Chittagong: Australia were 225-2 at stumps on day two of the second and final Test against Bangladesh in Chittagong on Tuesday.

Earlier Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon claimed seven wickets to help bowl out the hosts for 305 in the first session.

Earlier, Bangladesh were dismissed for 305 in their first innings. Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim top scored with 68, while Sabbir Rahman contributed 66 for the hosts.
