Aug 22 : Australia paceman Mitchell Starc took five wickets in his first four overs of the second test against Bangladesh in a brutal spell of swing bowling on a bouncy, Gabba-style wicket in Mackay, Queensland on Saturday.

• The left-armer removed both Bangladesh openers, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto and wicketkeeper Litton Das for ducks to leave Bangladesh at 12 for five.

• Opener Shadman Islam was out with the first ball of the match after sending a thick edge flying to Cameron Green in the gully.

• Opener Tanzid Hasan followed in Starc's next over with a loose drive sending a nick to Beau Webster in the slips, before Shanto was trapped lbw on the next ball, leaving Bangladesh at 9 for three.
