Opener Tanzid Hasan scored his first century in his second Test as Bangladesh took an 88-run lead over Australia on day two of their series-opener in Darwin. The left-hander registered his mark with 101 runs off 197 balls, finding the boundary off spinner Nathan Lyon to be caught by Mitchell Starc running in from long-off. Najmul Hossain Shanto, the captain and number four, scored 79 not out, while Mushfiqur Rahim contributed 26 runs.
Australia's paceman Josh Hazlewood was the only bowler to trouble Bangladesh, dismissing number three Mominul Haque (49) by having him caught behind. At the tea interval, Bangladesh were at 183-8, having bowled Australia out to 198 in the first session. The team resumed on 96 for one after Australia won the toss and chose to bat first.
This is Bangladesh's first Test series in Australia in 23 years, with the second and final Test scheduled for Mackay, Queensland on August 22.
