Bangladesh vs Australia, 1st Test Day 4: Live Score and Updates from Darwin
12:24 IST:
DRINKS BREAK! Time for the final hydration interval of Moving Day. The pitch has flattened out nicely, and batting looks a good deal more hospitable right now with the ball softening up as well. Steve Smith has stood firm like a wall, with Green offering solid support alongside him, blocking, nudging and smothering the ball with real watchfulness. There isn’t much on offer for the spinners at the moment, though come day four, expect this surface to start turning that little bit more. There’s still a lot for Australia to untangle here, and this pair will be looking to bat right through to the close, aiming to whittle that deficit down to somewhere around 60 or 70. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be desperate for just one more breakthrough in quick time, enough to peg Australia firmly back into submission. Smith is down on the ground, receiving treatment from the physio on his right calf. He eventually gets back on his feet and we are good to resume. Hasan Mahmud (7-2-18-2) returns for another burst.
