Bangladesh vs Australia, Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 3: Australia are 365/8. After lunch, Australia were going steady with Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell at the crease. However, Wade fell for 8 after playing down the wrong line of an inswinging delivery by Mustafizur Rahman. Glenn Maxwell also departed for 38 after edging one to short-leg. Meanwhile, David Warner scored an extremely useful 123 runs for his 20th Test ton, second in the series and third in Asia. What a remarkable knock in this intense battle against heat and his own usual style. It took him 203 balls to bring up the century. Mustafizur Rahman got his wicket. The first session had been wiped out completely with consistent rains. There was rain prediction for all five days and it has come on the third day.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, 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 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. 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.
