040.440.4: Taskin Ahmed to Nathan Ellis, No hat-trick for Taskin Ahmed! He bowls this on a good length an don middle, jags back in a long way. Nathan Ellis misses his flick and gets hit on the pads as the ball lobs towards point. Massive appeal from the entire Bangladesh unit, but the umpire remains unmoved.
040.340.3: Taskin Ahmed to Adam Zampa, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! Taskin Ahmed with the double strike and he is on a hat-trick now. He serves this full again and on off, gets it to tail back in sharply once more. Adam Zampa plants his front foot out to push it away but fails to judge the inward movement. He leaves a big gap between bat and pad and the ball goes through to crash onto the stumps. A golden duck for Zampa.
040.240.2: Taskin Ahmed to Xavier Bartlett, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Taskin Ahmed strikes and breaks the 103-run partnership. Bangladesh needed this and now they will look to wrap things up quickly. Taskin goes full and straight, on middle. Xavier Bartlett clears his front leg and has a wild hoick across the line.

139.439.4: Mosaddek Hossain to Marnus Labuschagne, Pitched full on middle, Marnus Labuschagne drives it inside out to the cover region for a quick single. This brings up the 100-run partnership between Labuschagne and Bartlett. A fighting stand between these two under tremendous pressure. That brings about some smiles in that Aussie camp.

Came in to bat when the Aussies were struggling badly at 81/6, he has put his hand up and has played a gem of a knock so far. A hint of reverse swing on a fuller length, Xavier Bartlett drives it down to long on for a single.
6 Over | Run: 179/6 | Run Rate: 4.59
438.538.5: Taskin Ahmed to Xavier Bartlett, FOUR! Punished ruthlessly! Back of a length, just outside off. Xavier Bartlett stands tall, picks the length nicely and slams it powerfully down the ground, to the right of long off, for a cracking boundary.

037.637.6: Tanvir Islam to Xavier Bartlett, An appeal for LBW, but not given. Clearly sliding down leg, this one. Slides one in with the arm, on a good length. Xavier Bartlett is pushed on the back foot and tries to work it across, but plays over the line and is struck on the back thigh.
6 Over | Run: 173/6 | Run Rate: 4.55
037.537.5: Tanvir Islam to Xavier Bartlett, Pushed fuller on middle, Xavier leans on and eases it to the bowler's right.
137.437.4: Tanvir Islam to Marnus Labuschagne, FIFTY FOR LABUSCHAGNE! A fine, fine knock from him under pressure. He has been under the scanner for quite a while now, but he has responded to the situation very responsibly. That's his 13th ODI fifty! Full ball, outside off, Marnus lunges ahead and drives the ball down to the long off fielder for a single. He has taken his sweet time, but that's what the situation demanded from him. He gets to his milestone in 75 balls. But knows that the job is not done as yet and will look to bat throughout the innings.
137.337.3: Tanvir Islam to Xavier Bartlett, Drags the length back, on off. Xavier Bartlett rocks back and drags it across with a pull shot. Hits it wide of the mid-wicket fielder for a single.

6 Over | Run: 170/6 | Run Rate: 4.59
136.536.5: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Short on middle, Marnus Labuschagne stands tall and pulls it across to the left of deep square leg for a single. He tries to sneak in the second, but Rishad Hossain, the sub fielder in the deep, is just quick enough to move across to his left and release the ball to the keeper. So they settle for the single.
036.436.4: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, A good-looking shot for nothing. Short of a good length, outside off. Marnus nails the square cut off the back foot to deep point and denies the single.
036.336.3: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Oh, dear! That was really awkward and must have stung him hard. Way too short angling down leg. Marnus Labuschagne initially thinks to play the pull shot, but opts to leave but has very little time to sway from the firing line. Cannot drop his bat and is struck on his left hand. The ball drops and stays scarily around the leg stump before rolling away. Looks like Marnus has hurt his thumb of the left hand and need some medical attention.
036.236.2: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Nip-backer on a good length, on off and middle. Marnus Labuschagne hops across and tucks it to mid-wicket.

035.635.6: Tanvir Islam to Xavier Bartlett, BEATEN! Prodigious spin on this occasion. Lands on one of those cracks in front of the off pole and turns away almost square. Xavier Bartlett is sucked on the front foot and pushes at it, but gets beaten all ends up on the outside edge.
6 Over | Run: 169/6 | Run Rate: 4.69
135.535.5: Tanvir Islam to Marnus Labuschagne, In-angler on a fuller length, Marnus Labuschagne slaps it to the cover fielder who dives to his right and makes a half-stop. The ball is parried away to long off for a single.

134.434.4: Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Xavier Bartlett, Flighted, full and on off, Xavier Bartlett drives it towards long off for a run. The fielder throws it at the keeper's end, where Marnus is not aware of it. It hits him on the back and he looks in a bit of pain.

634.234.2: Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Xavier Bartlett, SIX! That is outta here! A half-tracker, on middle, turns in, begging to be put away. Xavier Bartlett picks up the length early, rocks back and smacks it over deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

132.532.5: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Pace off, back of a length and on middle, Marnus Labuschagne heaves it along the ground towards deep square leg and calls for a two. However, he slips at the other end, and they have to settle for one.

032.332.3: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Bangs this into the pitch, on middle and leg, Marnus Labuschagne rolls his wrists and pulls it away to deep backward square leg. Marnus denies the single. Maybe he is just protecting Bartlett against Rana.

232.132.1: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, Short of a length and outside off, Marnus Labuschagne cuts it away through point for a brace. There is a check for a short run, but the replay shows that Marnus has dragged his bat over the line.

Flatter delivery, full and on off, Marnus Labuschagne gets down and across for the sweep but misses and gets hit on the pads. Miraz looks confident and takes the review after having a word with Litton Das. The question here is whether the impact is in line or not. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that the impact is on umpire's call, with the ball projected to crash into the middle stump. Marnus survives a scare. Bangladesh keep the review.
430.230.2: Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! Up and over! Flighted, full and on off, Marnus Labuschagne skips down the track to get to the pitch of the ball.

425.225.2: Nahid Rana to Marnus Labuschagne, FOUR! A loosener and gets the treatment! Straighter onto the pads, on a good length. Marnus Labuschagne uses the pace, gets a bit across and uses his wrists to angle it through backward square leg for a boundary.

Marnus Labuschagne is squared up and is beaten past the outside edge by a kitten-whisker. This is spot-on bowling.
018.218.2: Taskin Ahmed to Marnus Labuschagne, So close, yet so far! Skiddy delivery, just around the off stump with a decent lift off the deck. Marnus Labuschagne hops on the toes and loosely hangs his bat to dab it to the off side, but the ball whistles past the outside edge on its way to the keeper. A big appeal for caught behind, but not given. Mehidy Hasan Miraz walks up to his bowler and after a bit of a discussion, he opts for a review. UltraEdge, however, comes up with a flat line.

Marnus Labuschagne takes a few steps to pinch in a single but seeing Green turn back, he retreats as well from almost halfway.

017.117.1: Tanvir Islam to Josh Inglis, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Inglis runs out of patience and this brings the 43-run partnership to an end. Flighted up nicely, full and around the off stump. Josh Inglis springs out of the crease and perhaps tries to loft it down the ground, but the ball lands and spins away. Skews off the outer half of the bat and it sails straight down the throat of Tanzid Hasan stationed at deep cover. Hasan comes a few steps forward, crouches and takes a simple catch.

It stays out of the reach and races to the fence, beating deep fine leg to his left.

Cooper Connolly pushes at it with hard hands, with his feet going nowhere, but he gets the faintest of outside edges behind, where Litton Das makes no mistake. There is an appeal for the caught behind, and up goes the finger. Connolly knows he has edged that and does not even bother to take the review. Australia lose both openers with nothing on the board.
00.60.6: Taskin Ahmed to Josh Inglis, Appeal for LBW, but turned down! Short of a length and on middle, nips back in sharply again. Josh Inglis gets hurried and misses his flick to get hit high on the pads. Probably going over and down the leg stump as well.

Tanzid Hasan shapes up to drill it over the bowler's head, but hits it off the toe end and chips it straight to the bowler. Xavier Bartlett takes a good return catch on his follow-through right in front of his face. Dream start for the Aussies in their defence.
