CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh \u2014 \u00a0Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon left Bangladesh struggling at 154-8 on Thursday, claiming his third straight five-for on the fourth day of the second test.<\/p>\n

With two wickets remaining, Bangladesh’s lead is up to 82 as Lyon returned figures of 5-58 after his 7-94 in the first innings.<\/p>\n

Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim and Sabbir Rahman combined for 54 runs for the sixth wicket before Lyon left Bangladesh at 43-5.<\/p>\n

As the partnership appeared to grow with confidence, fast bowler Pat Cummins took the wicket of Sabbir, who played an injudicious shot to be stumped on 22.<\/p>\n

Sabbir hit two boundaries in his 59-ball knock.<\/p>\n

The real blow came when Rahim fended a delivery from Cummins to get a healthy edge. Rahim made 31 off 103 with one boundary.<\/p>\n

Lyon then completed his second five-for of the test, dismissing Mominul Hauqe for 29. Hauqe tried a sweep shot against the turn and top-edged to Cummins at deep backward square.<\/p>\n

Mehidy Hasan and Taijul Islam were batting on 13 and 2, respectively, at the second interval.<\/p>\n

Lyon, however, became the second Australian off-spinner to collect two 10-wicket hauls in his career after Hugh Trumble, who reached that milestone in 1902 with back-to-back 10-wicket totals in that year’s Ashes series.<\/p>\n

Lyon has claimed 21 wickets in the series and surpassed J.J. Ferris’ mark from the two-test 1887 Ashes series, when Ferris picked up 18 wickets in the first two matches of his international career.<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday, Australia failed to add to its overnight total and faced only nine balls to be all out for 377 in its first innings, leading by 72 runs.<\/p>\n

In the second over, Mustafizur Rahman dismissed Lyon, who edged a ball to first slip. Rahman finished with 4-84.<\/p>\n

Opener David Warner led the Australians with 123, his second straight century in the series. Peter Handscomb scored 82 while captain Steve Smith added 58.<\/p>\n

Australia lost the first test in Dhaka by 20 runs.<\/p>\n
