He was the next-to-last batter dismissed, advancing at Hasan before top-edging a catch to wicketkeeper Litton Das.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The day had started with Australia bringing together their first-choice bowling attack. Captain Pat Cummins returned to lead an attack featuring Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon, known as Australia&#8217;s Big Four.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Weatherald, who was playing in front of a home crowd in Darwin, never settled and was caught after swiping at Hasan. Head was then bowled after chopping a delivery from around the wicket onto his stumps.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Ebadot dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for one, while Smith was dropped at third slip early in his innings. <!-- -->Bangladesh reduced Australia to 74-4 by lunch after Cameron Green was dismissed for 13.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Ebadot removed Alex Carey for 19 after lunch, before Taskin bowled Beau Webster for 12. Hasan then dismissed Cummins for nine and Starc for one before completing his six-wicket haul with the wickets of Smith and Lyon.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Australia&#8217;s bowlers, meanwhile, managed only one Bangladesh wicket before stumps.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Shadman Islam made 20 before he edged Starc and was caught by Lyon at cover point, leaving Bangladesh at 36-1.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Mominal Haque, on 35, and Tanzid Hasan, on 32, remained unbeaten at the close and shared a 60-run partnership.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Smith said Australia&#8217;s lack of recent Test cricket had contributed to their slow start. The team had not played a Test for eight months.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>\u201cIt can take some time to get into it on occasions,\u201d he said. Batting in the first session \u201cwasn&#8217;t easy, wasn&#8217;t a heap of pace on the ball, and it was tacky and seaming around a bit.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/>The pitch had appeared different to Australia on match day, Smith said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>\u201cThe bowlers looked at the wicket yesterday and they said it was rock hard, and then today when we rocked up with a bit of dew on the ground, it felt softer,\u201d Smith added. \u201cSo hopefully the same tomorrow and the ball starts talking a bit in the morning.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>The two-Test series in Australia&#8217;s Top End is the start of a 12-month schedule that includes 20 Tests for Australia, including tours of South Africa, India and England.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/hasan-mahmud-career-best-6-55-blows-australia-away-bangladesh-take-control-on-day-1-of-darwin-test\/articleshow\/133208471.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bangladesh&#8217;s Hasan Mahmud, second left, celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of Australia&#8217;s Travis Head during their test match in Darwin, Australia, Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026.
