Drinks! Australia are en route to another rebuilding after they lost their skipper Inglis right after the field restrictions were lifted. Connolly looks to have his eye in, and Carey is growing in confidence at the other end. There is still decent batting left to come, but this partnership carries real weight. A collapse from here could put the game beyond them, and the two will know they need to bat as long as possible to keep Australia in the hunt. For now, Bangladesh are still on top and a wicket or two will really put them far ahead of the tourists. Mehidy Hasan Miraz to continue after the hydration break. 2-0-12-0 so far.
