Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live coverage of the first Test between Bangladesh and Australia at Mirpur. I am Ayush Gupta and I will be providing with the live updates and some nice tweets from the Twitter world. The teams are locking horns in the longest format after 11 long years and a result is likely. Nathan Lyon staged an Australian comeback in a Test majorly dominated by Bangladesh. FULL CRICKET SCORECARD: Bangladesh vs Australia 2017, 1st Test at Dhaka

Electing to bat, Bangladesh put up 260, courtesy resilient knocks from Tamim Iqbal (71) and Shakib Al Hasan (84). Both the Bangladeshi stalwarts made their 50th Test memorable with Shakib picking a five-for to dismiss Australia for 217 and Tamim adding 78 in the second innings. However, it was Lyon (6 for 82) who had the final say on Day Three, putting Australia back on track by skittling out the hosts for 221. Set a target of 265, Australia were reduced to 28 for 2 in the 10th over with the spin-twin Shakib and Mehedi Hasan claiming a wicket apiece.

But there was no stopping David Warner, who found his mojo back and struck a counterattacking 96-ball 75 and remained unbeaten with skipper Steven Smith (25). At 109 for 2, Australia are firmly placed in a favourable position with two of their best batters in the crease. However, a few wickets could well change the equation. West Indies seemingly pulled off an impossible by beating England by 4 wickets to win the Leeds Test, it may well be Bangladesh’s day today. All in all, we have a match in hands.
