Score16 - 3

Joel Davies to Nurul Hasan, FOUR! Up and away! Fired in at the stumps, a tad shorter as well. Nurul Hasan goes deep in his crease, picks the length in a trice and whacks it high towards cow corner for a boundary.

Nathan Ellis to Parvez Hossain Emon, OUT! SHARP CATCH SENDS EMON PACKING! A low full toss on the leg pole. Emon advances and looks to flick it over the infield but ends up chipping it toward Davies at mid-wicket, who takes a good catch moving to his right. Emon's struggles come to an end. The hosts are three down.

Spencer Johnson to Parvez Hossain Emon, Fuller than a length, slanting down the leg. Emon misses the flick. It clips the pad and goes to the right of the keeper, who pouches it, and there's half an appeal for a catch, clearly off the pads.

Spencer Johnson to Saif Hassan, OUT! CAUGHT! Both the openers are gone now! Slower ball on the full, just outside off. Saif Hassan looks to break the shackles and hit this over the infield but he is early into the shot, comes off the cue end and goes straight to Mitchell Marsh at mid off, who makes no mistake. Bangladesh are two down.

Is that a run out? Oh, this could be unfortunate for Tanzid Hasan, but that's good work off his own bowling by Spencer Johnson. The third umpire is called in, and replays initially confirm that Johnson did get a hand on it. After that, we can see that the bails came off just before Tanzid got his bat in. OUT comes up on the big screen.

Spencer Johnson to Saif Hassan, OUT! TANZID IS RUN-OUT! Full and straight once again, and Saif Hassan is quick to pounce. He drives it firmly back down the pitch, striking the stumps at the bowler's end. Johnson immediately appeals for a run-out, believing the ball may have brushed him on its way through. The third umpire is called into action and confirms that Tanzid Hasan was out of his crease when the stumps were broken. A cruel and unfortunate dismissal for Bangladesh, as Tanzid departs for 5. The hosts find themselves under early pressure.

All in readiness for the game to begin! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Australia. Tanzid Hasan and Saif Hassan will open the innings for Bangladesh. Australia opt to start with spin as Nikhil Chaudhary has been tossed the new ball. Let's play...

Bangladesh's stylish opener is down for a chat - Saif Hassan starts by talking about the last game and says that the pitch was very good to bat on, but they lost their way by losing a few wickets in a heap. On his own batting, Saif says that he was disappointed to get out after getting a stat in the previous game and overall, the side will look to bounce back today.

Let's hear from Australia's power-hitter - Tim David says they are satisfied to wrap up the series but want to go home with 3 wins. Adds that they knew the Bangladeshi bowlers are very skilled and wanted to put them under pressure and lauds Matt Renshaw for the way he played in the last game. On Mitchell Marsh, he says that he's led the side well and they have kept things very simple and are looking to move forward on a positive note.
