Live: Aussie openers fall as Bangladesh paceman strikes twice

So, we’ve seen vision of Hasan heading off the field.

He didn’t look particularly ginger, and Bangladesh didn’t look too bothered, but it means the two-wicket hero is out of the attack.

It’s Taskin who returns to the bowling crease and Smith works a single through the off-side and he’s off the mark.

And Labuschagne follows suit – squirting one away through the leg side for a single.

Smith is struck on the pad trying to play some sort of expansive straight drive, but it looks like he got an edge on the ball and it was heading down the leg side, anyway.

Tip and run from Smith, nudging into the offside for a single.

It’s Labuschagne, still looking to get off the mark, facing Ebadot.

Edge! A lovely full delivery has Labuschagne pushing forward and attempting to defend. He catches a thick-ish outside edge and the ball flies into the ground and then into the slip cordon.

Labuschagne is once again anxious in fending one into the off-side, before shouldering arms to a good length delivery.

That’s a maiden over.

A cheer ripples through the stands as Steve Smith completes his pre-knock rituals and makes his way to the middle.

Hasan has two balls left in the over.

Smith flirts with the idea of coming down the pitch to his very first ball, but thinks better of it, leaving one outside off.

And Smith is defending to end the over.

Hasan continues his promising spell against Head.

The Australian opener is yet to find any real fluency, but that’s a nice shot. Head uses that excellent hand-eye co-ordination to flay a cut shot for a couple.

Shot! That’s a genuine half volley from Hasan, and Head is confident in striding forward and creaming his drive to the fence.

Head works a single off the first ball and Ebadot gets his first look at Labuschagne.

Three slips and a gully for Labuschagne, who is flirting with playing at one that nips back towards him. The Australian eventually withdraws his bat and the ball flies through to Litton Das behind the stumps.

Far too wide from Ebadot, and Labuschagne is more than happy to watch it through to the ‘keeper.

Better from the Bangladesh spearhead this time, on a good length and spitting towards Labuschagne. It’s left alone once again.

Labuschangne leaves another one that really rockets off the surface, thudding into the gloves of Litton Das well above his head.

That’s over.

So, it’s Marnus Labuschagne who has made his way to the middle.

He takes guard and is shouldering arms to his first ball, which darts back at him off the seam. Good leave.

Another dot ball completes a wicket maiden for Hasan.

You’d have to keep him on, he’s been bowling brilliantly, even in the hot and humid winter conditions, 28 degrees, 70 per cent humidity.

EDGED! Short of the keeper! A bottom edge as Weatherald once again has a wild swing outside off. No luck for Hasan so far today. Weatherald looks very below par.

Good ball, and a good leave, on length and although the off stump was still exposed, it was well left. The ball pings through to Das behind the stumps too.

Weatherald pulls, bottom edges into his own belly.

Ebadot has started to ramp up the pace a bit, that one was 138km/h as Head clips off his toes for a single to deep backward square leg.

CLOSE! FOUR! Off the inside edge just past the stumps! Jake Weatherald gets a huge slice of luck there, playing the ball too late and edging the ball past the stumps, all three of which were exposed by a really big step backwards. His bat was a long way from his pads. He’s on 22 from 31 balls, but has looked really shaky.

He gets hit on the pad, ball going down leg side. No run.

Weatherald cuts for a single to deep point, there is protection out there.

FOUR! Head pulls away to midwicket for a boundary, too short from Ebadot, and Head was quickly onto it.

Down the leg side, well taken by the keeper.

His fifth over on the bounce, 0-15 so far. He has bowled well.

BEATEN! Another slashing drive attempt from Weatherald and, once again, he’s missed it. That’s a really rubbish shot to be playing – he keeps getting lucky there when patience is what is required.

FOUR! This time he drives well, all timing, no foot movement, and he middles that out to the covers. Again, that time he got the ball out the middle of the bat but I’d be far happier with my opening bat leaving those.

Weatherald is rapped on the thigh pad, nipping the ball back and swinging out of the hand – Weatherald stepped back revealing his stumps in anticipation of that bal, but he can’t keep exposing his stumps like this.

Left outside off, Weatherald looks in all sorts out there at the moment, he’s muttering away to himself.

He defends that one nicely, but it’s another good ball from Hasan.

Weatherald leaves the last. He’s living very dangerously at the moment, is the local boy, and he needs to get a grip on himself here.

Bangladesh’s bowling stocks are not deep. This is his 26th Test match for the 32-year-old, starts over the wicket to Head, who leaves outside off.

He’s quicker than his two opening bowling partners though, 135km/h that second ball that Head defends.

BEATEN! GOOD  BALL! That has nipped back and it’s cut Travis Head in half, missing the inside edge by a fraction of an inch. What a ball.

BEATEN! He’s done it again! Another brilliant ball from Ebadot, keeping the ball in exactly the right place to Travis Head, too close to cut and he’s gone outside it too.

BIG APPEAL! BIG APPEAL! Ebadot traps Travis Head on the crease! That’s hit the front pad and it looked close without being out. But Bangladesh have gone upstairs! I think this was going outside off stump, not coming back in enough. No, it has missed the off stump – a really good ball though and perhaps the review was worth it from the perspective of the way they’ve been bowling. Well bowled.

Head can’t get the last away down the leg side, a bit more bounce that Head can’t handle.

Good over from Ebadot.

Hmmm, not a great shot there from Weatherald, who attempts an expansive drive but can’t time the ball at all.

He fends a straighter one to mid on for a single. He looks like he’s battling a bit out there at the moment.

Good ball from Hasan Mahmud, wider on the crease around the wicket and he angles the ball into Head, a bit of nip off the surface means Head can only inside edge to midwicket for a single.

Full, driven nicely by Weatherald to wide long on. He was falling again over to the off side though, a bit faster a delivery and he’ll be in trouble.

BEATEN! Silly shot from Weatherald, who looks to drive to the off side and misses, the ball moving a bit away as it passes on the up.

FOUR! That’s better from Weatherald, to long off, a nice drive off a half-volley from Hasan, a bad ball and one of the few loose ones he has sent down.

Head gets his customary single to start the over.

Outside off to Weatherald, who leaves alone.

He leaves outside off again, the ball not quite being delivered at 130km/h at the moment, but the ball was carrying through nicely to the keeper and three slips.

Shorter outside off, Weatherald plays his best shot so far today, pulling and controlling the ball into the leg side, hitting it into the ground to deep backward square – that ended a long run of dot balls he faced.

He clips the next one off his pads for a single to the same area – good for him to start getting the runs after being so watchful.

Head lets the last hit his thigh pad, not offering a shot.

Head clips off his pads to square leg for a single.

Weatherald leaves on length as the ball nips back over the stumps.

BEATEN! Weatherland tries to cut a ball that’s a bit close to him, flashing the bat outside off and, once again, he misses the ball. No foot movement whatsoever from Weatherald.

Good leave, Weatherald looking at the ball that’s pitched just short of a good length and nips back over the stumps.

He leaves the next one outside off, the ball just scooting through across the face from over the wicket.

APPEAL! It was always going down leg side but that’s the plan for Hasan, drag Weatherald across and then arrow in at the leg stump.

To Head, three slips still in place, and Head leaves it outside off.

Head leaves another one that nips back a long way and only misses the off stump by a fraction.

Too leg side and Head clips away to fine leg for a single.

Taskin stays around the wicket to Weatherald.

BIG SHOUT! That’s too high I think, Weatherald gets a stride in a long way across after stepping back to the leg side with his back leg and he’s caught on the crease. It’s too high and Taskin’s shout is ignored by the umpire.

FOUR! Another big stride and Weatherald almost collapses to the off side as he clips off his leg stump for a boundary. It’s given as byes, tough on the keeper that.

He leaves the last.

And he bowls outside off stump, left alone by Head.

Head’s leg side stroke play is not the most elegant, he looks to lever the ball to square leg with a flick that exhibits his immaculate timing, but he can’t get it off the square.

LEADING EDGE! Head gets away with one there, again looking to turn the ball to the leg side and was through the shot too early, the ball plugging a bit in the surface and it loops up in the air, falling safe next to Jake Weatherald. Very lucky.

Head gets off strike with a cut to the leg side for a single.

BEATEN! Weatherald is beaten again, another nipping ball that cuts back in on Weatherald. Again, not far away but the ball has done plenty off the deck.

BEATEN! A wide delivery that Weatherald throws the hands at and he misses getting an edge on it.

Head fends away the first, and the second, still three slips and a gully, plus a backward point for Taskin, who is operating at 131km/h. How I wish Nahid Rana was fit for this series, I’d have loved to see the Australians really tested by a bowler capable of hitting over 150km/h.

Head defends again.

Around the wicket now form Taskin, who cramps Head up for space.

A single off his pads ruins what would have been a maiden.
