Australia Trails Bangladesh in First Test

Australia finds itself in a precarious position after the third day of the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin. The hosts are facing an uphill battle to salvage the match, with Bangladesh having taken a significant lead. Australia's first innings ended at 198, while Bangladesh amassed a substantial total of 426, putting the visitors in a commanding position.

The Australian team's task has been made even more daunting with the absence of their best batsman, Steve Smith. However, all-rounder Cameron Green has shown resilience, remaining unbeaten on 43 at stumps on day three.
