Maxwell departs, Australia 144/8

43.1 overs, Aus 144/8- Maxwell tries a shot too many. He dances down the wicket against Shakib Al Hasan but the witty Shakib flights the ball adequately and pusjes it a bit wide off the stumps where Maxwell has to reach out. Maxwell misses the line of the delivery completely and is stumped by Mushfiq.

End of over 40

Maxwell is batting on 17 and Ashton Agar is on 2. Mehedi Hasan has started the second day brilliantly as well. He has figures of 3-36 from his 15 overs. There is sharp turn and bounce on the wicket.

40.6 overs, Aus 136/7 - Agar tries a lusty hit down the ground off Mehedi. Ball flies high up but falls safely. The fielder running back to take the catch was unable to make it on time.

36.6 overs, Aus 124/7 - Mehedi Hasan strikes again! Wade has no answer for Mehedi, who bamboozles him with a drifter that holds it's line. Shouts of leg-before wicket is approved by the umpire witha nod as Australia lose their seventh wicket.

Great session for Bangladesh as the players go for Lunch in the second day of the first Test.

Bangladesh have fought really well since the partnership between Matt Renshaw and Peter Handscomb. The Tigers have managed to pick up three wickets in the morning session.

Handscomb and Renshaw put on a 69 run partnership before Taijul broke the partnership with the wicket of Handscomb. Renshawa followed soon when he was removed by Shakib Al Hasan.

35.1 overs, Aus 117/6 - Soumya makes up for his earlier drop as this time Shakib gets the edge of Renshaw's bat. Beautiful flighted delivery teases and tantalises the batsman and Renshaw edges it to Soumya at slip who fumbles the catch first time but grabs onto it in his second attempt after ball looped in the air from hitting his hands.

34.1 overs, Aus 110/5 -Soumya Sarkar drops Renshaw at slip after Taijul's delivery catches the edge.

32.3 overs, Aus 102/5 - Handscomb walks after he went to the backfoot to counter Taijul, misses the line of the delivery and you won't get an easier leg-before decision than that. Taijul makes the breakthrough.

Fizz is getting some good movement on his deliveries. Their is a hint of reverse swing as he beats Renshaw all ends up.

Australia bring up their 100 as Renshaw tucks Taijul to square leg for a single.

Taijul Islam gets one to land in the rough outside the off-stump. Ball stays very low and hits the pad before there are appeals from the Bangladesh players. 'Not Out' says the umpire.

 Australia have gone well about rebuilding their innings. The score is 97/4 after 30 overs.

End of over 30

Mustafiz has been able to create some doubts in the minds of these two batsman. The two batsman out there however are good players of spin. They have latched on to Taijul in the 29th over and both batsman used the sweep effectively to score boundaries off him.

Peter Handscomb has an unusual stance. He seems to be having some difficulty reading the cutter. He has shuffled across his stumps unusualy. Perhaps to counter for Mustafizur's yorker?

Drinks are over! It's time for the Fizz to take the stage. The left armer starts with one shaping away from Renshaw before trying his trademark cutter in only the second ball. Renshaw gets beaten for flight but adjusts well.

It's drinks on the second day of the first Test between Bangladesh and Australia.

End of over 25

Taijul Islam has been brought into the attack. Taijul starts with a full pitched half-volley and Matt Renshaw punishes it accordingly. Then Renshaw flicks one that was drifting down leg and the Aussies run three.

Australia are 83 for four after 25 overs. Handscomb and Renshaw are on 28 and 32 runs respectively.

Renshaw latches onto one from Shakib and drives him through mid wicket for four. One ball later he does it again, picking his spot to lift the ball over mid wicket and the ball goes for four. Handscomb showing some positivity as he puts some pressure back on Bangladesh.

Not playing with the bat has been a dangerous ploy in subcontinent pitches. Mehedi gets one to hold it's line and there is a shout for lbw. Ball pitched on line but possibly drifting wide. After some consideration Mehedi and Mushfiqur Rahim decides against a review.

End of over 20

Matt Renshaw and Peter Handscomb are at the crease for Australia. It's been a difficult morning and Mehedi Hasan Miraz has been able to put enough pressure on skipper Steve Smith to put him into a rash decision.

Renshaw edged Shakib in the 18th over but the thick outside edge falls short of Soumya Sarkar at slip. Ball races to the boundary for four. This are important runs for Australia as they look to overcome early morning nerves.

End of over 15

At the end of 15 overs Australia are 44 for the loss of four wickets. Captain Steve Smith was removed by Mehedi Hasan.

Shakib Al Hasan and Mehedi Hasan have been bowling in tandem after Shafiul Islam's early spell in the morning. Mehedi  has so far picked up two wickets so far and Shakib Al Hasan got one.

11.6 overs, Aus 33/4 - Steven Smith charges down the wicket to Mehidy. Smith tries to play across the line and pays the price.
