Bangladesh’s bowlers completely upstaged the return of Australia’s primary bowling quartet on the opening day of the Top End cricket series, as Hasan Mahmud recorded a career-best haul of 6-55 to help dismiss the hosts for just 198.
Demonstrating that Thursday's flurry of wickets was not merely down to playing conditions, Bangladesh’s top-order batters combined to reach 96-1 by stumps, cutting their first-innings deficit to 102 runs.
