COMMENTARY

So, twice in two days we have seen the underdog teams coming out on top. If it was West Indies toppling the Englishmen last night, then it's Bangladesh today who have surprised the world. They have now won a Test match against 5 Test playing nations - Zimbabwe, West Indies, Sri Lanka, England, and now Australia. They continue to rise and the near future looks bright for them. These two sides will meet again for the second Test in Chittagong on September 4, at 1000 local (0400 GMT). Can the hosts create another history by winning the series? Or will Australia come back hard to level it? We shall find out. Till then, Adios! Cheers!
Man of the Match, Shakib Al Hasan (translated from Bengali) is really delighted to contribute for his side. Gives a big round of applause to the crowd that came in huge numbers to support them. Tells us about the incident that happened last night, how his wife showed immense confidence in him while he was the one who felt that they won't be able to beat Australia today.
Mushfiqur Rahim says that it is a great feeling beating Australia. Recalls that they lost the first Test against England but came back stronger to beat them in the second. Credits the boys for playing really well. Mentions that their performances in the home conditions have been consistent. Applauds the performances of Shakib and Tamim in the first innings for laying the platform for them. Feels that there is a lot of room for improvement. Reckons that the wicket was a tough one to bat on. Praises his bowlers for getting 8 wickets on the final day. Also thanks the crowd for turning out in huge numbers.
Steven Smith says that it was a great Test match. Credits Bangladesh for playing very well. Adds that the partnership between Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan laid the platform for the hosts. Mentions that they did well to reach 240 on a track like this. Lauds his tail for batting brilliantly and trying really hard. Adds that they won't give any excuses and also mentions that they practiced well. Feels that the wicket turned a lot more compared to the practice wickets. Praises Warner for scoring a century on this tough wicket. Ends by saying that they were never able to adjust to the conditions and the pitch. Emphasizes on the fact that they are looking forward to the next game.
The home side got a lead of 43 runs and once again the veteran opener, Tamim Iqbal delivered for his side. Had it not been for Nathan Lyon's 6-fer, Australia would have had a challenge even more steeper. They kept the hosts to 265 and after losing two quick wickets early yesterday, they still were pretty much into the contest until their weakness against the spin prevailed and that ultimately led to their downfall. Stay tuned as the presentation is coming up in a short while...
The Bangladeshi spinners kept the pressure on even when Pat Cummins was threatening to take his team over the line. In the end, Australia fell short by 20 runs and now find themselves 0-1 down in the series. Earlier in the game, Bangladesh won a good toss but were rocked early at 10-3 on day 1. They recovered well through a 155-run stand between Tamim and Shakib which helped them to get 260 on the board. Australia's reply was pretty ordinary with the bat but the way their tail bailed them out is something that they will be happy about.
Australia came into day 4, requiring 156 to win with their two set batsmen out in the middle. David Warner and Steven Smith did the job commendably in the first hour as the former registered his ton and all was rosy for the visitors until the no. 1 all-rounder in the world stepped on the gas. Yes, Shakib Al Hasan turned the match upside down by removing Warner and from thereon the men from Down Under got exposed. They succumbed to pressure, kept losing wickets in clusters and thereby gave an opening to the hosts.
Bangladesh have pulled off their first ever Test win against the mighty Aussies. It's their greatest achievement and their expressions say it all. The packed Dhaka crowd is screaming at the top of their voices, their PM is all smiles in the stands with the national flag in her hand. Rahim leads the way. Well done, Bangla Tigers! They have proved yet again, they aren't the underdogs anymore, especially in their own den.

Shakib Al Hasan to Glenn Maxwell, out, OUT! Knocked him over! Back-to-back 5-fers! 10-wicket haul for him in the match for the second time in his career and Shakib Al Hasan is leading from the front here. The crowd erupts in joy. Would you believe Maxwell is going first ball after lunch. Shakib fires it around off, it straightens up a touch and stays really low. Glenn Maxwell camps back to hit it through the line but is undone by the low bounce. The ball strikes the off pole and the all-rounder is off for a celebratory run. Bangladesh are just 2 wickets away from a win.
Welcome back for what could be the final session of this Test. Australia find themselves in a precarious position now and it now lies on how Maxwell goes about his business. Will he counter-attack? Or will we see the hosts' spinners run through the lower order? It promises to be an action-packed session. Shakib Al Hasan to kick off proceedings. A slip and short leg in place. Let's play...
... Day 4, Session 2...
Taijul Islam also supported the world number 1 all-rounder by picking up two crucial wickets. Currently Maxwell and Cummins (the last recognized pair) are battling it out in the middle and the Aussies will hope that they can see their side through. With Cricket Australia confirming that Hazlewood can bat, the visitors have another wicket up their sleeve. Bangladesh on the other hand will look to keep things simple and attack the stumps to pick up the remaining three wickets. Effectively the final session awaits.
The crucial wicket of Warner has changed the course of the game. He was the difference between the two sides yesterday and once he departed after scoring a ton, the visitors fell apart losing 5 wickets for 37 runs. The first hour of play totally belonged to the Aussies where for a moment it seemed like Warner and Smith would guide their team over the line. But Shakib Al Hasan had different plans altogether. He weaved his magic and ended up picking 4 crucial wickets to dent the momentum that the Aussies had.
56.6
Taijul Islam to Pat Cummins, no run, Spinning away from around middle, Cummins fails to put his bat to ball. So much turn on this occasion that the ball deflects off Rahim's gloves. The second slip fielder comes forward and catches the ball. The players appeal for a catch but the umpire is not interested. He instead calls for LUNCH ON DAY 4!
Umbrella field for Cummins! Can he survive the final ball before lunch?
56.5
Taijul Islam to Pat Cummins, no run, NOT OUT! The on-field call stays! Floats this one around off, turns away a touch after pitching. Cummins gets forward and tries to defend it. Gets beaten by the away spin and is hit flush on his back pad. The players appeal for a long time but the umpire stays put. Rahim asks his bowler and the latter convinces him to go for the review. Ultra Edge shows that there was daylight between bat and pad. Ball Tracker shows that it was pitched around off, impact a bit outside off so the umpire's call stays. Cummins survives and Bangladesh lose a review in this process.
After thinking for a long time, Taijul Islam somehow convinces Rahim to opt for the review against Cummins for LBW.

Australia have lost 4 wickets in less than 4 overs only scoring 34 runs. They have exhausted all their reviews now. Bangladesh are in pole position now.

The first hour should be crucial and will definitely determine the course of the game. Will the Kangaroos chase down the total or can the Tigers pick up the remaining wickets to pull off their first ever Test win against Australia? Join us in a while for the live action.
Hello and a warm welcome to the fourth day of the 1st Test between Bangladesh and Australia. The visitors have pulled things back and made the contest even courtesy a sublime knock from Warner. If the southpaw and Smith continue to dig in like yesterday, it will be Australia's game to lose. 156 runs on this Mirpur track will be a really dodgy affair.
... Day 4, Session 1 ...
Story of day 4 - 156 runs still required with 8 wickets in hand and two set batsmen out in the middle. Will the men from Down Under apply themselves and prove the world that they can play spin? Or will we see Bangladesh pull off a historic win? Join us tomorrow at 1000 local (0400 GMT) for what could be the final day of this Test. Until next time, it's goodbye from us. Cheers!
Skipper Smith survived an early scare when he was on a golden duck and then got a reprieve at short leg too but since then he never looked back. He continued to march on and stitched an unbeaten 81-run stand with the southpaw. Bangladesh threw all they had at the current pair but just couldn't break this stand. Still all is not lost for them, if they manage to dismiss this pair early tomorrow, who would know this Test can turn upside down. But for that, they need to stay patient and not let the tourists run away with the game.
Safe to say, Australia are pretty much into this. The whole of their dressing room is up on its feet to laud the efforts shown by their two senior men - David Warner and Steven Smith. After bundling out Bangladesh for 221, courtesy a 6-fer from Lyon, they had their task cut out. Chasing 265 on such a deck, the visitors lost Renshaw early. Khawaja's poor run only made the matters worse but it was Warner who didn't let the hosts' spinners dictate terms. He came out with intent and it has paid off pleasingly well as he scored an unbeaten 75 to set the tone.

COMMENTARY

End of over

BAN221 (79.3 Ovs)

There are still 9 overs to go in the day and if at all they can manage to pick up a wicket or two, you never know they can drag the momentum back towards them. Stay tuned as the second innings is about to get underway...
If not for the experienced duo of Shakib and Tamim, the hosts would have been bowled out pretty early than this. The experienced pair guided their side through the turbulent tides by stitching a vital 155-run stand. Both missed out on their centuries but have done the job their side was hoping for.
After two competitive sessions in the day, Bangladesh have crumbled as they lost the plot towards the end. Losing last 4 wickets for just 20 runs would have given the upper hand to the Aussies. After Pat Cummins set the tone for them early this morning, the spin duo did the cleaning work towards the end and have managed to restrict the hosts from reaching the 300-run mark.

Ashton Agar to Nasir Hossain, out, OUT! It's pad first! The on-field call has to be overturned! What a review from the Aussies. Agar drifts it around off, it skids on as Hossain lunges forward to defend it by keeping his bat and pad together. Ashton Agar is confident and appeals long and hard for it. Umpire Nigel Llong shakes his head. Agar feels it's pad first and hence convinces his skipper to take the review. Ultra Edge confirms it is pad first and then the bat. After that, the Ball Tracker shows three reds. That's it for Hossain as he continues to walk back.
Australia have referred an LBW appeal against Nasir Hossain. Is it bat or pad first?

Welcome back for the final session. Mushfiqur Rahim will take strike against Ashton Agar.
... Day 1, Session 3 ...
The hosts will again have to start from scratch whereas the Aussies would be looking to keep chipping away at the wickets as they have gotten the opening they needed. Anything near to 300 will be a challenging total on this surface. Let's wait and see what the final session has in store. Join us shortly for that.
A session shared by both the teams but Bangladesh will be a bit happier of the two. Shakib and Iqbal started off really well and negotiated the first hour after lunch with comfort, scoring their respective fifties. But the drinks break turned the tide and Maxwell soon got into the act and dismissed Tamim. Lyon too joined the party later and got the back of Shakib who was looking really settled in the middle as he didn't allow the all-rounder to reach the three-figure mark.

Welcome back for the post-lunch session. Australia will be hoping to start in a similar manner as in the morning, while the hosts will want the two batsmen out there in the middle to continue for as long as possible. Tamim Iqbal to face Ashton Agar first up. A slip and a short leg in place. Here we go...
... Day 1, Session 2 ...
The track is such that neither side can be counted out for the moment. The deck is spitting venom and batting will keep on getting tougher. Australia will not be too disappointed with the run rate and will concentrate more on bowling in the right areas. The spinners don't have any wickets to show but they have bowled well. With two left-handers batting, might not be a bad idea to just try out Maxwell for a bit. Join us back at 1240 local (0640 GMT) for the second session.
The highly consistent Tamim Iqbal, who was watching partners disappear within the blink of an eye, was joined by the number 1 all-rounder, Shakib Al Hasan. Both are playing their 50th Test and have not disappointed so far. Tamim has been more cautious of the two while Shakib has been flirting with danger, playing his shots. However, they have come off and the result is that the home side has recovered from a precarious position to one of stability with the current stand reading 86.
An entertaining session of cricket! It was Australia in the first hour, as they started the day in a tremendous manner. Cummins picked up three quick wickets, thanks to a couple of loose shots. At 10/3, it seemed like an age-old story with visitors coming in Bangladesh and putting them in trouble. But it was not to be.

Mushfiqur Rahim says that he will bat first. Reckons that the wicket looks good so they will look to optimize in the first couple of days. Also mentions that they beat England here so they are confident to face the Aussies.
Pitch Report - Ed Rainsford doing the pitch report says that still after so much rain in Dhaka, the pitch looks dry. Reckons that the wicket will deteriorate quickly but it will be good for batting initially.
TOSS - BANGLADESH WIN THE TOSS AND OPT TO BAT! It is the 50th Test for the Bangladesh veterans - Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal.
Hello and a warm welcome to the coverage for the first Test between Bangladesh and Australia at Mirpur. This has been a much-awaited contest and it is finally taking place. Australia, who are short of match practice will hope to start the series on a high. Bangladesh on the other hand will look to make things difficult for the visitors as the pitch is expected to turn square from the start itself. Rain is a big concern here and we hope it stays away. Stay tuned for the toss.

End of over

BAN221 (79.3 Ovs)

Bangladesh have got a handy lead on a rank turner and they would look to swell it somewhere close to 250. Anything near that or above it, could very well take them close to victory. Can they? Or will we see an inspirational bowling display from the Aussies? Join us shortly to find out what happens next...
So Bangladesh have finally managed to wrap things up. Shakib Al Hasan was the best of the lot as the all-rounder once again displayed a classical performance, picking up a 5-fer. They could have had done that early but it wasn't meant to be. After Renshaw and Handscomb did the steadying job with their 69-run stand, Cummins and Agar then frustrated the hosts by digging it out there. In the process they stitched another crucial 49-run stand which helped them reduce the deficit under 50 in the end.

Well done, lad. It's all over for Australia. THEY ARE BOWLED OUT FOR 217, TRAILING BY 43 RUNS!

UPDATE 1504 local - We should have started the final session of the day by now but seems like the dark clouds have opened up. A bit of a delay here...
... Day 2, Session 3 ...
Australia will be hoping that these two can continue for as long as possible.

... Day 2, session 2...
Australia are still 137 runs behind and have 4 wickets in hand. Maxwell and Wade are out there and one would feel the former should start to counter-attack and reduce the deficit to as low as possible. Considering the nature of the wicket, any lead close to 100 would be an icing on the cake for the Tigers. Another intriguing session awaits. Do join us shortly to catch all the action from the second session...
This session - 27 overs, 105 runs and 3 wickets! That's the session summary. Bangladesh came out with intent and removed Steven Smith very early this morning.

It's time to get underway then. The overnight batsmen make their way out to the middle along with the Bangladesh players. Mehedi Hasan to bowl first up to Matt Renshaw. A slip, short leg and a silly point in place. Here we go...
PITCH REPORT - Athar Ali Khan doing the pitch report says the rough is opening up. Adds apart from the spinners, Mustafizur Rahman would be the key for Bangladesh. Further says if he can pitch the ball in the right areas, it will become all too difficult for the batsmen. Ends by saying, yesterday it was tough, today and for the days to come it will only get tougher.
Remember, Steven Smith scored a classic ton against India in Pune earlier this year on a similar kind of wicket and he would look to replicate something like that again. The hosts would be all charged up and raring to go in with the crowd right behind them. An important update - the weather looks awesome to kick off proceedings for the day and let's hope it remains the same throughout. Stay tuned as the action isn't far away.
Hello and a warm welcome for day 2 of this first Test between Bangladesh and Australia. The hosts have a firm grip on this match as they have scalped 3 quick wickets to dent the momentum that the Aussies had after the first innings. With the pitch expected to deteriorate further, it's safe to say that the Aussies have their task cut out. A lot of hopes shall be pinned on skipper Smith if they are to evade from this situation.
... Day 2, Session 1 ...
Renshaw and Smith are out in the middle and it will require a huge effort from these two to bail their side out of the early trouble. The hosts are sitting pretty on top and their spinners would be licking their lips to go out and deliver. The only worry is about the weather which doesn't look promising for the days to come. Let's hope it holds up and we get to witness a great encounter between these two sides. Join us tomorrow at 1000 local (0400 GMT) to catch all the action, saying again, weather permitting. Until then, it's goodbye and take care. Cheers!
Phew! What a session it turned out to be. Bangladesh have come out roaring with the cherry and have posed a serious threat to the mighty Aussies. After getting bundled out for 260, courtesy a massive 155-run stand between Tamim and Shakib, they have not let the visitors settle down. Rahim didn't waste anytime in bringing his spinners on, on a wicket that is turning, bouncing, staying low and causing all sorts of trouble for the batsmen. Mehedi Hasan was the first one to take the wicket and after that it seemed like a procession. Khawaja was dismissed via an unnecessary run out while nightwatchman, Nathan Lyon couldn't do the job he was sent for.

Shakib Al Hasan to Usman Khawaja, out, OUT! Run Out! The Bangla crowd is screaming at the top of their voices! This is a real waste of a wicket. Shakib floats it up around off, Khawaja comes forward to defend but the ball goes off the gloves through the vacant silly point region. Usman sets off for a run without even looking at his partner. Rahim charges towards the ball and now Renshaw sends him back. The former throws the ball at the stumps at his end where Soumya Sarkar collects the ball, dives and manages to dislodge the bails in the second attempt as Khawaja puts in a dive. They appeal and it's taken upstairs. Replays find Khawaja short of his ground. Australia in trouble.

A flatter delivery, sliding in, David Warner goes back to defend but misses and wears it on the back pad. Once again a loud appeal and once again it's ruled out by the umpire. Replays confirm there was no bat involved and the Ball Tracker shows it's in line and would have gone on to clip the leg stump. So, the umpire's call stays. Mehedi Hasan draws first blood.

Warner is given out LBW! But he is very quick to review it. Seems pretty confident.
