    0.1 caught in the gully first ball! Starc does it again! Full, angled into middle and shaping away to off, Shadman in a tangle squared up trying to work through midwicket, closes the face, gets a leading edge and it flies to Green who clutches it to his chest in the gully 0/1
    2.1 edged straight to third slip! Webster pouches it. The umpires want to check bump ball. Looked a regulation catch live. Very full, almost a wide yorker, shaping away, he jams the bat down, it bounced before catching the edge and flies straight to Webster at waist high. Clearly out. Tanzid out for nought. 9/2
    4.5 another one steered into the gully! The umpires will check bump ball and whether it carried to the diving Green. Full, almost a wide yorker, shaping away, just like Tanzid he jams the bat down and gets a thick edge, it pitched before the edge, not a bump ball, it flies low to Green's left and he takes it beautifully diving low. Clean catch. Starc has four 10/4
    2.2 given lbw! Shanto will review but this looks out! Umpire Dharmasena took his time but believes it is out. Full, threatening to shape away, it hits the seam and nips in a touch past the inside edge as he's caught on the crease, it hammers into his front shin. No bat involved, ball tracking says it is clipping leg! Umpire's call. Shanto thinks he is unlucky. 9/3
    15.3 Straight through the gates and Cummins strike! Lovely seam up delivery on the off the stump channel, nips in just enough to go through the slight opening between bat-pad of Rahim as he tries to play off the front foot, rattles the furniture and Bangladesh lose their most experienced Test batter. 21/6
    6.4 lbw appeal given not out. Australia review! Full, shaping into leg, he's caught on the crease trying to whip square. It misses the inside edge and cannons into the pad in line with leg. Ball tracking has it smashing leg halfway up! Three reds. Webster breathes a huge sigh of relief. Starc has five! 12/5
    24.3 Webster clings onto this one at third slip! 134kph, full, fifth stump, enticing the drive, no seam movement at all, he drives hard on the up, gets a thick edge, it flies low to Webster's right and takes an excellent two-handed catch diving to his right 36/7
    25.5 glanced straight to Lyon at leg slip! Back of a length, angled at the hip, he plays a regulation leg glance straight to Lyon who pouches it waist high. Simple catch. The plan works first time 38/8

    28.1 skied straight up and Renshaw camps under it to take it at square leg! Clear plan to bounce Taskin. For the third time in two overs he takes it on backing away and finally his skied attempt at a pull finds safe hands. Renshaw had to watch it carefully in the breeze but he did well 39/9
    33.6 caught behind! Shoriful finally nicks one! Good length, fourth stump, extra bounce, he backs away to slice it and gets a thin nick off the shoulder through to Carey 64/10

    7.2 Chopped on and Head is furious at himself! Back of a length ball outside off that nips back sharply off the seam, catching the inside edge, deflecting off the thigh pad and crashing into the stumps! Head was looking in sublime touch and is visibly gutted with that shot after getting completely cramped for room. 40/2
    2.6 Edged and taken at slip! A touch fuller angling in from outside off. Renshaw shuffles across once again too early and plays off the front foot, closes the face of the bat and kisses the outside edge to the third slip fielder, who hangs on to it nicely. 22/1
    7.5 Brushed off the thigh pad and knocked over the leg stump! Marnus can't believe it, but the damage is done. A length ball on middle and leg and he shuffles across to tuck it away, but the shot is far too casual. He misses it completely, and the ball clips the thigh pad before rattling into the stumps. A soft dismissal of the highest order. 41/3
    25.5 given lbw! Smith reviews. Fuller length, Smith plays back, it nips in off the seam and hits high on the pad. Height the question. No bat involved as he played the wrong line. It hit above the knee roll. Umpire's call clipping the outside of the off bail! Smith throws his head back. Similar to Shanto's earlier to the same umpire Dharmasena. He has given the tight call to the bowler! 118/4
    47.2 huge lbw appeal and Bangladesh review! What a delivery! Inswinging yorker that hit Green on the toe and knocked him off his feet onto all fours. The ball ran to deep third and they ran a leg bye. This looks close though. No bat. Looks plumb actually. Ball tracking says middle of middle. Strange non decision from Dharmasena. Shoriful has seven! Incredible bowling 186/9
    30.6 Straight up in the air and taken by Mahmud! Top-notch bowling change from Shanto. Looped up a length ball on the stumps channel, Carey charges down the track to play the short arm jab stroke, miscues it completely and skies it towards the mid-on area. Mahmud rushes to his right side, settles underneath and completes the catch. 145/5
    31.3 There are two noises, and Shoriful is adamant with his appeal - he convinces Kumar Dharmasena, and up goes the finger! Webster reviews it straight away. It's a good length ball on the stumps that Webster plays down the wrong line. His bat gets stuck behind the pad, which explains the double noise. Ball tracking comes up: pitching in line, impact in line, and crashing into off stump - three reds! It swung back late to completely deceive the batter. A golden duck for Webster! 146/6
    31.5 Five-for for Shoriful Islam, sends the Aussie skipper back to the hut for a silver duck! Banged in short, it catches the batter completely by surprise. He tries to fend it away while taking his eyes off the ball and it brushes the glove before popping up off the shoulder for LKD behind the stumps to pouch comfortably. It's all happening out there! The Bangladesh fans in the stands have found their voice, and Shoriful celebrates a magnificent five-wicket haul! 146/7
    33.1 Shoriful is breathing fire! A seam-up delivery on off stump that straightens sharply off the deck, whizzing past Starc's outside edge as he tries to push the ball away from his body off the front foot, and clips the top of off stump! Shoriful is absolutely pumped, celebrating with his arms spread wide like a bird in full flight. 148/8

    52.3 slog sweep skied straight up and it's held by Shadman! Tossed up in the arc, Hazlewood is tempted, he tries to slog sweep and it goes straight up, Shadman runs under it from midwicket and clutches it to his chest after it came out of the sun 210/10

    7.5 Catching practice for Starc at long leg! Poor composure from the Bangladesh batters. Banged in short on middle-off, he offers a half-hearted swivel pull, connecting with only half a swing to chip it straight to Starc at deep fine leg, who doesn't have to move an inch to take the catch right by the boundary. 24/3
    2.2 Starc continues his impressive form with the ball! Shadman lasted just three deliveries, looking completely clueless right from the start. On a hard length ball aiming for the stumps, he committed to the back foot early and closed the bat face, playing a nothing stroke that chipped a simple leading edge straight to point. 5/1
    2.3 It's all happening out there in Mackay! My oh my, Starc, you beauty! Pitching on a good length around off stump, Mominul is caught in two minds about whether to play or leave. He decides to offer no shot to a delivery that nips back in, only to watch it clip the top of off stump! 5/2
    20.6 chipped straight down Starc's throat at long-off! What a terrible way to fall from the skipper! Pressure building, Lyon tossed up, Shanto was maybe trying to loft over cover but got it off the inside half of the bat and lofted it straight to Starc 10 metres off the rope. That was like catching practice. Nice reward for Lyon but Shanto will kick himself for that 51/4

    24.4 edged straight to third slip! Guided to Webster basically. Litton has three zeroes for the series. Back of a length, angled across, Litton flaps at it with no footwork and edges waist high to Webster at third who pouches it to his right 63/5
    27.3 Edged and taken by Carey! Poor, poor batting from the visitors, and the slide continues. With virtually no footwork, Miraz chases a wide bouncer from Cummins, trying to ramp it over the keeper. The extra bounce catches the edge instead, nicking it straight through to Carey behind the stumps. 68/6
    29.3 Bouncer does the trick! A short ball angling into middle-leg gets too big on him as he tries to force a pull shot, only to succeed in gloving it up for Head to take a simple catch at short leg. 70/7
    35.1 Cleaned him up with a beaut! A 10-wicket haul for Starc! An outstanding display of bowling from the left-arm seamer. A hard length ball angling in on the stumps catches Taijul completely by surprise as he tries to play across the line. He gets nowhere near it, and the ball crashes into the top of the leg stump. 82/8
    38.1 edged and pouched at first slip by Smith! Beautiful delivery. Drifting in from around the wicket, pitching on off, spinning away, Taskin drives, gets a thick edge, Smith dives low to his right and pouches his 219th Test catch 95/9
    38.3 sliced to backward point! Starc another catch! Australia win by an innings. Shoriful charges down the track wildly trying to launch down the ground, got nowhere need the pitch, slices it off a thick outside edge to backward point and Starc takes a good catch above his head 95/10
