Australia vs India

13th over: Australia 29-2 (Smith 6, Labuschagne 14) Siraj gets a spell and Shami returns. Australians will recall the veteran India quick from the 2015 ...

“Sky” has become a people’s hero with his six-hitting in the white ball formats and after 79 first-class matches he will finally gets to pull on the Test shirt for India at the ripe old age of 32. That was a big toss to win and Pat Cummins’ run of luck with the coin has continued. There was much talk in the lead up to this series about Head’s disappointing record on the subcontinent and his plan to combat it with the all-out aggression so successful in the home summer. 3rd over: Australia 6-2 (Smith 0, Labuschagne 0) Even two wickets down after three overs, the names Smith and Labuschagne inspire confidence. His first ball of the series is wide and skids low. He pulls his head in on the last and lets it drop at his feet. He wants more of a look at the leftie and a single is sufficient from this 10th over. However Smith swipes at the fifth ball and pulls it just short of a fielder. 15th over: Australia 33-2 (Smith 6, Labuschagne 19) Shami returns and so does the Australian stalemate. 18th over: Australia 44-2 (Smith 10, Labuschagne 24) Here comes Patel, a slower action to Jadeja but all the venom comes from that final flick of the wrists. 11th over: Australia 27-2 (Smith 6, Labuschagne 14) Siraj steams in for a fifth over, this one to Labuschagne who has now faced twice as many balls as Smith. Australia have broken the deadlock now and the pace is quickening.

Smith 77% after 30 balls. I'm getting the feeling that's because Smith is actively trying to attack the spinners more than Labuschagne is. And at one of those ...

Mushfiqur Rahim and Litton Das are the only other pair to account for more than 10% of their team’s runs. No other pair has proved as prolific for their team in Tests in recent times than this one. All through this partnership, Smith and Labuschagne have been spectacularly decisive.

The duo removed openers Usman Khwaja (1) and David Warner (1) within the first three overs as the ball swung. Mohammed Siraj from his first delivery of the match trapped Usman Khawaja in front of the wickets. So the post-lunch session is underway and Mohammed Shami bowled the first over of the second session. Pat Cummins did win a good toss and opted to bat as batting fourth would be an onerous task on a pitch which will deteriorate as the match progresses. Behind the stumps, debutant wicket-keeper KS Bharat collects the ball in a flash and removes the bails in no time. After Jadeja picking two quick wickets, Steve Smith counter-punching Axar Patel from the other end to keep the scoreboard moving and relive some pressure. The Indian players appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The rest of the Aussie batters Peter Handscomb, Alex Carey and captain Pat Cummins will have to play their part. Ravindra Jadeja is on fire as he has now accounted for the all-important wicket of Steve Smith. So the hard work done by Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith before the Lunch has been undone as Ravindra Jadeja has broken through and picked two wickets off successive deliveries to push Australia on back foot once more. Smith punished Axar for three boundaries in one over to stamp his authority. Bowling again a wicket-to-wicket line around off stump, Jadeja forces Smith to push forward and defend but the ball goes straight through the gap between the bat and the pad and hits the off stumps.

The Aussie took a review but the decision went in the favour of the hosts.

India vs Australia test live: भारत और ऑस्ट्रेलिया के बीच आज बॉर्डर-गावस्कर सीरीज का पहला टेस्ट मैच ...

भारतीय टीम विश्व टेस्ट चैंपियनशिप के फाइनल में पहुंचने के लिए ऑस्ट्रेलिया को हराकर सीरीज अपने नाम करना चाहेगी. वहीं भारतीय टीम पहले टेस्ट में तीन स्पिनर्स के साथ मैदान पर उतर सकती है. वहीं टीम इंडिया ने साल 2012 के बाद से घर में कोई टेस्ट सीरीज नहीं हारी है. अगर वह नागपुर में विकेट चटकाते हैं तो वह मुरलीधरन के बाद सबसे तेज 450 टेस्ट विकेट लेने वाले दूसरे खिलाड़ी होंगे. भारत को आईसीसी टेस्ट चैंपियनशिप के फाइनल में पहुंचने के लिए यह सीरीज जीतना ही होगा. वह 2017 में पुणे में पहला टेस्ट मैच जीतकर सीरीज जीतने की स्थिति में पहुंचा था, लेकिन विराट कोहली की अगुवाई वाली भारतीय टीम ने शानदार वापसी करके 2-1 से सीरीज अपने नाम कर दी थी. वहीं सूर्यकुमार यादव को पहले टेस्ट में डेब्यू करने का मौका मिल सकता है. ऐसे में यह टेस्ट सीरीज उनके लिए काफी महत्वपूर्ण है. बता दें कि टेस्ट में कोहली ने 2019 से शतक नहीं लगाया है. जडेजा ने पहले ओवर की 5वी गेंद पर लाबुशने को आउट किया. ऑस्ट्रेलियाई पारी के 36वें ओवर में रवींद्र जडेजा ने लगातार दो विकेट चटकाये. सीमित ओवरों में अपना लोहा मनवा चुके रोहित शर्मा टेस्ट कप्तान के रूप में अपने कैरियर की सबसे बड़ी परीक्षा से गुजरेंगे.

अक्षर ने 16 टेस्ट पारियों में 47 विकेट अपने नाम किए हैं. शुभमन गिल ओपनिंग के लिए अच्छा विकल्प हैं. अक्षर पटेल की बात करें तो वे 50 टेस्ट विकेट लेने के करीब पहुंच गए हैं. टीम इंडिया के पास मि़डिल ऑर्डर में नंबर 5 के लिए विकल्प कम हैं. रोहित शर्मा की कप्तानी वाली टीम इंडिया के लिए यह सीरीज बेहद खास होगा. पैट कमिंस कैच आउट!! टीम इंडिया ने इस मुकाबले के लिए सूर्यकुमार यादव और श्रीकर भरत को प्लेइंग इलेवन में शामिल किया है. रोहित शर्मा इस मैच में अभी तक 1 छक्के लगा चुके हैं. बल्लेबाज: पैट कमिंस OUT! मैच का पहला दिन पूरी तरह से भारत की पकड़ में है. डॉट गेंद. भारत पहली पारी में ऑस्ट्रेलिया से 100 रन पीछे है.

[David Warner](https://indianexpress.com/about/david-warner/) in the space of six balls; Labuschagne and Renshaw in two. He would sweep and reverse sweep to glory for his 33-ball 36, and it was he who rattled India’s spinners more than Smith and Labuschagne, where the spinners knew that a killer ball was lurking and it was a matter of pressing and probing. In doing so, he might have laid the blueprint of batting on this surface, which would progressively get worse for batting as the surface wears on and the redness beneath turns the more prominent colour. [Steve Smith](https://indianexpress.com/about/steve-smith/) and Pat Cummins.

They get carried away and end up getting frustrated, lose control over their plan and mess up with the lengths. He was not often, rather he was hitting boundaries off even semi-loose balls and trusting his percentage strokes and defence. [Ravindra Jadeja](https://indianexpress.com/about/ravindra-jadeja/) would later say: “This wasn’t a rank turner. Maybe, India’s spinners simply bowled better, tighter and sharper, though without any doubt this was a challenging surface to bat. Maybe, Australia were a fraction overcautious in phases in the first session. Perhaps, this was a case of batsman’s skills providing the pitch a harmless makeover.

Todd Murphy will make his Test debut on Thursday while Travis Head has been sensationally dropped as Australia begin its four-Test tour of India in Nagpur ...

Lyon has played 24 Tests in Asia for 118 wickets at an average of 32.28. I think spin makes him play every single ball and brings in (multiple dismissal options). Nathan Lyon has had particular success against Kohli, picking up his wicket four times at an average of 23.25. He’s reportedly told teammates he will go rightie in the Test – likely when coming up against India’s two left-arm orthodox spinners in Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel. He has three half-centuries with a top score of 71. It's worth mentioning, since he’s been spotted in the nets batting right-handed. Usman Khawaja (1) was dismissed LBW in the second over by an inswinger from Mohammed Siraj. It’s another challenge and makes touring over here even harder when you know the conditions are custom-made for them.” It appears to be a clear ploy to give bowlers an advantage against left-handed batters – with five of Australia’s top seven lefties, compared to just one Indian batter. “That’s part of the challenge of playing away. “Embracing the chaos.

Jadeja took the wickets of the three batters who looked assured: Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and Peter Handscomb. Rohit Sharma led India's reply with 56 off ...

He had cashed in on early wickets, and then had worn out the spinners to draw the errors. Just when it looked like Cummins had got the control back with a maiden to KL Rahul, his second over contained two leg-side offerings for Rohit. Both Jadeja and Ashwin had a shot at a five-for with three wickets, a sight missed for a while as Jadeja last played a home Test in March. Smith got into the habit of defending for big turn but one turned only slightly to hold its line in front of off and beat his inside edge to knock back the off stump. It was an unfortunate time for their best bowler and captain Cummins to have perhaps his worst day with the ball. Eventually Carey played on a reverse-sweep to give Ashwin his 450th Test wicket and end a 53-run partnership in just 11.1 overs.. The second half of the first session was bowled by spinners, but Labuschagne and Smith were equal to the task. The ball turned immediately for Jadeja, and India brought back control through a combination of pace and spin. Labuschagne and Smith managed to hit four boundaries in the next three overs, which brought about a double change: Jadeja and Axar Patel. The one to get Labuschagne was perhaps the best delivery. [Ravindra Jadeja](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravindra-jadeja-234675)made a triumphant return to international cricket with his 11th five-wicket haul to help bowl Australia out for 177 on the first day of the much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The rhythms of Australia's innings were typical of a turning track.

37th over: India 117-1 (Rohit 73, Ashwin 22) Will it be a sweet 16th for Nathan Lyon? He is 0-55, bowling to a Rohit Sharma in murderous form and wicketless ...

Bit of a muddle between the India batters on ball four as Rohit runs for a single despite it being Ashwin’s call. Eight runs from the over and India are in overdrive now. 36th over: India 115-1 (Rohit 72, Ashwin 21) As the partnership heads towards 40, Scott Boland barrels in to Ravi Ashwin who is into the twenties and growing in confidence. – Rohit hooks it off his eyebrows into the grandstand to uproar from the fans. Lyon tosses the fourth one up a little more and it worries Rohit and draws a yelp of excitement from wicketkeeper Alex Carey. What a bittersweet experience this must be for Agar, to be on the field but unable to bowl. As if Covid in his Test recall in January and that golden duck in the first dig didn’t batter Renshaw’s confidence enough now he’s heading to hospital for scans! Instead, Rohit flicks the final ball of the over past Boland at leg slip and all the way to the boundary. Pujara is quickly out of the blocks with six runs from his first five balls and Rohit Sharma has rocketed along to 73. So much so that Murphy completely flummoxed KL late in the day and he popped a return catch. First ball of the new Murphy over strays onto leg and it’s easy pickings for Rohit Sharma who clips it off his toes for a sweet boundary. Australia with their tail up and the dream debut for 22-year-old off spinner Todd Murphy continues.
