Cooper Connolly pushes at it with hard hands and gets a thick outside edge to the right of first slip. Tanzid Hasan is a bit late to react.

OUT! LBW! A fine review from Bangladesh. Mustafizur Rahman goes full again and on middle, swings it back into the right-hander sharply. Marnus Labuschagne looks to flick it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW from almost every Bangladeshi player, but the finger stays down. However, this one looks close, and if it is pitching in line, then it is plumb, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz takes the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat involved, and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, with the ball hitting the middle and leg stump. Australia are 2/2 now and in big trouble.

The ball sneaks through the gap between bat and pad and crashes on the top of the off stump. A golden duck for Short, and Australia are 0/1, chasing 285 runs.
