AUS in BAN, 3 ODIs, 2026 Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka

49.6: Liam Scott to Taskin Ahmed, OUT! TAKEN! Liam Scott wraps things up with his second wicket. Bangladesh finish on 284/8. This is a high full toss, outside off, Taskin Ahmed once again throws his bat at it, but it turns in his hands. The ball goes high in the air towards mid off, where Nathan Ellis backtracks nicely, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes a good catch. There is a check for a No Ball, but the replay shows that the ball is well below the waist of the batter, and that will be that for the first innings.

49.6: Liam Scott to Taskin Ahmed, WIDE! Attempts the wide yorker, but spills it over the tramline, outside off. Taskin Ahmed swings and misses. He spreads his arms even before the umpire, but gets the call.

49.4: Liam Scott to Mosaddek Hossain, Short of a length and around off, takes pace off, Mosaddek Hossain goes through the pull early. It hits the toe-end of the bat and goes towards extra cover for one.

49.4: Liam Scott to Mosaddek Hossain, FOUR! This is turning out to be a good over for the hosts! A slower one, full and on middle, Mosaddek Hossain sets himself for the reverse scoop. He gets a top edge that flies over short third. Adam Zampa chases after it but the ball wins the race to the fence.

49.3: Liam Scott to Mosaddek Hossain, Another run out chance...missed! Fuller one and around leg, Mosaddek Hossain clips it towards deep backward square leg for a run. Cameron Green is a bit casual with an underarm throw to the keeper. Seeing that, Hossain charges for the second run and Taskin responds again. Inglis once again misses his shy at the batting end and the batter survives.

49.2: Liam Scott to Taskin Ahmed, In the blockhole, around off, Taskin Ahmed swings but gets it from toe-end as the ball bounces to the keeper. Mosaddek Hossain sets off for the run to get back on strike. Josh Inglis takes aim and throws, but misses the stumps at the batter's end. Hossain had already given up.

49.1: Liam Scott to Taskin Ahmed, FOUR! A freebie! Liam Scott misses the yorker and ends up serving a full toss, outside off. Taskin Ahmed throws his bat at it and slices it over short third for a boundary.

48.6: Xavier Bartlett to Mosaddek Hossain, FOUR! Salt to the wounds! This is what a dropped catch can cost. Precious runs for the hosts. Overpitched and on middle, in the slot as well. Mosaddek Hossain gets under it and thumps it over the bowler's head for a boundary.

48.5: Xavier Bartlett to Mosaddek Hossain, DROPPED! Another chance goes begging! Xavier Bartlett bowls a yorker, on off, Mosaddek Hossain does well to dig out by opening the bat face, but it flies straight to short third. Adam Zampa lets the ball come to him, rather than going forward and grasses it as the ball rolls behind. Two taken. Australia's catching has been well below par in this game.

48.2: Xavier Bartlett to Taskin Ahmed, Pitched up and on middle, Taskin Ahmed backs away to smack it but gets an inside edge onto his pads. Mosaddek Hossain calls for the run, while Bartlett also runs towards the ball. He picks up and has a shy at the batter's end but misses, or else Mosaddek would have been a goner. Josh Inglis thinks that Hossain deliberately changed his direction and asks the umpire, but the umpires are happy that it was not the case.

48.1: Xavier Bartlett to Mosaddek Hossain, A full toss, on middle, Mosaddek Hossain drills it to long on for a single.
