve O'Keefe and Nathan Lyon is out in the middle and the visitors will be content with whatever these two add tomorrow. The hosts on the other hand have to get the final wicket first and then get over the deficit to set a target for the Aussies. We have an early start on day 4 to make up for the lost overs today. The action begins at 0930 local (0330 GMT). See you then! Take care! Cheers!
Bangladesh's bowlers were much better in the last session. Mustafizur Rahman mixed up lines and lengths nicely while Mehedi Hasan got rewards for his probing lines. Their fielding though was very ordinary. They would be ruing their lost chances as Australia kept stretching their lead, which is 72 currently.
Bangla Tigers have pounced on the Kangaroos in the final session of the day. Australia managed to score just 56 runs in the 23 overs they faced in this session and lost 4 wickets as well. Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell's overcautious approach worked against them. They both got out in quick succession. Ashton Agar then tried to provide some resistance with Pat Cummins but both didn't last long.
The two umpires have a chat in the middle. The light is getting dimmer now and they decide to call it a day. It's STUMPS ON DAY 3!

Day 3, final session...
Glenn Maxwell holds the key from here on for the Aussies. They lead by 16 runs currently and will be aiming for at least 100 runs with five wickets in hand. The hosts will have to bowl a lot better and take their catches if they don't want to play the catching game. Do join us in a short while.
A good session of Test cricket. 96/3 in the 31 overs bowled. The play in the morning was completely washed out. Once it started after the lunch break, the Australian pair of Handscomb and Warner looked in fine touch again. However, the run out of the former gave the hosts a sniff. David Warner went on to score his century and along with Glenn Maxwell was building a good partnership when Mustafizur Rahman removed him.

Drinks break has been taken! Bangladesh bowlers have been very ordinary today. They were fortunate to break the partnership between Warner and Handscomb courtesy a brilliant work in the field by Shakib. And then could have struck again had Mehedi Hasan not dropped Maxwell. Amidst all this, Warner has looked solid and notched up back-to-back tons. The body language of the home side is also not looking good. The visitors are on the top at the moment. But, a wicket here can trigger a collapse.

Mustafizur isn't happy seeing this nor are the Bangladeshi supporters in the stadium. This might prove costly for the hosts. Maxwell also has to be wise.

Right, then! Our long wait has finally come to an end. Play will begin at 1315 local time. A minimum of 67 overs to be bowled today.
Update 1252 local time - Steve O'Keefe and Brendon Julian are in conversation near the pitch. They are pointing towards a particular area, mainly the zone outside off for the left-handers. The Australian coach, Darren Lehmann was also out there inspecting the surface a little while back. Meanwhile, the groundsmen are at work. If no more rain, we will be getting underway soon. Stay with us...
Update 1230 local time - We've some good news for you! The rain has stopped and the covers are slowly coming off. Good part is that the sun has come out as well which will help the groundsmen. The match officials are also on the ground inspecting the conditions. Let's hope for a prompt start after the lunch break.
Update 1200 local time - The rain is still pouring down. The covers remain in place. Meanwhile, lunch has been taken. Let's hope for some good news after the break. Do join us in a short while.
Update 1045 local time - The conditions have not improved much and the covers are still on. The rain continues to come down and it seems unlikely that we will have any play in the first session. Let's be positive. Stay tuned, we will keep you posted...
Update 0945 local time - Unfortunately, the last thing we least wanted has arrived. Yes, it's raining and is quite heavy at the moment. Hope it eases off and we get some play soon.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will look to keep their heads high and they would back themselves to run through the Australian side as quickly as possible. Shakib Al Hasan will look to recreate his magic and try to push the Kangaroos on the back foot. The first session of the day will be vital as it could very well push the game in one team's favour. An exciting day of cricket awaits. Stay tuned.
Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage of the third day of the 2nd Test between Bangladesh and Australia in Chittagong. The visitors are in a respectable position thanks to an unbeaten 127-run stand between Handscomb and Warner. Their presence in the middle could well prove to be the difference between the sides. The tourists would hope they keep on piling up runs and gain a big lead.
... Day 3, Session 1 ...
The hosts on the other hand were wayward with their bowling. They looked clueless and lacked ideas. Also, some missed opportunities and poor tactics from their skipper have put them on the back foot. A good night's rest is what they need and they would want to come fresh tomorrow in the hope of inflicting a collapse. There is turn and uneven bounce on offer but it is not that threatening. We are in for an eventful day of cricket. Do join us for all the action from day 3 at 1000 local (0400 GMT). Till then, take care and cheers!
A wicketless session for Bangladesh has turned the match in Australia's favour. An unbeaten 126-run stand between Handscomb and Warner has seen the visitors cut the deficit down to 80. The former fought his way through and is unbeaten on 69 whereas the latter had his share of luck and is 12 runs short of what would be a brilliant hundred. The away side have momentum on their side and they will now try and bat the home side out of the game.

... Day 2, Session 3 ...
The pitch isn't turning square and it is looking good to bat on. However, it's getting more and more difficult out there as the sun is beaming down in Chittagong. The task for both the teams is simple. For the hosts - they need wickets and for the visitors - they need a big partnership. Australia still trail by 194 runs with 8 wickets in hand. Join us soon for the last session of the day.
A session which belongs to Australia. The pair of Smith and Warner carried on from where they left off in the last match. They stitched back-to-back fifty stands, 93 to be precise with the skipper registering yet another half century. Both were looking at ease and the bowling wasn't threatening as well. However the introduction of Taijul Islam spiced things up as he struck with his first ball to get rid of Steven Smith.
