Australia bowlers toil as Bangladesh bat through day two to build 153-run lead

<p>Australia claim only five wickets on the second day as Bangladesh reach 351 for six and build an ominous first-innings lead in Darwin</p><p><strong>28th over: Bangladesh 108-1 (Tanzid 37, Mominul 42) </strong>Cummins adjusts his approach to around the wicket to Mominul but is fortunate a half-volley is driven straight to the alert Labuschagne in the covers. The first attempted lifter of the day gets up high enough to clip the batter’s bottom hand., but it was slow and loopy bounce, consistent with what we’ve seen all Test so far.</p><p>There is little sideways movement on offer for Australia, and the tennis ball bounce means the window of a good length is very short.
