Hasan Mahmud takes 6 for 55 as Bangladesh bowl Australia out for 198

Hasan Mahmud claimed career-best figures of 6 for 55 to bowl Australia out for 198 on the opening day of the first Test in Darwin. It was Australia's lowest innings total in seven Tests against Bangladesh. Steve Smith top-scored with 71 but the rest of the batting order struggled on a surface that assisted seam movement.

Mitchell Starc took his 434th Test wicket when he dismissed Shadman Islam, moving past Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath as the most successful left-arm bowler in Test history. Bangladesh reached 96 for 1 at stumps with Tanzid Hasan on 32 not out and Mominul Haque on 35 not out, reducing the deficit to 102 runs. The Darwin Test marks Bangladesh's first appearance in Australia in 23 years.
