Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Australia secured a commanding innings and 51 run victory over Bangladesh in the second Test in Mackay on Sunday. The win levels the two game series at 1 to 1 after Bangladesh won the first Test in Darwin by nine wickets. Mitchell Starc led the Australian attack with match figures of 10 for 51, taking six wickets for 12 runs in the first innings and four for 39 in the second. Pat Cummins contributed 3 for 10 and Nathan Lyon took 3 for 25 to bowl Bangladesh out for 95 in their second innings. Bangladesh had previously been bowled out for 64 in their first innings.
Australia scored 210 in their first innings, with Cameron Green scoring 67. Bangladesh bowler Shoriful Islam claimed 7 for 48, which is the best figures from a Bangladeshi bowler in an away Test. Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 31 before being dismissed by Lyon. The match concluded on day two after Lyon took the final two wickets shortly after the tea break.
