Miraz looks confident and takes the review after having a word with Litton Das. The question here is whether the impact is in line or not. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved and Ball Tracking shows that the impact is on umpire's call, with the ball projected to crash into the middle stump. Marnus survives a scare. Bangladesh keep the review.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz to Marnus Labuschagne, Four!FOUR! Up and over! Flighted, full and on off, Marnus Labuschagne skips down the track to get to the pitch of the ball.

DRINKS! Australia have stiched up another nice little partnership to steady things, but they will have to extend this as Marnus Labuschagne is the last recognised batter left. He is desperate for runs but has shown good grit so far, while Xavier Bartlett has come out with intent. Bangladesh have been superb with the ball, and they will look to do more of the same and keep chipping in with the wickets. Well, things could have been better if they had taken their chance to run Marnus out, but they are still on top of this game.

Tanvir Islam to Cameron Green, OUT! c & b Tanvir Islam.OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A soft dismissal, and Cameron Green's resistance is broken. Tanvir Islam bowls this slower through the air, shortish and on middle, just holds up in the surface a bit. Green moves back and pushes at it with hard hands and ends up chipping it tamely back to the bowler. The ball dies on Islam, but he does well to get low and take a sharp catch on his follow-through.

Marnus Labuschagne is squared up and is beaten past the outside edge by a kitten-whisker. This is spot-on bowling.
Taskin Ahmed to Marnus Labuschagne, No run.So close, yet so far! Skiddy delivery, just around the off stump with a decent lift off the deck. Marnus Labuschagne hops on the toes and loosely hangs his bat to dab it to the off side, but the ball whistles past the outside edge on its way to the keeper. A big appeal for caught behind, but not given. Mehidy Hasan Miraz walks up to his bowler and after a bit of a discussion, he opts for a review. UltraEdge, however, comes up with a flat line. Beaten by a whisker. Bangladesh lose a review.
Taskin Ahmed to Marnus Labuschagne, No run.Fuller on off, Marnus Labuschagne presses forward and defends it to short cover.

Mosaddek Hossain throws it to the bowler, but Tanvir fails to collect it cleanly and that allows Marnus to scoot in. Somehow, the danger is averted, or else Australia would have been six down. A run out is something the tourists just cannot afford.
Tanvir Islam to Cameron Green, No run.Pushed through, full on the pads. Cameron Green keeps it out watchfully.
