Australia vs Bangladesh 2026 cricket scores: First Test, day 4 highlights, results, latest updates; Cameron Green closes in on century after Alex Carey, Beau Webster wickets

Anyone here seen Dumb and Dumber? If not ... maybe don’t, it probably hasn’t aged particularly well ... anyway, the Aussies are now in “so you’re telling me there’s a chance” territory.

Cameron Green is in and looks good, while Mitchell Starc has shown the ability to score quick runs and handle himself in the lower order.

They currently lead by 15 runs. How many do they need to plant the seed of doubt in the minds of the Bangladeshi? Winning on Australian soil would mean so much to them and be such a huge moment in their cricketing history ... at what point would they get nervous? 100-run lead?

Can Green and Starc stick together on what is a good wicket to bat on for another 60-70 runs? Can Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon get the remaining 15?

It would then take an almighty bowling performance and batting collapse, but crazier things have happened.

Let’s stay optimistic for, at least, the next 40 minutes!

Cummins is the latest scalp taken by Mehidy, who is on fire today!

The spinner gets the Aussie skipper to come forward and try to defend a ball just out of reach, chipping it to the Bangladesh fielder at short-leg.

“They are on the edge of something quite historic,” Adam Gilchrist said on Fox.

Australia are now 7-207 and need another 21 runs just to make the visitors bat again in Darwin, with the result becoming almost undeniable.

“This is a wake-up call for Australia and probably one they needed after breezing through last summer,” Alyssa Healy said on commentary.

“They’ve been challenged early and will tell themselves they need to improve in some areas to stay on top of the world.”

Webster is on his way for 5 and the hosts are in serious trouble now.

The towering all-rounder plays all around a cracking ball from Mehidy and is knocked over, clipping Webster’s off-stump.

“That’s a brilliant delivery,” Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

Cummins is out now to partner Green and will need to steady the ship.

“The captain strolls to the crease with the weight of the country on his shoulders,” Brendon Julian said on commentary.
