9.00 pm Bangladesh were going nowhere, perhaps even hurtling in reverse at one stage. But finally Mahmudullah was set out in the middle and his ability to find the gaps has taken the score to a very respectable 156 for 5. His carves through point in the final overs were superb. He opened the face far enough to beat point, but made sure he hit it square enough for third man to be useless. At one point, Australia brought the third man up and complicated their problems. Mahmudullah's 49 off 29 balls has been the defining innings today, but the defining bowling performance came from Adam Zampa, who finished with 3 for 23.

"It looked like 130-140. But they played really well. It's hard to work the spinners, it's gripping when the ball is slowed down. I quite like it [when the batsmen come after me]" says Zampa

Corey: "Excellent acceleration by Bangladesh. 44 runs in last 3 overs!"

G: "The death bowling is becoming a serious problem for ausies none of them have been good at the death and they dont look capable of defending scores"

Raff: "Zampa did a lot better today than against the Kiwis. But that might be indicative of something not-so-good for Australia: Bangladesh's spinners will be tough on this pitch." ---- Not to mention Mustafizur Rahman

Coulter-Nile to Mahmudullah, 1 run, low full toss on middle, putted down the ground for a single. Tell you what, this is a serious total with the pitch gripping just enough when you dig those cutters in.

Coulter-Nile to Mahmudullah, no run, there's the wide yorker, and Mahmudullah who was clearing that front leg, was off balance and couldn't reach far enough

Coulter-Nile to Mahmudullah, FOUR, this is getting fun! Another length ball on middle has been swatted to the deep midwicket boundary. Mahmudullah has been unstoppable, because he has picked his areas so well
