Pat Cummins, Nathan Lyon and Ashton Agar took three wickets apiece as the baggy greens skittled out their hosts for 260, but Bangladesh hit back in the final nine overs of the day to limit the tourists to 18 for three at stumps.
Home captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to bat but that decision backfired as his side were reduced to 10 for three. Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal responded with half-centuries to record a stand of 155.
