Quick hits: Smith sets review record after horror drop, Warner jinxes Marnus
Steve Smith reviews a decision before he's given out, Marnus Labuschagne gets desperate and then jinxed, while Josh Hazlewood provides a bright spot in an otherwise pitch-black day for Australia. Here are the quick hits from day three of the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh.
Australia faced a challenging day in the first Test against Bangladesh on day three. The day started off poorly for the Australians as Marnus Labuschagne made a desperate appeal to review a decision, which was later confirmed wrong by replays. This led to Steve Smith, close to breaking the record for most catches by a Test cricketer, dropping a crucial catch, allowing Bangladesh to gain an enormous 228-run lead.
Despite Josh Hazlewood's impressive performances, bowling 6-89 and getting his 300th Test wicket, the Australians were in a precarious position. The day's bright spot was Hazlewood's bowling, but Jake Weatherald's poor form and a missed review by Steve Smith left the Australian team feeling disappointed.
