ऑस्ट्रेलिया vs बांग्लादेश, दूसरा टेस्ट, हेर्रप पार्क, मैके - क्वींसलैंड, ऑस्ट्रेलीया, 22 August 2026 - लाइव क्रिकेट स्कोर

OUT! CAUGHT! Well, well! Would you believe it? Make that a fourth time that Mitchell Starc has struck on the first ball of a Test match. Adam Gilchrist on-air was just speaking about it before the first ball, and Starc's done it. He darts a fuller ball in towards middle stump and gets it to shape away beautifully. Shadman Islam ends up playing down the wrong line and the outside edge is found. The ball goes towards gully, where Cameron Green takes a good low catch.

Fuller and on the pads, looking for the booming outswinger, but this one slides on. Mominul Haque misses the flick and the ball brushes the pads on its way to the keeper.

FOUR! Too full and straight again, and Bangladesh are off the mark. On the pads, angling down leg, Haque clips it nicely down to fine leg and picks up a boundary to get going.

A change in line from Starc as he bowls this one in the channel outside off, getting it to shape away a bit. Haque makes a watchful leave.

Good length, wider of the off pole and shaping away nicely. Haque lets it go.

A good change-up to end the over. Mitchell Starc bangs it in shorter over off at 138.6 kph, taking the batter by surprise. Mominul Haque hops up to fend it away, and the ball shapes away, going past the handle of the blade. Entertaining start to the Test and Starc has a big smile on his face.

A bit of swing into the left-hander to begin with from Josh. Good length, starts on leg and darts in. Hasan tucks it behind square leg and gets off the mark with a single.

Lovely length and channel from Hazlewood, just outside off and shaping it back in. Haque shoulders arms at it.

A beauty from the Hoff! Just a shade under 129 clicks, lands it on middle and gets it to zip across the left-hander, late as well. Mominul Haque gets beaten past the outside edge and the ball goes over the stumps as well.

Much fuller on middle, Haque gets slightly forward and nudges it out to cover.

Straighter line, on the fuller side and angling down leg. Haque looks to tuck it fine but misses.

FOUR! Nearly a perfect start for Hazlewood as well. Nice and full, swinging into the pads, and there's a bit of spongy bounce on offer for the bowlers. Mominul Haque clips it uppishly and to the left of Pat Cummins at wide mid-wicket. He springs across, but the ball goes well wide and runs away to the fence.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc at his very best, and he's got a wicket off the first ball of the over again. Starc pushes the ball very full and outside off, getting it to shape away. It's a bit of a nothing shot from Tanzid Hasan as he just jabs at it and the ball flies off the outside edge to third slip. Beau Webster takes a sharp catch around his waist and the Aussies appeal for a catch. The umpires want to check whether it is a bump ball or not, and the very first replay quickly confirms that it isn't a bump ball. Australia have turned up the heat.

OUT! LBW! Mitchell Starc is on a hat-trick! Starc goes full again but he pushes the ball into the left-hander this time. Najmul Hossain Shanto leans on to flick but falls over a bit and gets beaten past the inside edge, getting hit on the front pad. There is a big appeal, and the umpire's finger eventually goes up. Kumar Dharmasena really took his time with this one and Najmul Hossain Shanto has reviewed it. The third umpire is called in and there's nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking shows that it is just clipping the leg stump and that's enough for the on-field call to stand. Bangladesh are in a spot of real bother at 9/3.

The double bluff, but it doesn't quite work out for Starc. This is pitched on a good length, around the fourth stump line, but doesn't nip back in enough. Mushfiqur Rahim makes the leave, and the ball goes through to the keeper. No hat-trick!

Just a shade fuller this time, similar line to the last one and shapes in a touch. Rahim gets forward and then makes an exaggerated leave.

Length ball from Starc, outside the line of off stump, left alone again by Rahim.

Another leave by Rahim, and it's a double-wicket maiden for Starc. The in-between length now, sliding it across the off stump, and collected easily by the keeper.

Full of a good length, swinging in from middle. Haque clips it past square leg for a single. Pat Cummins is quick to pick it up and scores a direct hit at the batter's end but Rahim is well in.

Good length, attacking the top of off, Rahim blocks it off the front foot.

Much fuller and outside off, Rahim moves to the off side a bit and makes a Steve Smith-esque leave.

Rahim gets away with one here. Fuller length outside off, driveable length but Mushfiqur Rahim goes at it with hard hands. There's enough extra bounce in the pitch that a half-volley doesn't feel like one and the ball flies off the outside edge towards gully, but falls short.

Ooh, that's a snorter from Josh. Hazlewood bends his back and bashes the shorter length, bowling it around off. The ball zips through off the deck, and Rahim hurriedly sways away from the line of the ball.

Bowled on a hard length and over the stumps, Rahim stays put and defends it off.

Very full and on middle, Mominul Haque smothers it on the full, digging it out on the off side.

Good-length delivery, on off stump, doesn't shape away much. Haque blocks it off.

That's the stock delivery from Starc. Pushing it fuller, threatening to angle into the off stump but then shaping it away. Haque pushes at it but the ball beats the outside edge.

Length ball, drifting down the leg side. Haque fails to flick it away.
