Tanzid Hasan scores Bangladesh's first Test century in Australia

Bangladesh’s Tanzid Hasan recorded the nation’s first Test century on Australian soil, guiding his side to 351‑6 at the close of Day 2 of the opening match of the series. The innings, which came against a disciplined Australian bowling attack, lifted Bangladesh to a commanding 153‑run lead over the hosts.

Australia, still searching for stability in their first innings, were left trailing as the tourists consolidated their position with solid contributions from the top order. The partnership between Hasan and his teammates set a firm platform for Bangladesh, who now look to extend their advantage in the remaining sessions, while Australia will aim to regroup and mount a response in the second innings.
