So, Australia cross borders. Bangladesh cross oceans. And we cross the office gates to head home. I am Vineet Anantharaman bidding goodbye, along with Akshay Maanay, Sreenivas and Shashikant Singh. It was a pleasure bringing you this Test series and we hope you enjoyed it as much. A loud shout out to all your comments that kept us engaged all through as well. Ta ta!!

And..they get the cup - pretty small in size when compared to stuff you get in the sub-continent. Another cup that Bangladesh are yet to get their hands fully on against Australia. Neither side look particularly happy, only relief on one side, a disappointment of what might have been on the other. It could be a look for the cameras you never know. And the pose for tomorrow's newspaper brings out the beam.

Nathan Lyon and David Warner are the Men of the Series

Stats round-up:
- 13/154 by Nathan Lyon - Second best match figures for a visiting bowler in Asia after 13/106 by Ian Botham against India at Mumbai(WS) in 1980. The previous best for AUS was 12/70 by Steve O'Keefe in Pune earlier this year.

- Most wkts in a two-Test series:
23 R Herath v Pak, 2014
22 Muralitharan v SA, 2006
22 Nathan Lyon v Ban, 2017

- The last time before today Australia won a Test in Asia after losing the toss was also against Bangladesh at the same venue 11 years ago.

- Lyon became the ninth bowler to take six wkts in three successive innings and second Australian after Clarrie Grimmett (in 1931-32 & in 1936) to do so.

Nathan Lyon and David Warner are the Men of the Series

David Warner: It was taken this approach from my past team mate Chris Rogers' book. It took me around 15 Tests to work around my pattern on conditions like these. It has come off and it is nice to play well for the team. I had to overcome battles in my mind on how to approach the game. I hadn't had much of success in conditions like these and we fought back hard from the first game. Keeping my patience and working hard paid off.

Nathan Lyon and David Warner are the Men of the Series. The things sponsors and organizers do when you have performances as prolific as these. Or to avoid awkward moments.

Nathan Lyon, Man of the Match: It was a really good wicket to bowl on, especially spin. Credit goes to our batters for the way they batted and set it up for us. It was a really special performance by the bowling group. We all know that we haven't had the best of success in the sub-continent; it was important for us to come here as a young group and stand up. Bangladesh are a classy side and it is a positive result for us. I only try and win games for Australia and pick wickets for the team. Bowling in partnerships is important and it was fun. I am not like David Warner to count personal successes(**chuckles**)

Steven Smith: I thought we played some good cricket at times in this Test match. The first innings, our bowling to restrict them to what we did was a real good effort. Lyon took 22 wickets in this series and that's incredible, it was a good wicket and there wasn't much for him. We could have taken a bigger lead in the first innings but credit to Bangladesh, they really made us fight in this series. For us, the batting collapses have become a regular occurrence and it is something we need to rectify. We get ourselves in good positions and cannot go on with it. It is nice to get to a 1-1 draw. The conditions here are a bit different to what we are going to get back home; we know the conditions back home for the Ashes pretty well. We are going to India and then home for the Ashes. Pat Cummins cranked it up today which is a great sign for us. Davey Warner was exceptional in the second innings in Dhaka and out here as well. Handscomb too was excellent too and that partnership set up the game for us. Thank you for having us.

Musfiqur Rahim: Credit goes to the Australians, we know that they are a strong side and we knew that they would come back hard. The wicket in the first innings was pretty good and a couple of soft dismissals cost us out there. We had to score around 350-400 in the first innings and that cost us the game. There are plenty of areas for improvement whether we win or lose. When we go to South Africa the conditions would be very different and we'd need to adjust, come up with new plans and execute well. I thought Lyon bowled brilliantly, got bounce from the rough and did not give us free balls. The other bowlers also kept things very tight. If the situation comes up again, we would look to adjust and learn from this. It is a team game and a couple of guys put their hands up. Sadly a couple of them did not do it in this game. It can happen in Tests. Shakib and Tamim are positive signs, Mustafizur bowled superbly in the first innings and hopefully we would go well in South Africa.

All the chatter ends in very generous handshakes. Some patting and words of praise too passed on as both sides line up for the final rites. Nathan Lyon comes out, extracts a stump. A pity he couldn't extract this pitch. He has to shield his voice, long sermons are to be made and he is surely one of the chief guests. Hang on, the presentations coming up..

The stuff of champions. The moment it comes onto their ego, they fight natural instincts, records, conditions, humidity and dehydration to come back hard. Such a shame that we do not have a decider third match. But Bangladesh would rue the lost opportunities - especially the six dropped chances. Those moments of madness on the evening of the second day when they refused to attack and allowed Handscomb and Warner to steal the scales in their favour, forget tilt. And Nathan Lyon - the flagbearer of classical off-spin, without anything fancy - with yet another fifer, this time to end up on the right side of snatching victory.

15.3

Nasir Hossain to Maxwell, SIX, a slog. A slog that snatches victory. On a knee, under the length toss up and the free-flowing long levers put it into the sky and parabolic over cow corner. Australia have their 144th overseas Test victory - the most equaling the Poms. What's more, they level equations

15.2

Nasir Hossain to Maxwell, FOUR, the angry wrists. A savage cut. Laps up the half tracker, with no pace at all on it. Compounds the misery on it further, going back and hammers it in front of point

15.1

Nasir Hossain to Maxwell, no run, nice high elbows, through the line in a drive to mid-off

Nasir Hossain, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

14.6

Shakib to Maxwell, 1 run, gets the nudge in the gap in front of square. Enough to keep the strike to himself. 10 away

14.5

Shakib to Maxwell, 2 runs, Shakib looks for the rough down leg. Maxwell doesn't believe in offering the bat or going across the line. So he reverses. Connects for a change, before third man mops it up

14.4

Shakib to Handscomb, 1 run, slipping down. Helped around the corner, in the form of a tuck

14.3

Shakib to Handscomb, no run, short leg once again, with a further opened up stance and a drop
