ReutersNathan Lyon claimed yesterday 6-60 to bowl Australia to a series-equalling seven-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the second and final Test. The 29-year-old off-spinner completed a career-best match haul of 13-154 to help bundle out the hosts for 157 on day four at Chittagong’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. Chasing 86 for victory, Australia had a mini-collapse of their own, losing openers David Warner and Matt Renshaw and captain Steve Smith and before reaching 50. Earlier, Australia were not able to add to their overnight score as Lyon fell for a duck and were all out for 377, a first-innings lead of 72. Paceman Pat Cummins drew first blood for the tourists by dismissing opener Soumya Sarkar before Lyon’s three-wicket burst in the morning session unhinged the home side.
