Australia on brink of historic home defeat to Bangladesh

Australia are on the verge of a historic home defeat to Bangladesh in the first Test. Day 4 has seen the visitors seize control, leaving the hosts needing something close to a miracle to avoid a loss that would be their first at home against Bangladesh.

Bangladesh have set Australia a daunting target. The home side's batting has crumbled in the chase, and only a magical performance can now prevent a surrender in their own backyard. No Australian team has lost a Test to Bangladesh on home soil before.

Play continues at the venue, with Australia's hopes hanging by a thread. Defeat would be a major upset and a low point for the team in this series.
