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.

Hasan loops it up around middle, Lyon once again opts for the sweep shot. Gets a bit of glove on it as the ball lobs over the keeper. Good anticipation shown there by Sarkar.

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...
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.

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.

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.

Fails to hit it and gets rapped straight on the pads. The players start appealing and umpire Aleem Dar raises his finger up. Maxwell asks his partner to opt for the review and he does so.

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 hosts will be backing their bowlers to pick up quick wickets and get the game back in their favour as a wicket can turn the tide. 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.
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.
