Mitchell Starc bagged four wickets and 10 for the match as he ripped through the Bangladesh batting to put Australia on the brink of a commanding second Test victory inside two days on Sunday.
After 18 wickets fell on a frenetic first day in Mackay, the hosts were all out for 210 in the morning session for a lead of 146 on the back of Cameron Green's 67. Star quick Shoriful Islam ended with 7-48 -- the best figures from a Bangladeshi bowler in an away Test. The visitors crashed for just 64 in their first innings, when Starc took 6-12, and he was the chief tormentor again to leave Bangladesh tettering at 95-8 by tea, still trailing by 51.
