India versus Australia

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 Score IND vs AUS 1st Test: Rohit Sharma continues to bat with a positive intent here as India have comfortably crossed the 50-run mark.

India have to register a 4-0 or 3-1 win over Australia to seal a place in the summit clash. The wait for the mega Border-Gavaskar Trophy is over as two cricketing powerhouses India and Australia lock horns in the series opener on Friday. On the other hand, India are playing three sinners, and a couple of pacers and the likes of Suryakumar and KS Bharat make their debuts. After getting beaten on a couple of occasions, Rohit Sharma decided to charge down the ground and put pressure back on Nathan Lyon with a six to finish the over. Opening runs for India as captain Rohit Sharma goes off the mark. KL Rahul is looking a bit short of confidence here as taking his time to get set in the middle. So finally, Australia bring in their ace off-spinner, Nathan Lyon into the attack and KL Rahul faces him. Rohit Sharma continues to bat with a positive intent here as India crossed the 50-run mark quite comfortably. The right-arm spinner has good control over his pace, line and length and can cause some trouble to the Indian batters as the game progress. It has been a good day for India so far as they have dominated all the session so far. The spinners have hit the strict line and lengths but failed to get any wicket so far. KL Rahul looks a bit cautious with his approach but it’s going well for India at the moment with Rohit playing his shots freely.

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 Labuschangne for a brief period of time gave a batting masterclass on how to play good quality spin. 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 is no further inroads.
