Bangladesh bowled out for 64, Stark shines in second Test

The second Test at Adelaide turned into a showcase for Australia’s pace attack, especially Michel Stark. After opting to bowl first, Australia saw Stark deliver a spell of 10 overs, conceding only 12 runs while claiming six wickets, including the crucial early dismissals of Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, Taijul Islam and Shoriful Islam. Bangladesh’s innings stalled at 64 runs after 34 overs, with four batsmen failing to score and seven unable to reach double figures. Pat Cummins contributed three wickets for 25 runs, and Josh Hazlewood added one more. The Australian batting line‑up entered the field with three early wickets lost, but Smith and Green stood firm, ending the day unbeaten.
