Australia defeats Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs in Mackay

Australia has wrapped up a dominant victory over Bangladesh inside two days at Mackay's Harrup Park by an innings and 51 runs.

Mitchell Starc was again the destroyer, taking 4-39 to give him 10-51 for the match, his fourth-career 10-wicket match haul in Tests.

The result means the series is tied 1-1 after Bangladesh's historic victory in Darwin last week.

After 18 wickets fell on the first day there was always a possibility that Mackay's Test match debut would be a brief one.

And so it proved, with Shoriful Islam setting the tone with a brilliant inswinging yorker to dismiss Cameron Green for 67.

Australia had resumed on 8-165, with Green and Nathan Lyon adding 21 before Shoriful's phenomenal delivery, which gave him a seventh wicket of the match.

Lyon added 22 to his not-out score overnight, and ended the innings unbeaten on 32 after Josh Hazlewood skied Taijul Islam to Shadman Islam at midwicket.

That gave Australia a total of 210, a lead of 146 at the change of innings.

And after an hour of the Bangladesh innings, the hopes of the tourists getting Australia to bat again already looked faint.

Starc took two in consecutive balls in his second over to dismiss Shadman Islam (1) and Mominul Haque (0).

Tanzid Hasan (9) also fell before lunch, pulling Cummins to Starc at fine leg, leaving Bangladesh 3-39 at lunch.

After the break, Bangladesh showed little of the resilience and patience that characterised their Darwin display, with skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto throwing his wicket away by chipping Lyon down Starc's throat at long off for 31.

Litton Das picked up his third duck for the series by edging Starc to Webster at third slip, before Pat Cummins prised out Mehidy Hasan Miraz (1) and Hasan Mahmud (2) in consecutive overs.

Starc grabbed his 10th for the match just before tea, bowling Taijul Islam for 7.

After tea, Australia made short work of the last two wickets, Nathan Lyon taking two in four balls to seal the victory and ensure Bangladesh failed to reach 100 in either of their two innings for the first time in a Test match.

It was most fitting that the final wicket was caught by Starc, who was given player of the match and series honours, as the 36-year-old continues his career-best form.
