Australia vs Bangladesh LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 3 Live Updates

Darwin debacle loading? Bangladesh's lower order has shown remarkable grit today, more than happy to simply dig in and support Miraz at the other end. First it was Mahmud doing the honours, and now it's Taskin taking over, batting fantastically to frustrate the Australians even further. Miraz, in particular, has been thoroughly impressive, still grinding away on 65. And every single run Bangladesh add from here on will only pile further misery onto an Australian side that's fast running out of answers. Will they be able to take the two remaining wickets quickly into the afternoon session, or is there still more left to toil in the heat? We shall find out as the post-Lunch session will begin at 3.10 am GMT. But since the first session ended four to five minutes late, there might be a bit of a delay as well. So do stick around with us.

Discipline bites back, then bites the tongue - Australia bowled with far greater control today, especially in the first hour, refusing to let the visitors settle by sticking to tight lines and lengths. The seventh-wicket stand between Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Hasan Mahmud tested their patience for around 30 overs before Hazlewood finally broke through, reducing Bangladesh from 354 for 6 to 372 for 8, a collective effort built on discipline all round. But just when Australia sensed a chance to bundle the tourists out for under 400, though, Mehidy's batting smarts, combined with a couple of let-offs along the way, took the wind clean out of their sails. Having closed out day two with a dropped catch from Cameron Green off the very last ball, Australia went and dropped two more this morning. This time it was Steve Smith, shockingly, spilling a straightforward sitter, and Travis Head fumbling a tough, full-pelt chance of his own.

Wearing down old legs - Bangladesh's tactic proved a smart one. Grinding out those extra overs in the field wasn't just about frustrating the bowlers in the moment, it was a longer game. Keeping Australia's attack, several of whom aren't exactly spring chickens anymore, out there that long meant fatigue began creeping into both the legs and the lengths. Bangladesh weren't scoring at a rapid clip, but every extra over in the field looked like an investment that could pay dividends later in this Test.

2.35 am GMT - Insult to injury - That's precisely what Bangladesh have unleashed on the Australians, with yet another session going emphatically the visitors' way. And that last ball six from Mehidy just piles on the pain for the hosts, sending them into the interval with nothing but humble pie to dine on. Who could have predicted Bangladesh's tail surviving an entire session today? Who could have predicted them batting 133 overs out here in Darwin? Both have happened, and the underdogs have stretched their lead to 219, taking the game far away from Australia's reach.

SIX! Miraz takes this bouncer on and clears the fence with relative ease. Bumper, around leg, Mehidy Hasan Miraz comes inside the line of the ball and hooks this over the fielder at fine leg for a biggie to end the session. LUNCH ON DAY 3.

Short and around off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz backs away and looks for a cut but misses as the ball bounces over his bat.

Back of a length, around middle and leg, Mehidy Hasan Miraz gets it edged off the inside edge towards deep square leg and doesn't take the run.

Bouncer, around off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz arches back and leaves it.

Hard length, around off, Miraz guides this to deep third for no run.

Yorker, on off, Miraz jams it out.

Last over before Lunch. Cameron Green will bowl that. Can he produce a wicket?

Good length, down the leg side. Taskin doesn't bother poking at it.

Back of a length, on the pads, Miraz helps this to fine leg and rotates the strike.

Good length, on off, Miraz dabs this to backward point for no run.

Another deceptive off cutter, and this one's even tighter to the off stump than the previous one. Full and just outside off, Miraz goes to fend it away, but the ball beats the outside edge completely.

Cutter, around off, Mehidy Hasan Miraz looks to block this off his back foot but misses.

Tap and run. Hard length, on off, Taskin Ahmed just places this in front of covers and runs a single.

Pat Cummins (26-4-74-1) returns and replaces Nathan Lyon. With 5 minutes on the clock for Lunch, think a couple of overs will be squeezed in.

Short again, on leg, Mehidy Hasan Miraz steps across and leaves it. Miraz was settling for a hook but the ball was too close for it.

Bumper, on leg, Mehidy Hasan Miraz sits underneath it.
