- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR13.4 Chopped on! And both Australia openers are gone. Length ball outside off from around the stumps. Some extra bounce and Head tries to fend but the ball nips back and takes the inside edge! 52/211.4 edged, gone this time! Mahmud is rewarded. Weatherald's uncertain stay is over. Width outside off, he's looking to drive on the up. A healthy nick and no concerns about this one reaching Litton. Bangladesh have deserved that. 45/118.2 Australia lose their third well before lunch! This time it's taken at second slip by Shanto. Marnus is hanging around, umpire Dharmasena asks the batter to hold on, but the catch looks mighty clean. Length ball outside off and angling in slightly. Labuschagne tries to fend with minimal footwork, but takes the outside edge and lobs towards second slip. It was a low catch and the captain stood up. Did Marnus want to leave it originally? Sure looked like, but he did go for the poke, and that was the result! 61/350.5 he's gone, and it's five for Mahmud Short of a length, Smith gives Mahmud the charge, swats across the line and it flies straight up the air. Litton moves across behind the stumps and settles under it 189/921.6 Bangladesh have a fourth before lunch! Taskin celebrates with glee as short midwicket takes a sharp catch. Short of good length ball angling in and Green reaches out to meet the ball way in front of his body. Bat's face turns in his hand as the delivery clatters the blade, and it pops up for Mushfiqur Rahim positioned in a catching position. Lunch: Australia 74/4 74/436.1 Bowled him! First ball after drinks! What a fiery start. Fullish ball on middle and angling towards off. He tries to fend with minimal footwork but ends up chopping on! 129/538.3 what a delivery! That's a Test match special. You know top of off? That's what this one was: a good length delivery in the corridor of uncertainty that Webster fended down the wrong line 152/644.3 Edged and taken! Mahmud returns, Mahmud takes a third! Length ball outside off, enough width to entice him to cut, but all he does is nick it to Litton! 172/746.5 that's a beautiful delivery - great seam position as this full ball angles across Starc. He tries to reach out and drive with the angle but the delivery does a bit more and instead takes the left hander's outside edge. The change of angle works! Proactive bowling 176/852.6 six for Mahmud! He closes out the innings. A shorter delivery, Lyon goes for the pull and top edges for a simple catch at midwicket.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR8.2 Starc cranks it up, 143.4kph, and delivers a fullish ball angling into Shadman's pads. He tries to close the bat's face and tuck it to the leg side but instead it gets a big leading edge. The ball pops up to the off side and it has been gobbled up at cover point! A solid 20 from Shadman but he'll be disappointed in doing the hard yards and then falling in this manner 36/165.3 nice, Garry! And Tanzid has holed out horribly. Weird shot to play with Starc lurking at long-off and Tanzid is gone against the run of play. Full ball around off and Tanzid tees up to go for a big shot down the ground. Maybe, just maybe, he wanted to hit it straighter down the ground, but he hits it more towards long-off. Starc runs in wearing the floppy hat and takes a tumble while completing the catch. Not an aesthetic catch by any means, but that's the least of Australia's concerns right now. Tanzid walks back soaking in a warm applause 231/339.2 disaster - out for 49! And Hazlewood gets the first wicket of the morning. A bit fuller, slightly wider, and Mominul tries to slap it through the off side. All he gets is a thick outside edge to Carey. Partnership of 102 is now broken, and even though Mominul walks back to some warm applause, that is the opening the hosts were looking for 138/281.4 edged, gone! Hazlewood gets it right. Back of a length outside off, Shanto coming forward, touch of extra bounce with the new ball takes a thick edge high on the bat and it's safely held at second slip. Ends an excellent innings from the captain. Hazlewood turned around quickly to check his feet were okay 297/485.3 edged, another goes! Smith plucking them out. Back of a length outside off, Mushfiqur in two minds, tries to withdraw the bat late and the ball ends up running off the face to Smith who seems somewhat surprised as the ball reaches him 308/684.5 edged, another catch for Smith! Things happening for Australia. Pushed across full outside off, Litton goes for the drive, away from the body, thick edge which is neatly taken in the cordon 306/5133.4 edged, taken! That's 300 for Hazlewood, and five in the innings. Full outside off, Mehidy has a big swing and gets a thick edge through to Carey. Big milestone for Hazlewood and he holds the ball aloft. Excellent return to Test cricket for him 418/9113.5 that looks good, and given! Full and straight, thuds into the pads, Mahmud caught on the crease. He's called the review. Definitely straighter than the previous lbw appeal. Past the inside edge into the back pad. Smashing middle below the bails. 354/7117.6 taken at gully! Hazlewood moves to 299. The change of angle has worked. A good length ball from over the wicket, Taijul goes for a drive and gets a thick edge which Green takes in front of his face 372/8137.6 and that's it! Short of a length, angling into Ebadot, he's staying leg side of it and gets a thin edge to Carey.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR10.2 chopped onto his stumps! And Hasan Mahmud has his eighth wicket of the Test! Head is so disappointed that he turns around, sees the stumps, picks the bail up, puts it up again, and then walks back. The length wasn't short enough to play the cut, and the line was also close to his body. Tried the slashy cut to a ball staying low, and that brings about his downfall. You know the seven stages of grief? That was what Head's reaction looked like 37/21.3 chopped on! Weatherald goes for a duck. Perfect start for Bangladesh. Short of a length, just outside off, Weatherald aiming square into the off side, too close for the shot, takes the bottom edge into the stumps. Not the homecoming Weatherald would have wanted 4/119.6 through him! My goodness, what a moment, and what a lapse from Labuschagne. Full at middle and leg, he's looking to whip this through the on side and just plays all around it. That delivery shouldn't, really, be bowling a set top-order batter 73/337.2 the Tigers are roaring and why not! Miraz bowls from well behind the crease. Lands up as a fullish delivery that Smith reaches out to meet. He bumps it back to the bowler, who makes no mistake diving to his right in a sharp manner! TV commentator goes "complacency from Smith" as Mehidy is mobbed by his team-mates. Is that... is that the end of Australia's chances?! 122/492.5 keeps low, dragged on! That's a bit unfortunate for Green, but Mahmud does it again. Back of a length at off stump, definitely keeps down, takes the toe of the bat into off stump. What a Test for Mahmud, he now has nine in the match 278/959.3 he's done it, with a ripper! Perfect piece of offspin bowling. Angled into middle and off from round the wicket, straightens and takes the edge near the top of the bat as Carey plays forward. Sharp catch by Litton 178/565.6 what a ball! He's done it again. Brilliant stuff. This one has gone on straight, beats the outside edge and takes off stump. This has been an offspin masterclass from Mehdiy. Bangladesh a step closer to history 193/673.6 Miraz with a fourth and Bangladesh inch closer to their dream! A sharp catch at short leg as Miraz bowls a full ball a bit wider outside off. Cummins moves to the off side to defend, but the turn induces the inside edge, and it's a bat-pad chance for the man under the helmet! Shadman pouches it and Australia's captain goes too 207/786.5 edged, gone! Taskin breaks through. Length ball angled across outside off, Starc pushing away from the body without any footwork and it's a thin one to Litton...but, hang on, Starc has reviewed this although is also walking off. Clear noise. And massive spike. Not sure what was going on there, but guess Australia had three reviews left 250/895.1 misses a sweep, given lbw, that's five for Mehidy to wrap things up! Lyon has reviewed but is also walking off. Looked very straight at first glance. No bat or glove involved. Strikes him in from of middle and off, and it's smashing middle halfway up 284/10Extras12 (b 1, lb 6, nb 5)TOTAL284 all out (95.1 Overs, RR: 2.98)Fall of wickets: 1-4 (Jake Weatherald, 1.3 ov), 2-37 (Travis Head, 10.2 ov), 3-73 (Marnus Labuschagne, 19.6 ov), 4-122 (Steven Smith, 37.2 ov), 5-178 (Alex Carey, 59.3 ov), 6-193 (Beau Webster, 65.6 ov), 7-207 (Pat Cummins, 73.6 ov), 8-250 (Mitchell Starc, 86.5 ov), 9-278 (Cameron Green, 92.5 ov), 10-284 (Nathan Lyon, 95.1 ov)
