Bangladesh's batting lineup crumbled on day two of the second test against Australia at Mackay on Sunday, leaving the team in a precarious position heading into the final session. At the tea interval, the visitors had managed only 95 runs for the loss of eight wickets, a concerning tally that underscored their struggles against the Australian bowling attack. With just two recognized batsmen remaining at the crease, Bangladesh faced the prospect of being forced to follow on unless they could close the 51-run deficit in the final innings. The collapse represented a significant reversal from the first innings, as Australia's bowlers continued to exploit conditions at the venue. The Tigers' batting woes left their bowlers with little margin for error in what was shaping as a difficult test match for the touring side.
