Bangladesh Build 228-Run Lead

Earlier, the Tigers were bowled out for 426 from 138 overs after resuming day three on 351-6.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz converted his overnight 32 into 65, helping the tourists extend a lead that had stood at 153 at the start of play.

Bangladesh's lower order continued to frustrate Australia, with Taijul Islam contributing 17 and Taskin finishing unbeaten on 14.

Josh Hazlewood eventually brought the innings to a close, taking all four Bangladesh wickets to fall on day three and finishing with 6-89.

Ebadot Hossain was the last man out, edging Hazlewood behind to Alex Carey for seven.

Bangladesh's 138-over innings also represented an unusually long stint in the field for Australia at home.

It was their longest bowling effort in a home Test innings since India batted for 167.2 overs in Sydney in January 2019.

Australia had not needed to bowl more than 134.3 overs to dismiss an opponent across their subsequent 72 home Test innings.

Bangladesh have strengthened their grip on the Darwin Test as Hasan Mahmud removed both Australian openers to leave the hosts still facing a sizeable deficit at tea on day three. Australia reached the interval on 51-2 from 17 overs in their second innings on Saturday, still 177 runs behind Bangladesh after the tourists had earlier amassed 426 to take a first-innings lead of 228. Marnus Labuschagne was unbeaten on 21 alongside Steve Smith on eight, with the pair adding 14 from 40 balls as Australia attempted to rebuild. Hasan, who took six wickets in the first innings, struck in his opening over to remove Jake Weatherald for a duck. The left-handed opener attempted to work a delivery from outside off stump through the square region, but edged the ball back onto his stumps. Hasan then returned to dismiss Travis Head for 17, breaking a 33-run second-wicket partnership. Head attempted to cut a delivery close to off stump but could only inside-edge it onto his leg stump, leaving Australia 38-2 after 11 overs. It meant Hasan had dismissed both Australian openers in each innings of the Test. He became only the second Bangladesh bowler to remove both opposition openers in both innings of a Test, following Robiul Islam against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2013. Bangladesh had an opportunity to apply further pressure when Taskin Ahmed struck Labuschagne on the pad in the fifth over. The tourists reviewed the not-out decision after a strong lbw appeal, but replays showed the ball would have passed over the stumps, costing Bangladesh their first review.
