Jasprit Bumrah's tenure as the No.1 ranked Test bowler is over as Australia pacer Mitchell Starc claimed the premier position for the first time in his illustrious career on the back of his dominant performance against Bangladesh.

With Nathan Lyon almost as iconic in Australian cricket as the baggy green cap worn by the nation's test players, selectors face a delicate task in managing a proud spinner whose role may be curtailed amid changing priorities.

Playing a Test in Australia for the first time, Shoriful Islam has already given himself a place in Bangladesh cricket’s record books. But the left-arm pacer’s seven-wicket haul in the second Test in Mackay has also put him in the company of one of the game’s greatest fast bowlers.

After winning the opening Test in Darwin by nine wickets, Bangladesh leave their first tour of Australia in 23 years with the two-match series tied 1-1.

Australia have won the toss and elected to field first in the second and final Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay on Saturday.

For a team accustomed to dominating at home, the language used by the Australian media was unusually severe.

Bangladesh made history in Darwin, crushing Australia by nine wickets on Sunday for their first-ever Test win on Australian soil. After bowling the hosts out for 284, the Tigers needed just 57 and barely broke a sweat against a full-strength Australia, wrapping up proceedings in the second session on Day 4. Here are the highlights:

If the manner of Bangladesh’s performance in the first Test against Australia in Darwin, which culminated in a commanding nine-wicket victory on Day 4 yesterday, is anything to go by, the Tigers are a very different unit from the one that last toured Australia 23 years ago.

It was not a victory built around one miraculous spell or one lucky session. The Tigers won this Test the hard way-- session after session, day after day.

Mahmud, Miraz help Tigers win first Test by nine wickets

Australia reached 161 for four at stumps, still trailing Bangladesh by 67 runs with two days remaining. Green was unbeaten on 43 and Carey on 19, with the pair ensuring there was no further damage before the close.

Bangladesh have caught the cricketing world’s attention after dominating Australia through the first two days of their opening Test in Darwin.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz remained unbeaten on 32 off 73 balls while Hasan Mahmud was not out on 13 off 76 deliveries as Bangladesh ended Day 2 of the first Test against Australia on Friday with 351 runs on the board, having lost six wickets.

If Australians did not know Hasan Mahmud before the first Test in Darwin, they certainly know the Bangladesh pacer now.

Hasan Mahmud’s career-best 6-55 bowled Australia out for 198 as Bangladesh seized the honours on Day 1 in Darwin. The Tigers closed on 96-1, just 102 behind, with Mominul Haque unbeaten on 35 and Tanzid Hasan on 32. A superb start to a Test many expected Bangladesh to lose inside three days. Here are the highlights:

Bangladesh enjoyed an incredible day on the opening day of their first Test against Australia at the Marrara Stadium in Darwin today.

The visitors trail by 102 runs with nine wickets in hand, having followed an outstanding bowling performance with a composed start with the bat.

Australia all-rounder Beau Webster believes Nahid Rana’s absence is a big blow for Bangladesh heading into the Tests in Darwin and Mackay, but says Australia also face an element of the unknown with Bangladesh’s bowling attack.

Ashes pace hero Michael Neser was left out of the 13-man party for the two-match series in Darwin and Mackay beginning on August 13, with Scott Boland named as the fourth seamer.

Pat Cummins admits that even taking the first hattrick of the T20 World Cup may not save him from the axe when Australia tackle Afghanistan in their next Super Eights clash.
