As stated earlier, it's Test cricket time! It's Test cricket time! India and Australia have played each other in 12 series, 50 Test matches to be sure before the contest was given its current name in 1996/97. Ian Healy found an early way of absolving Australia of any wrongdoing incase they get pancaked in this series by stating that a defeat for the visitors will occur if India produce “unfair” pitches. Pat Cummins: "I think that's part of the challenge of playing away. There was the brain fade moment where Steve Smith looked towards the dressing room while contemplating whether to take a DRS or not, leading to Virat Kohli stepping just short of calling them cheats.

India v Australia: first Test, day one – live (The Guardian)

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.

Live Report - India vs Australia, 1st Test, Nagpur (ESPNcricinfo.com)

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.

TEA: Australia 174/8. The session saw Australia score 98 runs but also lose five wickets. Handscomb remains resolute at one end but Australia run the risk ...

And to add the cherry on the top, Shami strikes at the other end. That's to look forward to in the next hour. It's a series that will need little building up given how the interest level has been overall. Alongside the theme of Australia's batting is [this feature on what their biggest challenge](/cricket-news/125398/australias-biggest-challenge-in-india) in India will be. India have hit back with a double strike in the second session. With his first ball of the innings, Siraj bags Khawaja. Carey has played an assortment of sweeps, reverse sweeps and drives to lead the way. Steve Smith was looking to take the attack to India, hitting Axar Patel for three boundaries in an over. Australia will rely on a better bowling performance tomorrow to mount a challenge, with the wicket still offering a lot to the bowlers. R Ashwin leaves Scott Boland fumbling against a carrom ball and has him bowled to finish with a three-wicket haul. Handscomb remains resolute at one end but Australia run the risk of being wrapped up rather quickly in the final session. That helped him get to a quick start.

LIVE UPDATES, IND Vs AUS, 1st Test, BGT 2023: Stay tuned to this space for the latest updates and live scores of India vs Australia 1st Test match.

With the Aussies in danger of getting bowled out under 150, wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey played a beautiful counter-attacking knock (36 off 33) that gave the visitors something to bowl at in the first innings. For Australia, Steve Smith was once again among the runs before getting dismissed to a terrific delivery by Jadeja and he along with Marnus Labuschagne for a brief period of time gave a batting masterclass on how to play good quality spin in the first session. KL Rahul would be disappointed with his dismissal that came in the second last over of the day but Ravichandran Ashwin, who was sent in as the nightwatchman ensured that there was no further inroads.

India Vs Australia Day 1, 1st Test LIVE Cricket Scorecard and Updates: Rohit Sharma's side will face Pat Cummins-led Aussies in the first of four matches ...

1 T20 batter Suryakumar will play his first match with the red-ball vs Australia in the 1st Test in Nagpur. The first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 will starts on February 9 in Nagpur. As per AccuWeather, the Day 1 of the first Test match between India and Austrlia is unlikely to get spoiled by rain. Shubman Gill and Travis Head have been dropped by India and Australia respectively from the Playing XI for the 1st Test in Nagpur. Team India are in the race to reach the ICC World Test Championships final, which will take place from June 7 at the Oval in London. Out of those two, Australia have won one in 2017 and England have won the other in 2021. Team India skipper Rohit Sharma looked in fine rhythm on Day 1 of the 1st Test between India and Australia. He will be aiming to bounce back to Test match form with a hundred here in Nagpur vs Australia which will certainly give him confidence for the remaining 9 innings. What a second session for India in which they picked up 6 wickets, four to Jadeja and 2 to Ashwin respectively. Ravindra Jadeja was at his absolute best on Day 1 of 1st Test at Nagpur, picking up his 11th fifer in the format. Whether it is the start of innings, or the end of a day in a Test match or when he is nearing a ton, he always gets a little anxious and eventually gets into two minds. The 22 yards in Nagpur for the Test match has been the topic of hot discussion in the build-up to this game, with the track likely to take spin early on.
