00:00Hampstead Villas at DHC city Karachi offers premium living with seamless connectivity via Shah Rai Bhutto.
00:30Feels a bit more like home conditions for them.
00:33The news from the middle at the toss was Pat Cummins had won the toss, Elisa Healy, and chose to
00:38bat first.
00:39And, well, he didn't name his team at the toss. He named it yesterday.
00:43And we're all set. A huge summer of Test Match cricket kicking off.
00:54Nice and straight, immediately attacking the stumps.
01:04Indication of the positive mindset of Travis Heads.
01:06Just casually progresses it through the covers for the opening boundary of the Test Match.
01:14Ooh, there's a five. Catch it.
01:18Little off the mark. He'll get a boundary. It's a beautiful outfield, and that race is under the advertising padding.
01:29Going to be a boundary.
01:33Just buys.
01:36Just got away from Littendass, the wicketkeeper for Bangladesh.
01:41That's a nice shot. Beautiful one there from Weatherill down the ground.
01:47Should get to the rope only just, but that will give him a bit of confidence, and well appreciated by
01:52the crowd here in Darwin.
01:56And this time it goes for him.
01:59As I said, sometimes it can look great.
02:02And that was a good indication.
02:06Oh!
02:07Another good delivery.
02:09Gets the inside edge. It's a boundary.
02:12Streaky one at bat.
02:14Hasn't quite gone Bangladesh's way this morning.
02:19Edge, there it is. First one this morning up here at the top end.
02:23Bangladesh finally get the breakthrough.
02:25And it's Weatherill on his way.
02:28You felt that coming, didn't you?
02:29Good captaincy to keep Hassan on.
02:31He's deserved that wicket.
02:33And I was talking about Jake Weatherill.
02:3623 for him.
02:37A bit to think about. It's one for 45.
02:41There's a half-volley.
02:43Just starting to get into his stride here.
02:46Travis Head.
02:4750 up for Australia.
02:50And another one.
02:53Oh!
02:54That's what they needed.
02:55A little top on.
02:57Another one.
02:59Just when they thought
03:00it was going the wrong way.
03:02Bangladesh, they strike back.
03:05Hassan Mahmood.
03:06He's done it again.
03:07It's his second.
03:08He's got the valuable wicket of Travis Head.
03:10He's worked away.
03:11He's been the best of the Bangladeshis.
03:13Bangladesh has two.
03:15Lunch a long way away.
03:17Steve Smith on his way in.
03:19Head out for 22.
03:20It's two for 52 in the 14th.
03:24Wow.
03:25It doesn't carry or does it?
03:26The reaction says it did.
03:28It was soft hands from Smith.
03:32It's again and taken this time.
03:35The captain holds on to it.
03:38Najmal.
03:40They celebrate.
03:43Manas goes.
03:49That's a good bit of bowling
03:50and this time Bangladeshis hang on
03:52and they're on top at the moment.
03:54Manas, it was an innings
03:56where he never got going.
03:57He's out for one.
03:58Three for 61 Australia.
04:01Yeah.
04:02That's a punch down the ground.
04:06Firm push.
04:07Just released the nerve.
04:10Nerves for green.
04:10Green will get back for three.
04:12So good running.
04:18That's hitting the ball again.
04:19Nice push.
04:21To mid off.
04:23Green should get back for a third.
04:28He's worked nicely.
04:30So that's positive intent
04:31from Cam Green.
04:36Catch.
04:36It's a call.
04:37Backing back.
04:38Too big.
04:39Too much on it, Cam Green.
04:41All the way for six.
04:43For a moment.
04:44He would have been nervous.
04:46Just hit the fraction rushed
04:48on that stroke
04:49but he gets away with it.
04:53Upish.
04:54Score.
04:54And taken.
04:55Great catch.
04:57Mushfika Rahim.
04:59Tuscan gets in on the party act
05:01for Bangladesh.
05:03Smiles and high fives
05:04all around
05:05and rightly so.
05:06They have been brilliant
05:07on the opening morning
05:08of this first test.
05:11And Cameron Green
05:12will be disappointed.
05:13Four for 74 Australia.
05:18It's punished.
05:21A rare loose delivery.
05:24Dragged down
05:25and Steve Smith
05:26jumped all over it.
05:27Taking a slip out.
05:30It's through.
05:33Convincing from Smith.
05:35Soft enough hands.
05:38And without a boundary.
05:39And frustrate Bangladesh.
05:45Okay.
05:46Quick to latch onto that.
05:49Smith's timed one
05:49a little earlier.
05:50Similar stroke
05:51that punishes that
05:52to the boundary.
05:53He's opening
05:54boundary.
06:03He's down the ground
06:04for Carey.
06:05A little bit more
06:05inside edge.
06:08Inside half of the bat.
06:10Get back to three.
06:12Closes out the over.
06:13The 28th.
06:134 for 93.
06:17Shot.
06:18Over pitched.
06:20Just the ease
06:21with which Carey
06:22pushed that down the ground.
06:24It's almost a little bit
06:25casual, laconic,
06:26but it's
06:27just natural ability
06:29and not trying
06:29to overdo it.
06:33Oh, well pulled.
06:36We'll go for runs,
06:37but that's the top
06:38of area you need to be at.
06:39And we'll just
06:41get into the boundary.
06:44Steve Smith.
06:46The fourth boundary
06:47for him.
06:51In the right area
06:52but Smith's good enough.
06:53Another boundary
06:54for him.
06:55Put the foot down,
06:56no doubt about it.
06:57Oh, he's not that bad.
06:59It's just a fraction
06:59wide at all
07:00and he knows that,
07:01Steve Smith,
07:01but he's good enough
07:02to follow with his hands.
07:03Back into the attack.
07:06Ooh, just wide.
07:08I have to get confirmation
07:09from the umpire
07:09if he's got any bat on it
07:11or was it just pad?
07:12Down at pad it was.
07:18Oh, that's nice.
07:19Beautiful play
07:20from Smith.
07:22Another boundary to him.
07:24Might be the best one
07:25so far for him.
07:29Bowls straight away.
07:30Immediate impact.
07:32Everdyke.
07:33Yes, the celebrations.
07:35The eyes tell you
07:36just what it means.
07:38The perfect start
07:39to this second hour.
07:40Yeah, salute indeed.
07:42So a real chance here
07:43for Sri Lanka.
07:45Carry out.
07:46It's 1-2-9 for five.
07:47Gone for 19 from 43.
07:52Full control.
07:54He'll get a nice reward
07:56his opening boundary.
08:03Right.
08:04OK.
08:05Kiss of death,
08:06wouldn't it?
08:09Just to say
08:10that hasn't got him
08:11270 test match wickets,
08:13but you're allowed
08:14to warm up occasionally,
08:15even at this level.
08:19Just overpitched
08:20and that's beautifully
08:21caressed through the covers.
08:24And we'll go all the way.
08:26Nice timing
08:26by Webster.
08:28So a tough start here.
08:30The total.
08:34Bowling!
08:35It's a beauty.
08:36Great captain
08:37seeing Tascad.
08:38He is the senior
08:39marksman.
08:40And Shanto.
08:41He called on him
08:42and he delivered.
08:45Brilliant bit of bowling
08:46by Tascad.
08:48Armoured here.
08:49Whenever he's been summoned,
08:50he's got a pole.
08:51He removes
08:51Bo Webster
08:52at six down
08:53at 152
08:54in the 39th.
08:59That's 50
09:00for Steve Smith.
09:0382nd time
09:04in test match
09:05cricket for Australia
09:06who has passed
09:07to at least
09:08achieve that number.
09:14Kicking himself off.
09:17Cummins.
09:17they're going to get
09:18some extras here.
09:19Steve Smith
09:19ended up with five.
09:24That doesn't seem fair,
09:26does it?
09:26A good shot.
09:26The stumps.
09:27Direct hit.
09:28Make him hit over the top.
09:30Oh,
09:30he goes over the top.
09:32There you go.
09:37Now put him
09:38three quarters.
09:42Edge
09:42and a breakthrough.
09:43Big one.
09:44Great move
09:45that from the captain.
09:46Going back to
09:47Hassan.
09:48He picks up his third.
09:50Well in control
09:50here,
09:51Bangladesh.
09:52Yeah,
09:52there it is.
09:53Outside off.
09:54It was probably there
09:55to hit.
09:55Might have been
09:56a fraction
09:56close to his body.
09:58Bangladesh on top
09:59here against Australia.
10:01They lose their
10:02seventh wicket.
10:04Australia
10:04seven for one,
10:05seven,
10:06two.
10:08Oh,
10:09is that a little one?
10:10It is.
10:10Through to the keeper.
10:12Wow,
10:12what a performance
10:13here from Bangladesh.
10:15The same.
10:15He's got his fourth.
10:17He's been impeccable
10:18today.
10:19Outstanding.
10:20He's toiled hard.
10:22He's got the outside
10:23edge here of Mitchell
10:24Stark.
10:25He's going to see
10:26if he's rolled
10:26his fingers
10:27across this one.
10:28Australia lose
10:29their eighth wicket.
10:30They're eight
10:31for 176.
10:35Oh,
10:36that was uppercut.
10:38Hit well
10:39from Steve Smith
10:40through the sink
10:42at it.
10:43Down the wicket.
10:45Straight up in the air.
10:45This should be out.
11:01Another catch
11:02Hassan Mahmood.
11:04This has been
11:04exceptional from you
11:05today.
11:08So he goes to 71
11:09of 109,
11:10Steve Smith.
11:11He's been the
11:12backbone of Australian
11:13batting here today.
11:14Back live now.
11:25up in the air.
11:27This should be taken.
11:28It is.
11:30So Australia
11:30all out inside
11:31200.
11:33Six wickets
11:33for Hassan.
11:35Career best
11:36figures for him.
11:37What a time to do
11:38it against a full
11:39strength Australian
11:40line-up.
11:41Oh, full credit
11:42to the young man.
11:43This has been
11:43a terrific spell.
11:45It's been disciplined.
11:45It's been accurate.
11:48He's moved the ball
11:49both ways.
11:50He's bowled
11:51to a plan
11:52to all the batters.
11:54He's used
11:55the short ball
11:56to affect
11:56a fantastic
11:57reward for him.
12:00Australia
12:00batted first.
12:01They won the toss
12:01and batted first.
12:02There's only one
12:03decent partnership.
12:04That was Steve
12:04Smith and Alex
12:05Carey.
12:05That was 55
12:06from 85.
12:07What about Steve
12:08Smith?
12:08He was dropped
12:08on two,
12:09but he made 71.
12:10I tell you what,
12:10take that 71
12:11out of the scorecard
12:12and it looks
12:13not very good.
12:15Taskin and Hassan
12:16set it up
12:16with the new ball.
12:17They didn't get
12:18a wicket
12:18in the first
12:19hour of play,
12:20but they ended
12:21up holding them
12:21all out
12:22for 198.
12:27straight in the
12:29office.
12:32Start.
12:33You know
12:33his first
12:34over is
12:35lethal.
12:36Look at
12:39scurry across
12:40the outfield
12:41for four
12:41leg buys.
12:47Shot.
12:48It's a little
12:50bit of width
12:51to get it
12:52right out
12:52of the middle
12:53that goes
12:53into the
12:53shadows
12:54and into
12:54the boundary.
13:01That's it
13:02was the call
13:02but it's
13:02going to be
13:03chasing that
13:04all the way
13:05to the boundary
13:07to win the
13:07over.
13:09Positive
13:09signs from
13:10Shadman.
13:13Oh,
13:14on that note
13:14he's just
13:14come down
13:15straight down
13:15the wicket.
13:17There you
13:18go.
13:19Don't worry
13:19about being
13:20patient down
13:20the wicket
13:21four.
13:21And that's
13:22why Tanzid
13:22has this
13:23stroke rate
13:23of over
13:24190 eyes
13:25because he
13:25takes
13:25boulders
13:26on in
13:26the
13:26in the
13:27water
13:27mould.
13:30Oh,
13:31leading edge
13:31taken.
13:31There it is.
13:32Ryan,
13:33he doesn't
13:33miss this
13:33one.
13:34A little
13:35bit easier.
13:36Finally
13:36Australia,
13:37they get
13:37that breakthrough
13:38thanks to
13:38Mitchell
13:39Stark.
13:41And
13:42justifiable
13:42for
13:43Mitchell
