Miraz bowls out Aussies skipper Smith early on day 2

Bangladesh's young spinner Mehedi Hasan Miraz bowled out Australia's skipper Steven Smith for the 2nd day's first breakthrough of the first Test in Mirpur on Monday.

Australia resumed the first innings with overnight score of 18/3 in nine overs, replying to Bangladesh 260 runs in the first innings, and were batting on 100/4 in 31st over at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

Overnight opening batsman Matt Renshaw (33 off 69b; 4x4) and Peter Handscomb (28 off 51b; 5x4) were at the crease for the visiting side.

Miraz did the job in the last ball of the innings 12th over when aggressive batsman Steven Smith collected only 8 off 16 balls, involving one boundary. Smith added just five runs more with his overnight score of 3 runs.

Mehedi delivered a flight on middle and leg to Smith who advanced to get the pitch but rather inexplicably misses the ball to hit the leg stump at Aussies 33/4 in 12 overs.
