  "summary": "Australia are on the brink of a significant defeat against Bangladesh. The tourists have made substantial inroads into the Australian batting line-up, with Bangladesh seamer Hasan Mahmud dismissing both Australian openers cheaply.\n\nMarnus Labuschagne was bowled for 31 and Steve Smith, who has often been a saviour for Australia, edged to off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz for a modest score. At the close of play on the third day, Australia trailed Bangladesh by 67 runs in their second innings, with Cameron Green on 43 and Alex Carey on 19.\n\nAccording to Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, the team is focusing on taking it session by session and not worrying about the outcome. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also played a valuable role with the bat, scoring a half-century for Bangladesh.",
