Bangladesh's Hasan Mahmud took career-best 6-55, dismantling Australia's openers Jake Weatherald (0) and Travis Head (17). Josh Hazlewood claimed 6-89 to reach 300 Test wickets, while Miraz added 65 from 154 balls. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto praised his team's 'character' over the last three days.

Australia closed on 161-4, with Cameron Green (43*) and Alex Carey (19) at the crease. The result would mark Australia's first home Test loss to Bangladesh since 2017.
