Marcus Labuschagne has been caught at second slip and is gone for one off 20 balls. Australia are 3-61 in Darwin against Bangladesh.
The wicket brings an under-the-pump Cameron Green to the crease and his first shot is a nervous prod, edging the ball into the ground. But he then switches into a proactive mindset with two scoring shots that both result in three runs. That’s better, Cam.

Once again, Labuschagne could not keep the score ticking over, leaving himself stuck on the crease and vulnerable. He half plays, half leaves a slower outswinging delivery from Ebadot and it catches a thick edge. The commentators call it a “nothing shot”. And they are spot on.
“He was half-hearted, and didn’t want to play at it,” Mark Waugh told Kayo Sports. “In the end, he just hung the bat there.”
Australia 3-67 off 20 overs. Smith 7 (20), Green 6 (6). The wickets to fall have been Weatherald 23 (37), Head 22 (39) and Labuschagne 1 (20). Hasan Mahmud has 2-25 off seven, and Ebadot Hossain 1-18 off six.
