An equivalent is:
echo "first.second.third" |awk -F. '{print $2}'
I would typically use awk for stuff like this, but it seems that cut is a little faster/lighter than awk. I suppose that's why it was created...

Neither does Bash, but fortunately there is a wealth of commandline tools in *nix systems to accomodate your needs. There is always the option of using Cygwin in Windows, though, on which you can apparently add all your favorite tools familiar to Linux users.
