Najmul Hossain Shanto c Steven Smith b Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood to Najmul Hossain Shanto, out Caught by Steven Smith!! The second new ball brings in an instant reward for Hazlewood! Shanto misses out on a hundred but it has been a terrific knock from the Bangladesh skipper nonetheless. A slightly scrambled seam length delivery just outside off, pitches and holds its line. Shanto is caught in the crease as he pokes at it and gets a thick outside edge. Smith at second slip takes a comfortable waist high catch to his left.
