Bangladesh vs Australia, Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 3: Australia to begin from 225/2. From a hot and humid second day, the third day’s play has been delayed because of heavy rains. Who is that good news for? The bowlers most likely. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Peter Handscomb had to give it all – physically as well as mentally. Needing a ten minute injury break to apply an ice pack to his head and to get some much needed water, the Aussie batsman had to find his complete resolve to keep the partnership with David Warner going and going it did. By stumps, the two had put together 127 runs for the third wicket and taken the visitors within 80 runs of Bangladesh’s first innings total of 305 runs. Australia, hoping to level the series, would expect the duo to continue toiling on the third day to reduce the deficit further. While Handscomb battled physical duress, Warner fought his instinctive combative batting approach. He took 98 balls for his fifty and by 170 balls, he had hit just four boundaries.
