| 4.1 : 4.1: Ashton Agar to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! Uppish but wide! A little fortune for Shakib! Fuller and outside off, he goes after it. Hits it up in the air wide of covers for a bounbary. |
| 5.6 : 5.6: Nathan Ellis to Shakib Al Hasan, TOP EDGE AND FOUR! A good way to end the Powerplay but it belongs to the Aussies! This is shorter and on middle, zips through. Shakib is late in the pull, it goes off the top edge and over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
| 7.2 : 7.2: Mitchell Marsh to Mahmudullah, FOUR! A much-needed boundary for the Tigers! A fuller ball on middle. Mahmudullah lofts it over mid-wicket. It bounces just before the ropes and hence a boundary. That was a risky shot. It was the longer part of the ground. Had he hit that to the other side, it would have gone over the ropes. They needed to check upstairs if it had gone all the way or not and it bounced just inside. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Mitchell Marsh to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! Improvisation from Shakib! A slower short ball on middle. Shakib Al Hasan swivels across and scoops it over the keeper's head for a boundary. |
| 7.5 : 7.5: Mitchell Marsh to Shakib Al Hasan, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Shakib! A length ball around off. Shakib Al Hasan cuts it late and beats the diving sweeper cover for another boundary. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Adam Zampa to Shakib Al Hasan, OUT! This is a big wicket for the Aussies as Shakib Al Hasan was starting to get into his own now! Zampa once again strikes on the first ball of his new over. He gives it air and lands it on off, Shakib looks to go downtown. He does hit it decently but not well enough. Agar runs to his left and looks to take it with a slide but his back foot gets stuck in the groud. The good thing for the visitors is that he hangs on. Shakib is gutted as he walks back. He kno |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Ashton Agar to Afif Hossain, SIX! BANGED! Bowls full again on middle. Afif Hossain advances down the track and heaves it over mid-wicket for a biggie. Really good from Afif! Has began brilliantly. He has really shown good signs of form and he has a chance here to make a really good contribution. |
| 10.5 : 10.5: Nathan Ellis to Afif Hossain, FOUR! Afif Hossain continues his fine form! A short of a length ball, on the bodyline. Hossain pulls it softly and bisects the mid-wicket and square leg to perfection for a boundary. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: Dan Christian to Afif Hossain, OUT! Hossain has given it away! Really not sure if they needed to take this run. However, that is exceptional work from Carey! He is a keeper but he has done brilliantly here. On off, Afif pushes it towards cover and takes off. He was never going to make it. Carey gets to the ball from covers and he is falling underarms it onto the stumps at the bowler's end. The Aussies know Hossain is short and they start to celebrate. It is taken upstairs and replays show |
| 13.4 : 13.4: Josh Hazlewood to Shamim Hossain, OUT! TAKEN! Another one bites the dust and all of a sudden, Bangladesh are in trouble here! This is slightly short, skids through quickly after pitching. Shamim is hurried into the pull, it goes off the splice over mid-wicket. The fielder runs back and takes a good catch. |
| 14.5 : 14.5: Adam Zampa to Nurul Hasan, SIX! Over the fence! Poweful shot! On middle, right in the slog. This is heaved over the long on fence for a biggie. Hasan has started well so far but needs to keep going. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: Dan Christian to Mahmudullah, OUT! RUN OUT! They wanted a quick single but Henriques get the better of him! Aussies are terrific on the field today! A length ball on middle. Mahmudullah taps it to covers and scampers through for a quick single. Moises Henriques grabs it on a bounce and scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Nurul Hasan was late on the call and was way short of the crease as well. In the end continues his run, back to the shed. |
| 17.6 : 17.6: Nathan Ellis to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Stand and deliver! In the slot, on off. Mahmudullah stands tall and drives it uppishly over covers for a much-needed boundary. The last ball spoils the over somewhat. |
| 18.5 : 18.5: Josh Hazlewood to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Cheeky! A length ball on middle. Mahmudullah shimmies across on the off side and scoops it over the keeper's head, does not middle it but enough for it to race away to the fence. |
| 19.3 : 19.3: Nathan Ellis to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Fifty up for Mahmudullah! His first fifty of the series and he is also the first one to score on in this series so far. Really good innings. Has taken Bangladesh close to what they defended in the first game. A slower short ball on middle. Mahmudullah waits for it and pulls it to square leg for a boundary. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Nathan Ellis to Mahmudullah, OUT! TIMBER! Nathan Ellis gets a wicket on his debut and he is a happy man! A good length ball on middle, a slower delivery. Mahmudullah looks to heave it on the leg side but gets deceived by the pace off the ball. He swings too early and the ball sneaks through and rattles the stump. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Nathan Ellis to Mustafizur Rahman, OUT! CAUGHT! Bangladesh falling apart in the end! A slower full ball on middle. Mustafizur Rahman swings his bat but does not middle it. Hits it high in the air and towards deep mid-wicket where Mitchell Marsh takes a simple catch. Ellis is on a Hat-Trick here. |

Hasan pulls it straight towards deep mid-wicket where Ashton Agar takes a low dipping catch. A dream debut for Nathan Ellis.  Bangladesh end at 127 for 9. |
| 1.6: Josh Hazlewood to Mohammad Naim, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! First blood to Australia and Hazlewood strikes! The runs were not flowing and now the first one falls! A good length ball on middle, moving across from the batter. Mohammad Naim looks to guide it down to third man but the ball kisses the outside edge and the keeper takes a brilliant low catch. |
| 2.1 : 2.1: Adam Zampa to Soumya Sarkar, OUT! LBW! Zampa serves a very full ball on middle and leg. Sarkar goes for the sweep but misses it completely. Australia appeal for LBW, the umpire takes quite a while but raises his finger in the end. Sarkar has a chat with Shakib Al Hasan and goes for the review. UltraEdge shows no bat on it. Ball Tracking shows umpire's call and the on-field decision stays. Soumya Sarkar departs after struggling in the middle and Bangladesh are 2 down. The move to get Zamp |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Mahedi Hasan to Ben McDermott, SIX! First maximum of the chase! A short ball on middle. Ben McDermott clears his front foot and powers it, over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Nasum Ahmed to Matthew Wade, OUT! CAUGHT! Strings of low score continues for Matthew Wade! Ahmed was bowling slower deliveries but this time goes with the quicker one on middle.

| 6.4 : 6.4: Nasum Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Is that the release shot? Welcome boundary for Australia! The sweep is out and it is hit hard through square leg. Boundary. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Nasum Ahmed to Mitchell Marsh, SIX! What a shot that is! Shot of the game probably! This is a little too full outside off. Marsh lofts it with the turn and he clears the cover fence. Power. Much-needed for Australia. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Shakib Al Hasan to Ben McDermott, SIX! McDermott tried to pull it on the first ball but this time he connects it! A short ball on middle. Ben McDermott pulls it over mid-wicket for a biggie. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Shoriful Islam to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Beautiful shot! He continues his fine form! A full ball, slower and on off. Marsh drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Shoriful Islam to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Well played! A short of a length ball on middle. Mitchell Marsh pulls it wide of deep square leg for another boundary. |
| 10.4: Soumya Sarkar to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! Hammered! Really not what you want to bowl to Marsh! This is short and on middle, it is powered through mid-wicket. In the gap and for a boundary. Marsh is taking the game away. |
| 13.2 : 13.2: Shakib Al Hasan to Ben McDermott, OUT! TIMBER! There is the wicket Bangladesh needed and it is their star man, Shakib who provides it, the drop does not cost a lot. It is on middle, stays a touch low. Ben McDermott looks to play the slog sweep but misses and it hits the stumps behind. Bangladesh probably ahead in the game now. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Shoriful Islam to Moises Henriques, OUT! TAKEN! The slower ball doing the trick for Islam! The pressure was building from the last two overs! A full ball, slower and on middle.

Mitchell Marsh goes for the pull but ends up getting a leading edge, in the air and towards mid on. Mohammad Naim charges in from long on, and takes a brilliant forward diving catch. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Shoriful Islam to Alex Carey, FOUR! An important boundary for Australia! A short ball on middle. Alex Carey pulls it in between, mid-wicket and long on for a boundary. 100 up for Australia. |
