Australia vs Bangladesh 2nd Test Day 2 Wrap: STARC DEMOLISHES BANGLADESH

What a day in Mackay! An extraordinary 18 wickets fell on the opening day of the second Test, with Mitchell Starc producing a devastating spell of 6-12 as Bangladesh were bowled out for just 64.

But Australia couldn't capitalise. After getting themselves into a dominant position, the batting order collapsed yet again, with Shoriful Islam taking 6-35 and Australia stumbling to 8-165 at stumps. Cameron Green's unbeaten 51 and Steve Smith's 42 have given Australia a lead of 101, but Bangladesh have fought their way back into the contest.

Menners looks at Starc's incredible performance, the concerns around Australia's batting, another failure for Marnus Labuschagne, Bo Webster's place in the side, the spicy Mackay pitch and whether Australia have left the door open for Bangladesh to turn this into a much closer Test.
