The carnage continued in the second session with Bangladesh crashing to 9\/39 with Aussie captain Pat Cummins ripping through the lower order. <\/p>\n
It left Bangladesh facing a historic embarrassment as they looked to limp beyond the country\u2019s lowest ever Test score, which stands at 43, recorded against the West Indies in 2018.<\/p>\n
Starc walked off the field to a standing ovation, finishing the innings with 6\/12 from 10 overs. <\/p>\n
Cummins won the toss and his bowlers made the most of early moisture on the wicket, determined to bounce back from a shock nine-wicket loss in the first Test at Darwin. <\/p>\n
An irrepressible Starc was the destroyer in an incredible spell of swing and seam to bag 5-11 off nine overs. <\/p>\n
At the break, Mehidy Hasan Miraz was unbeaten on 11 and Hasan Mahmud eight not out.<\/p>\n
Australia made a stunning start when Starc removed Shadman Islam with the first ball of the day, tempting a leading edge that Cameron Green did well to hold in the gully. <\/p>\n
It was the fourth time the veteran left-armer has got a wicket with the maiden ball of a Test \u2014 becoming the first player to do so \u2014 and the ninth time he has achieved the feat in the opening over. <\/p>\n
The 36-year-old sent Bangladesh\u2019s other opener Tanzid Hasan packing with the first ball of his second over, caught at slip by Beau Webster, then trapped captain Najmul Hossain Shanto lbw with his next delivery. <\/p>\n
It left the visitors reeling at 3-9 in the third over.<\/p>\n
The experienced Mushfiqur Rahim fended off Starc\u2019s hat-trick ball, but he was unstoppable and grabbed his fourth wicket in his third over. <\/p>\n
This time, Mominul Haque was the victim in a similar dismissal to Shadman, undone by late swing to send a thick edge low to Green in the gully on nine. <\/p>\n
Webster dropped a sitter at third slip off Starc in his fourth over, but Litton Das\u2019 luck ran out next ball, out lbw on review as the visitors slumped to 5-12. <\/p>\n
It was the 19th time Starc has taken five wickets in an innings and achieved in just 22 balls \u2014 the sixth fastest of all-time. <\/p>\n
His early spell left Aussie greats Allan Border, Brendon Julian and Michael Hussey stunned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a star he is. Unbelievable signs from Australia and from Mitchell Starc,\u201d Aussie great Julian said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n
Aussie cult hero Kerry O\u2019Keeffe also said on Fox Cricket: \u201cAmazing here at Great Barrier Reef Arena. It\u2019s like a zoo, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been four ducks, giraffes have caught three and there\u2019s a Lyon at square leg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd these poor old Tigers, they\u2019ve been mauled,\u201d Mark Waugh added. <\/p>\n
Starc holds the record after taking five in only 15 balls in Jamaica against the West Indies in 2025. <\/p>\n
Mushfiqur hung around for 41 balls but he had no answer when Cummins came on, clean bowled for five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australia have suffered an extraordinary collapse
