We're underway in Mirpur! Saif Hassan takes strike with Tanzid Hasan Tamim at the non-striker's end as Bangladesh begin their chase. Xavier Bartlett has the new ball in hand for Australia, looking to make an early breakthrough in what promises to be a fascinating contest.

Australia strike early as Nathan Ellis removes Saif Hassan for 5, thanks to a brilliant diving catch from Marnus Labuschagne at slip. The seamer found just enough movement to induce the edge, and Labuschagne did the rest with a sharp one-handed grab. Bangladesh responded positively through new batter Najmul Hossain Shanto, who got off the mark with a crisp boundary down the ground. Despite the wicket, the hosts have moved to 14/1 after two overs, with Shanto and Tanzid Hasan Tamim looking to rebuild.

Bangladesh continue to make solid progress despite the early wicket. Tanzid Hasan Tamim has provided the early impetus with a fluent 24 off 18 balls, while Najmul Hossain Shanto is settling in nicely on 18 off 25. The pair are building a useful partnership and keeping the scoreboard moving, taking the hosts to 48/1 after eight overs. Liam Scott's first over costs just five runs, but Bangladesh remain in a strong position as they approach the 50-run mark.

Bangladesh continue to build a strong platform, reaching 62/1 after 10 overs. Tanzid Hasan Tamim remains the aggressor, moving to 31 off 25 balls, including a superb six to begin the over. At the other end, Najmul Hossain Shanto is playing the perfect supporting role with a composed 25 off 30 deliveries.

Bangladesh's strong start continues as Tanzid Hasan Tamim brings up a classy half-century off just 41 balls, his seventh in ODI cricket. The left-hander has mixed aggression with composure beautifully, laying a solid platform for the hosts. At the other end, Najmul Hossain Shanto is closing in on his own fifty, moving to 46 off 50 balls after finishing the over with a boundary.

Just when Bangladesh looked set to accelerate, Australia strike through Nathan Ellis. Fresh off a well-crafted 54 off 44 balls, Tanzid Hasan Tamim falls attempting to take on a clever slower delivery. Deceived by the change of pace, he miscues the lofted shot straight to Xavier Bartlett at mid-on. It's a timely breakthrough for the visitors, ending a superb innings that featured seven fours and a six.

Najmul Hossain Shanto is joined by Litton Das as the two try to navigate the middle-overs in the game. Few wickets now and Australia will smell blood but the hosts need their experienced pair at the crease if they are to put a big total on the board.

Well, well! BAN have gifted a wicket to AUS with Litton Das hitting straight into the hands of Matt Renshaw as the visitors have a wicket out of no where.

Another one bites the dust! Najmul Hossain Shanto falls for a well-made 67 as Australia snatch yet another wicket in the middle-overs. Just when it was looking things were going fine for BAN, Australia wrestle back the momentum in their favour.

Australia keep things tight at a crucial stage, conceding just four runs from the over. Towhid Hridoy continues to anchor the innings on 31 off 49 balls, while Mosaddek Hossain moves closer to a half-century with 48 off 47.

Australia strike at a crucial moment as Towhid Hridoy departs for 31 off 51 balls. Xavier Bartlett cleverly takes the pace off the ball, deceiving Hridoy into an ambitious drive that never gets the required elevation. Nathan Ellis makes no mistake at mid-off, completing a straightforward catch. With the hosts looking to accelerate in the final 10 overs, the wicket comes at the perfect time for Australia, leaving Mosaddek Hossain on 49 and the newly arrived Mehidy Hasan Miraz with the task of rebuilding momentum.

Australia tighten their grip on the contest with another massive wicket. Liam Scott traps Mehidy Hasan Miraz lbw for 3, and the Bangladesh captain's review only confirms the on-field decision. Under pressure to break the shackles, Miraz attempted an ambitious leg-side shot but missed a full, straight delivery that crashed into the stumps according to ball-tracking. The wicket leaves Bangladesh six down at a critical stage, with the scoring rate slowing dramatically. While Mosaddek Hossain reaches a hard-fought fifty, the hosts suddenly find themselves under pressure heading into the closing overs.

Australia are firmly on top now as Nathan Ellis strikes for his third wicket of the innings. Tanvir Islam, fresh off a boundary, tries to continue the attack but is deceived by a slower delivery and mistimes his lofted shot high towards mid-off. Liam Scott settles underneath and completes a safe catch to send the left-hander back for 5. The wicket leaves Bangladesh seven down with only five overs remaining, placing even greater responsibility on Mosaddek Hossain, who continues to fight with a valuable 65 off 53 balls. Australia sense an opportunity to finish strongly.

Bangladesh finish with a competitive 284, thanks largely to a superb late effort from Mosaddek Hossain, who remains unbeaten on 86 off 70 balls. Taskin Ahmed provides valuable support with a quickfire 20 off 16, helping the hosts gather crucial runs in the death overs. Liam Scott strikes with the final ball of the innings as Taskin holes out to Nathan Ellis, but the damage has already been done. After wobbling in the middle overs, Bangladesh recover strongly to post a challenging total, setting Australia a target of 285 for victory.

Innings break.

The start of the Australian innings has been delayed with rain interruption. We will bring you further update as to when we will have action.

Aussies have been rocked back by two wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Short. The BAN bowlers have made use of the overcast conditions and sogginess of the pitch, to extract seam movement. Big pressure on the visitors now.

AUS: 10/2 (4 Overs)

Cooper Connolly and Josh Inglis have been tasked to steady the Australian innings after being rocked early by the Bangladesh bowlers. The duo have taken AUS to 51 runs in 10 overs with some superb stroke-play.

Josh Inglis had to go after a steady innings in their pursuit of 285 set by Bangladesh. The stand-in skipper was dismissed by Nahid Rana, who was out after scoring 19 runs off 25 balls.

Cooper Connolly is the latest wicket to fall after a fine start to his innings. The Aussie batter's stumps was cleaned up by Mosaddek Hossain as Bangladesh fought back and look to wrestle back the momentum.

Cameron Green and Alex Carey look to steady the sinking Aussie ship with a partnership that could either make or break. Wickets now and Bangladesh are right in this match but these two staying at the crease will demoralise the home team further.

Alex Carey and Matt Renshaw have to go and Australia are now in big, big trouble. Bangladesh have spun a web around the Aussie batters and the latter do not know how to escape. It's a similar trait from the Pakistan series with the hosts right back on top in this match.

Australia are finding themselves in familiar territory with yet another stumble in the run-chase. The ODI World Cup champions have lost their way after a steady innings in the middle-overs. Bangladesh are now three wickets away from taking a 1-0 lead.

Australia's batting woes on Asian soil is thread bare with yet another meek surrender. The World Champions have just not been able to navigate through as BAN bowlers throttled them with the spin and seam movement.

Cameron Green is holding fort for the Aussies with Bangladesh one wicket away from win. The Aussie all-rounder has stayed solid and looks to bid his time. Bangladesh are in the driving seat but Green's heroics could prove vital.

Some lightning around and the players are off. Cameron Green has scored a fifty but the Aussie batting has been preposterous to say the least. BAN are a wicket away from sealing this match.

Now it has started to rain in Dhaka. The umpires will take a call at 7:43 pm local time. In case the match doesn't resume, Bangladesh will win by 86 runs (DLS method).

The match has been called off and Bangladesh go 1-0 up in the 3-match ODI series. Bangladesh bowlers especially Nahid Rana was breathing fire while the Aussie batters had no answer to the hosts' pace attack.
