Hasan Mahmud's six wickets dismiss Australia for 198

Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud took six wickets as Australia were bowled out for 198 on the first day of their Test. He removed openers Jake Weatherald for 23 and Travis Head for 22 in consecutive early overs, setting up Bangladesh's control of the innings. The supplied report does not include the later score or match result.

Why it matters

Dismissing Australia below 200 away from home gives Bangladesh a rare opening in the Test and makes Mahmud's spell potentially decisive, although the match remains unfinished.
