The last time Bangladesh played Australia in a Test match, Jason Gillespie scored an unlikely double century and the year was 2006. It has been a jaw-opening 11 years since Australia and Bangladesh played each other in a Test match. The two sides have been scheduled to play in 2008, 2010 and 2015 in the past before it has finally come about now. The visitors come into the game without a practice game, a grim recent record in the sub-continent and a real possibility of dropping to their worst ranking of sixth. Bangladesh possess plenty of talent and grit to pose a real threat to Australia in Dhaka for the first Test. Catch live scores and updates of Bangladesh vs Australia, 1st Test Day 1, from Dhaka.
