198 — Australia all out, record lowest Test score versus Bangladesh
Hasan Mahmud took a career-best 6 for 55 to lead Bangladesh's attack in Darwin.
Australia collapsed to 198 on day one in Darwin — their lowest Test score ever against Bangladesh. Hasan Mahmud finished with 6 for 55, his best in international cricket.
Mitchell Starc claimed his 434th Test wicket during the innings, overtaking Rangana Herath as the most successful left-arm bowler in Test history. He also equalled Kapil Dev's tally, though in fewer matches.
Bangladesh reached 96 for 1 by stumps, cutting the first-innings deficit to just 102 runs. Before the match, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto had pointedly asked whether the Test would last three or five days — a question that looks sharper now. A sight-screen delay also saw Steve Smith targeted by remarks from an Australian spectator.
