Australia rocked by three late wickets

Australia lost three wickets within seven overs in the first innings on the first day of the first Test against Bangladesh at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday.

Opener Warner was trapped lbw by Mehidy Hasan Miraz in the sixth over of the innings. Khawaja was run out on the very first ball of the following over and Shakib Al Hasan ended the over by sending Lyon back to the pavilion, leaving the Aussie 14 for three.

However, Australia made 18 for three in nine overs at the end of the first day.

Earlier, Bangladesh all rounder Shakib Al Hasan and opener Tamim Iqbal helped Bangladesh to make 260 for all in their first innings.

Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan celebrated their 50th appearances with a defiant stand, raising 155 runs for the fourth wicket.

Tamim scored 71 off 144 balls while Shakib made 84 runs from 133 balls. Nasir contributed 23 runs before being trapped lbw by Agar.

Despite opting to bat after winning the toss, Bangladesh were gasping for breath after Pat Cummins had reduced them to 10-3 inside four overs before the duo combined to arrest the slide but both fell to spinners in the second session.

Australian bowlers Cummins, Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar took three wickets each in the innings.
