Though Australia expected a smooth response, Bangladesh fought back brilliantly with the ball. Shoriful Islam spearheaded the fightback, exploiting persistent movement off the pitch to capture a superb six-wicket haul. Most of the Australian lineup struggled to settle, but Steve Smith offered steady support before Cameron Green took control. Green anchored the innings with a fine half-century, combining with the lower order to push Australia's lead past 100. With a solid advantage in hand, Australia are in a strong position heading into Day 2. Do join us tomorrow and hope you have enjoyed our coverage. Until then it's goodbye from all of us here...
17:36 Local Time, 07:36 GMT, 13:06 IST: Australia holds a 101-run lead at the close of an eventful Day 1, finishing at 165/8 after a wild 18-wicket opening day. After winning the toss and electing to bowl, Australia's attack delivered a ruthless performance, rolling Bangladesh over for just 64. Mitchell Starc ignited the collapse by taking a wicket off the very first ball and went on to claim a stunning 6/12, completing his five-wicket haul inside the first 45 minutes of play. While Bangladesh's top order surrendered meekly to early seam and swing, brief resistance from the tail pushed them past 50 to avoid their lowest-ever Test total.
