Day four of the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh began with Australia at 165-4, trailing by 67 runs. Cameron Green was batting on 45 and Alex Carey on 20 as play resumed at the Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin.
Taijul Islam, the left-arm spinner, bowled the 54th over to start the day, with Green scoring a single. Hasan Mahmud then bowled pace from the other end, with Carey getting off strike. Mehidy Hasan replaced Taijul Islam for the 56th over.
Bangladesh is seeking early wickets, particularly Green or Carey, to bolster their chances of securing a historic Test victory in Australia. However, Australia's batting depth and the pitch conditions could allow them to recover.
