Day two of the first Test match between Australia and Bangladesh at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin belonged to the tourists. Having dismissed Australia for 198 in the first innings, Bangladesh had amassed 181 for two in the first session of day two. Tanzid Hasan notched up his first ever Test half-century and was still unbeaten on 74. Mominul Haque fell two short of a half-century, getting out to Josh Hazlewood for 49.
Bangladesh made sure that they are firmly in control by performing exceedingly well with the bat on Friday, which is the first session of day two. Both Tanzid and Mominul played exceptionally well, leaving the Australian bowlers eager to get their wickets. The duo of Tanzid and Mominul stitched an excellent 102 run partnership for the second wicket, where Tanzid notched up his first ever Test half-century in just the second test match. Bangladesh lost their second wicket at 138 after Mominul was out for 49 runs.
Australia won the toss and scored just 198 runs in their first innings. Steve Smith top-scored for Australia with a half-century of 71. Five other batsmen failed to reach double figures. Meanwhile, Hasan Mahmud took six wickets for Bangladesh. Taskin Ahmed and Ibadat Hossain took two wickets each.

Nazmul Hossain Shanto is batting on 28, while Tanzid Hasan Tamim is batting on 74. Thus, all four sessions of the match have been in the Bangladesh team's favour. While the Bangladeshi bowlers wreaked havoc on the first day, the Australian seamers are still struggling to take wickets on the second day as well.
