Australia will be aiming to bat Bangladesh out of the match on the second day of the second Test at Chittagong Divisional Stadium.

In reply to Bangladesh's 197, the tourists are 1-76 with Phil Jaques (38no) and nightwatchman Jason Gillespie (5no) at the crease.

The world No.1 side handed Test's worst nation a cricketing lesson on the opening day with Jason Gillespie (3-11), Shane Warne (3-47) and Stuart MacGill (3-68) sharing the spoils.

Bangladesh coach Dav Whatmore was horrified by his side's first session on the opening day but praised Gillespie's contribution.

"He did OK coming back and looking to re-establish himself in difficult conditions, he did well," Whatmore said.

However Australia has lost two members of its one-day squad in Stuart Clark and Damien Martyn for the three-match series starting in Chittagong in Sunday.

Clark is returning home to be with his heavily pregnant wife while Martyn has been plagued by an elbow injury since the tour of South Africa.

Clark was overlooked for the second Test with Jason Gillespie preferred for the subcontinental conditions.

Martyn was ruled out of the match because of his elbow complaint sustained during his century in Johannesburg against South Africa earlier this month.

The classy right-hander was heading home to have the problem fixed.

It is not known whether any replacements are to be called up.

Meanwhile, At least 10 local media representatives at the second and final test between Bangladesh and Australia were injured in clashes with police, witnesses said on Sunday.

One was being operated on locally for a suspectedhaemorrhage and another was rushed to Dhaka with head injuries.

The journalists may now boycott the rest of the test and the three one-dayers which follow later in the month.

About 20 officers with batons damaged cameras and clashed with around 50 reporters and photographers who were protesting by the side of pitch outside the press box during the lunch break on day one.

They were upset over an incident before play began when a policeman assaulted a photographer in a row over using transport in the restricted stadium vicinity.
