Sports desk: Maxwell and Lyon strike with key wickets of Tamim Iqbal (71) and Shakib-Al -Hasan (84) respectively in middle session to keep Bangladesh on top in the 1st Test at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka.
Bangladesh pair Shakib and Tamim Iqbal steadied the ship through much of the first half of the day after a lethal spell from speedster Pat Cummins .
The 155-run stand between danger men Shakib and Tamim was much-needed after Cummins left Bangladesh reeling at 3-10 off four overs.
Earlier, Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim won the toss and elected to bat first.
