Australia vs Bangladesh 1st Test Day 1 Highlights: Hasan Mahmud's Six-Wicket Haul Helps Bangladesh Dominate

Welcome back for Australia's second batting stint. The pitch has been excellent for batting and the hosts will try to shrug off their first inning struggles and start afresh. Well, it is easier said than done, especially after toiling in the heat for 138 overs. The Tigers have spring in their steps as the players of Bangladesh spread out to take their fielding spots. On the other hand, the Aussie opening pair - Travis Head and Jake Weatherald - take their sweet time to reach the crease. Taskin Ahmed has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Head is on strike, with three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...

... THIRD INNINGS ...

Crucial sessions ahead for survival - The next couple of sessions of the day are set to dictate the entire course of this Test match as Australia start their second innings under immense pressure. Facing a massive 228-run deficit, the hosts need an exceptionally strong response from their top order to dig themselves out of trouble. To put the visitors back on the defensive and set up a competitive target, Australia will, at a bare minimum, need a total of 400 runs in this second dig. The pitch condition and the scoreboard pressure mean their batters must show immense discipline to deny a confident Bangladeshi bowling attack looking for blood. Back in a bit with Australia's batting reply. Stay tuned.

Defiant lower-order partnership frustrates hosts - The defining period of frustration for the Australian team came courtesy of a gritty 7-wicket stand between Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. While a 46-run partnership might seem modest on paper, the duo ground down the bowling attack by consuming 170 balls together. Australia's bowling unit put in a decent shift overall, but ultimately leaked more runs than they'd have liked. To sum up their toil, they turned to as many as eight different bowlers across the innings, Josh Hazlewood emerging as the pick of the attack with an outstanding six-wicket haul, while also completing 300 Test wickets en route. Mitchell Starc chipped in with a couple of scalps, while Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon picked up one apiece.

Tigers roar out loud - Replying to the hosts' first-innings total of 198, the visitors batted in their own merry way, with Tanzid Hasan stealing the spotlight by smashing a magnificent maiden Test century. Najmul Hossain Shanto played a rock-solid hand of 84 to anchor the top order, while Mominul Haque suffered heartbreak when he fell agonizingly short of his half-century on 49. Though Shadman Islam and Mushfiqur Rahim threw away promising starts, this overall batting display has firmly put the Tigers in the driver's seat, with just two batters getting out on single-digit scores.

3.36 am GMT - Advantage Bangladesh - It's a fairly rare sight to see Australia conceding a lead of 220 or more in Test cricket. In the recent past at least, that simply hasn't happened. But a number nine ranked Test nation, Bangladesh, has brought the Aussies, the number one ranked team in Test cricket, dare we say, on their knees.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! 6-wicket haul for Josh Hazlewood and BANGLADESH ARE BOWLED OUT ON 426 RUNS! They lead by 228 runs.
