MELBOURNE, Aug 13 : Bangladesh’s depleted pace attack routed Australia’s top order to leave the hosts at 74 for four at lunch on day one of the series-opening test in Darwin on Thursday.
• Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and elected to bat first on a grassy pitch on a hot morning in the Northern Territory capital.
• Hasan Mahmud removed both Australia’s openers, with under-pressure Jake Weatherald out for 23 with a loose drive sending an edge to the slips. Travis Head chopped onto his stumps.
• Number three Marnus Labuschagne was caught for one off the bowling of Ebadot Hossain.
