Aug 13 (Reuters) - Bangladesh savoured ⁠their first taste of test cricket in Australia in 23 ⁠years on Thursday as they skittled the world's top-ranked side ‌for less than 200 and moved to stumps in command at 96 for one on the first day of the series-opener in Darwin.

Hasan Mahmud was the standout performer on ​a famous day for Bangladesh pace bowling, ⁠taking 6-55 at Marrara Oval ⁠to rout Pat Cummins's team for 198, their lowest innings total in ⁠seven ‌tests against the South Asian side.

Barring Steve Smith, who top-scored with 71, it was a poor batting display by Australia, ⁠with under-pressure opener Jake Weatherald (23) squandering a start and ​all-rounder Cameron Green's ‌13-ball 13 set to deepen doubts about his place in ⁠the team.

"Yeah, not ​our best. Still plenty of cricket to be played, obviously," said Smith.

"It would have been nice to have taken a few more (wickets). So, hopefully we ⁠start well in the morning, pick up ​a few early ones and put a pressure on."

By contrast, Bangladesh's top order batted with impressive resilience, foiling Australia's elite attack of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, ⁠Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon as the pitch flattened out under a baking sun in the afternoon.

Starc made the sole breakthrough, removing Shadman Islam for 20, but opener Tanzid Hasan (32 not out) and number ​three Mominul Haque (35 not out) combined in a ⁠60-run partnership to see Bangladesh safely to stumps.

Starc's dismissal of Shadman, coaxing ​a leading edge that Lyon caught at ‌cover point, made him the most prolific ​among left-arm bowlers with 434 wickets, moving past Sri Lanka spinner Rangana Herath.
