Player Of The Match
  • 78.5

    OUT! Caught. Ashton Agar to Shafiul Islam. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid on, by Hazlewood. Floated up by Agar again, Shafiul cannot help himself, and tries to launch it out the ground. The ball comes off the bottom of the bat and Hazlewood pouches a steepler at mid on.

    A decent total by Bangladesh, a score of over 300 would have put them ahead in the game though. Tamim and Shakib with the two standout innings'. Lyon, Agar and Cummins with three a piece. A tricky little spell coming up for Australia to bat out to end the day.

Shafiul carves it straight to Cummins at backward point, who dives over the ball and lets it through for four more.

  • 78.1

    FOUR! Ashton Agar to Shafiul Islam. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot Slog, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. A dirty hoick across the line but he connects well. A proper number ten shot. Hacked to the mid wicket fence.

  • 75.2

    OUT! L.B.W. Nathan Lyon to Taijul Islam. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. This innings is swiftly coming to a close. Taijul plays for some turn, there isn't any on this occasion, and is trapped right in front. Finger goes up, and Bangladesh are nine down.

  • 75.1

    Nathan Lyon to Taijul Islam. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, to silly point for no runs, fielded by Handscomb.

  • 74.3

    OUT! L.B.W. NOT OUT changed by umpire to OUT after REFERRAL. Ashton Agar to Nasir Hossain. Stock length ball, off stump down the track defending, bat-pad. Brilliant review by Australia! Nasir skips down the wicket, defending with bat and pad together. A couple of noises, but it looks as though it hit the pad first. A massive appeal is turned down, followed by an instant review. Indeed it was pad first. Line looks good, and even though he is down the pitch, the ball was hitting the top of the stumps.

  • 74.2

    Ashton Agar to Nasir Hossain. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the back foot, Left to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Wade.

  • 74.1

  • 74.5

    OUT! Caught. Shakib Al Hasan to Josh Hazlewood. Stock length ball, outside off stump on the back foot working, mis-timed to short leg, by Kayes.

    Shakib wraps up the innings and gets himself five wickets in the process. Imrul Kayes took a smart catch at short leg with the ball travelling. Bangladesh take a 43 run lead into their second innings which could prove crucial on this surface. It could have been more though if they had taken their chances but credit has to go to Agar and Cummins for the partnership they put on. Bangladesh will be looking to increase their lead past 100 tonight with not many wickets down.

    Mehedi Hasan c Usman Khawaja b Nathan Lyon 26 (35)

    OUT! Caught. Nathan Lyon to Mehedi Hasan. Off break length ball, outside off stump down the track Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, by Khawaja. Lyon bags his sixth. Mehedi advances down, looking for some quick runs while batting with the number eleven. Not smart shot selection though. He picks the longest boundary, and cannot get the power behind it to clear the ropes. Khawaja gobbles it up in the deep to finish off the innings.

    So Australia require 265 runs to win the match, and they have plenty of time to do so. However, 30 wickets have fallen inside three days, so a tough task for the visitors.

    OUT! Caught. Nathan Lyon to Shafiul Islam. Off break length ball, off stump on the back foot working, inside edge to short leg, by Handscomb. Lyon gets his five for now.

  • 77.4

    SIX! Nathan Lyon to Shafiul Islam. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, well timed in the air under control over long on for 6 runs. A big wind back and clubbed over the long on boundary for a maximum! Just about cleared the man back on the edge of the rope.

  • 74.4

    APPEAL! Ashton Agar to Mehedi Hasan. Stock ball yorker, off stump on the front foot driving, thick edge to slips for no runs, by Smith, appeal made for Caught.

  • 70.5

    OUT! L.B.W. Taijul Islam to Josh Hazlewood. Stock length ball, off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. There is the magical moment for Bangladesh. Taijul switches to round the wicket, rags it back into Hazlewood, and traps him plumb in front.

    An epic Test Match over the last three and a half days. The hosts have earned their first ever Test victory over Australia, so history made in Dhaka. Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal the standout players, but spare a thought to David Warner. He produced one of the great hundreds to give Australia half a chance. In the end, the spin of the Tigers was too much, and it puts them 1-0 up in the two match series.
