Australia look wobbly.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/aug\/15\/australia-v-bangladesh-first-test-day-three-live-updates-darwin&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6a7fe5e48f08bd3e82543fec&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6a7fe5e48f08bd3e82543fec&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Australia v Bangladesh: first men\u2019s Test, day three \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Australia v Bangladesh: first men\u2019s Test, day three \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/aug\/15\/australia-v-bangladesh-first-test-day-three-live-updates-darwin?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a7fe5e48f08bd3e82543fec#block-6a7fe5e48f08bd3e82543fec\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6a7fe4ed8f08bd3e82543fe9\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>4th over: Australia 12-1 (Head 0, Labuschagne 7) <\/strong>Mahmud steams in at Travis Head who has not scored from his first 13 deliveries so far.

He adds another run to his tally.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;sport\/live\/2026\/aug\/15\/australia-v-bangladesh-first-test-day-three-live-updates-darwin&quot;,&quot;hash&quot;:&quot;block-6a7fb4b28f088792503ec8df&quot;,&quot;queryParams&quot;:{&quot;page&quot;:&quot;with:block-6a7fb4b28f088792503ec8df&quot;},&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Australia v Bangladesh: first men\u2019s Test, day three \u2013 live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:2},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Australia v Bangladesh: first men\u2019s Test, day three \u2013 live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/live\/2026\/aug\/15\/australia-v-bangladesh-first-test-day-three-live-updates-darwin?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-6a7fb4b28f088792503ec8df#block-6a7fb4b28f088792503ec8df\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-10ju04u\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" focusable=\"false\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/p>\n<p>Updated at\u00a0<time datetime=\"2026-08-15T00:46:06.000Z\" data-locale=\"en-us\" title=\"Friday, August 14, 2026 at 08:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time\">20.46 EDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6a7fb4198f088792503ec8d9\" class=\"block dcr-wo4zmo\">\n<header class=\"dcr-dm96fu\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\"><strong>112th over: Bangladesh 352-6 (Miraz 33, Mahmud 13)<\/strong> Josh Hazlewood will partner his captain with the opening spells of day three. The Bendemeer Bullet has been the pick of the bowlers so far with 2-68 from his 20 overs. Today he starts by sliding one past the shoulder of Mehidy\u2019s bat. Gorgeous ball. And now Hazlewood goes one better, catching the inside pad. A huge appeal for LBW. Umpire says OUT but Bangladesh will go to the skies for a second opinion\u2026 NOT OUT! It seamed too far in the end, just missing leg stump. Early disappointment for the home side but that movement offers encouragement.

cricket lovers. Welcome to day three of the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh in Darwin. And what a fascinating day it promises to be. The boys in the baggy green caps are on the ropes and looking increasingly rattled, as Bangladesh push hard for a historic first victory in Australia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The Tigers are now a whopping 153 runs ahead with four wickets still in hand after 25-year-old Tanzid Hasan Tamim clobbered a majestic 101 from 197 balls to become the first Bangladesh player to notch a ton on Australian soil. He was given plenty of help by captain Najmul Hossain Shanto (84), Mominul Haque (49) and Mushfiqur Rahim (36) as the visitors surged to an imperious 351 for 6 at stumps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Australia endured a torrid day in the Darwin heat, dropping yet more catches and watching their legendary pace cartel spanked to all corners of the Marrara <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/cricket\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cricket<\/a> Ground. As the visitors cantered to their commanding lead, the home side\u2019s fears and frustrations bubbled over, with Mitchell Starc involved in a final-hour confrontation with Mehidy Hasan Miraz after the two almost collided mid-pitch during a quick single. Umpires had to step in as Starc snarled \u201cGet off the wicket!\u201d to his rival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">The tantrum was just another sign of the deep trouble Australia find themselves in. Pat Cummins\u2019 men have been thoroughly outplayed in this Test. First, they were humiliated with the bat as young Hasan Mahmud tore through them with 6 for 55 to send them packing for a feeble first-innings total of 198. Yesterday they were given a lesson in Test batting as Bangladesh powered into ascendancy with soft hands and quick runs, showing batting technique and match tactics their esteemed rivals should envy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">Today brings a reckoning for Australia\u2019s XI. Careers hang in the balance with the underperforming Jake Weatherald, Marnus Labuschagne and Cameron Green all needing runs or face the axe. Can Postman Pat and his wrecking crew bowling squad crash through the Tigers\u2019 tail and keep the visitors under a lead of 200? And if so, will the home side\u2019s brittle top order step up with the same smart and mature batting their opposition have shown? Either way, today is moving day and history beckons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1s160rg\">First ball is at 10am ACST \/ 10.30am AEST so batten \u2018em down and buckle \u2018em up because this could be a monumental day of Test cricket.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-i9zbi8\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"
