Australia vs Bangladesh Test: Bangladesh Dominate Day One Despite Smith Reprieve

Bangladesh dominated the opening day of the first Test against Australia at Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin, with the visitors reaching 108-1 in their first innings by early on day two. Australia's Steve Smith survived a caught-behind review on day one, later admitting "technology saved me" after nicking a delivery from Hasan Mahmud that was given not out. Bangladesh's openers Tanzid Hasan and Mominul Haque built a solid foundation, with Mominul unbeaten on 42 and Tanzid on 37 as the team capitalized on favorable batting conditions.
