They've more inching to do yet, what with having to bat last

[Satchmo Distel]

195-9. Ninth wicket added 49. Agar has the familiar rescue role.

All out for 217. Bangladesh are now inching ahead, they lead by 51. I'm guessing anything over 200 will be tough to chase.

[SouthdownRebel]

Now 80 ahead with all 10 wickets in hand. This is looking pretty good for Bangladesh.

[Antepli Ejderha]

They ended the day 88 ahead but lost a late wicket. Hopefully they can go on and win this test.

India again beat Sri Lanka in a one dayer marred by crowd trouble.

[ad hoc]

Not been a great start to the day. Reckon Bangladesh need a lead of significantly over 200

[Kevin S]

Fourth wicket goes early in the middle session. That had been a good partnership. Very important to stay composed and bat as much of today as possible.

[Kevin S]

They've pushed the target up to 211 now with five in hand. This is looking good.

[Kevin S]

Eeep. Lower order collapse here - this target isn't getting much bigger.

[Kevin S]

9th wicket - being reviewed.

[Kevin S]

No bat on that - successful review for Shafiul Islam. Then Mehidy Hasan hits a 6 and a 4! three fours.

[Kevin S]

Here goes the Australia chase. Target of 265 is quite daunting on this pitch.

[Kevin S]

28/2. Marvellous.

[Satchmo Distel]

Australia's record in Asia post-Warne is particularly poor IIRC.

[Sits]

I think this thread is as good as any for this.

[Kevin S]

Argh. Warner is playing brilliantly.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Warner and Smith now in and they require 200. This is going to be very close.

[Kevin S]

Day three stumps Australia are 109/2, with 156 more runs required.

[Antepli Ejderha]

At stumps Australia need 155 to win and have 8 wickets in hand. Perhaps it won't be close after all?

[ad hoc]

The absolute worst case scenario would be not only an Australian win but one in which Warner shines

[Various Artist]

I think this thread is as good as any for this.

Magnificent.

[SouthdownRebel]

The good news is that Warner has to start again in the morning. If these two get another 50 together I think Australia win.

[ad hoc]

Warner and Smith both gone. Australia need 94 with 6 wickets left. Still think they'll win but it promises to be another good finish

[Kevin S]

Now need 67 with only three...

[Kevin S]

66 to go, and that's lunch!
