Bangladesh Dominates Australia on Day 2 of Darwin Test with Tanzid Hasan's Century

Continuing their strong performance in the Darwin Test, Bangladesh cemented their control over Australia by the end of Day 2, posting 351/6 in reply to Australia's first-innings total of 198.

Key Highlights:
- Tanzid Hasan's Century: Playing in his second Test, 25-year-old Tanzid Hasan scored a resilient 101 off 197 balls, anchoring the innings.
- Captain's Knock: Najmul Hossain Shanto contributed a vital 84 runs before falling to the second new ball.
- Late Australian Strikes: Australia's pace attack struck late in the day with quick wickets from Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins, but an unbeaten partnership between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahmud saw Bangladesh safely through to stumps with a 153-run lead.
- On-Field Clash: Tensions flared during the 103rd over when Mitchell Starc and Mehidy Hasan Miraz exchanged words over walking in the protected pitch area, requiring umpire intervention.
