Australia reached 109-2 at stumps on the third day of the first Test after being set a victory target of 265 against Bangladesh on Tuesday.
David Warner made an unbeaten 75 after Nathan Lyon’s 6-82 helped Australia dismiss Bangladesh for 221 in their second innings at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
The visitors still need 156 runs on a difficult pitch with skipper Steve Smith, 25 not out, accompanying Warner at the crease overnight.
