00:00Bangladesh began the third day of the Darwin Test against Australia on 351-6 which was
00:06the lead of 153.
00:08Hassan Mahmood was out leg before to Josh Hazelwood for 14.
00:18But the other overnight batsman Mehdi Hassan Miraz reached his half century here.
00:22He went on to score 65.
00:27Miraz fell to Hazelwood giving the bowler his 300th test wicket.
00:34Hazelwood ended with six scalps as Bangladesh were dismissed for 426 to lead by 228.
00:43When Australia batted a second time Jake Weatherald was bowled by Hassan Mahmood for naught.
00:51Make that two wickets for Mahmood as Travis Head also played on after making 17.
00:57Mahmood gets the job done again, it's the angled bat of Travis Head.
01:02Steve Smith joined Marnas Labashain and they put on 36.
01:09Labashain was bowled by Ta'jul Islam for 31.
01:12There's another one, straight through him.
01:15So the question was, would Smith be the one to rescue the Aussies?
01:20Well he was caught and bowled by Mehdi Hassan Miraz for 44 and the deficit was still 106.
01:27There's a breakthrough, Steve Smith looking to turn to the leg side, chips it back and the belief, it's real.
01:34Cameron Green and Alex Carey have so far put on an unbroken partnership of 39.
01:39That's a big positive shot for him, the big fella.
01:42Green is on 43 not out, while the left handed Carey is unbeaten on 19.
01:52Australia closed on 161 for 4 and are still 67 runs behind with plenty of work to do heading into
01:58the fourth day.
01:59Vinod Nawani, Chiefs Export.
02:01That's a good, tough cricket out there.
