IND vs AUS Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Day 1 Latest Updates: India are looking to make a good start to the series as they look for a fourth consecutive win ...

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. Regardless of what the spinning wicket is like, it will always be one where Ashwin would be almost unplayable. Right, here are Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins in their Test blazers. We feel we are really well placed. We have had a good prep for the last 5-6 days. - Catch live score and updates of India vs Australia 1st Test Match here.

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.

Australia 2/1 in 1.1 overs Australia 14/2 in 3.4 overs Mohammed Siraj gave India a perfect start in the series by removing Australia opener Usman Khawaja early in the innings. Marnus Labuschagne hits another four in the over off Mohammed Siraj Siraj, bowling his first over of the match, bowled an outswinger to Australia opener Usman Khawaja and hit his pad straightaway with his first delivery of the match. After a maiden over from Mohammed Siraj, Axar came back to bowl another tidy one -- just a single off it. Marnus Labuschagne (15*) and Steven Smith (6*) are in the repairing mode after two early blows and so far added 27 runs for the third wicket. Marnus Labuschagne (28* off 72) looked in good touch today and is targeting Axar Patel to score the odd boundaries for Australia. The pacers Mohammed Siraj (1/13) and Mohammed Shami (1/12) with the wickets for the hosts. Runs are tough to come by for the Aussies, but they are keeping wickets intact for the time being. The Aussie batters Marnus Labuschagne (32*) and Steve Smith (15*) have so far added 55 runs for the third wicket to steady the innings. The Aussie took a review but the decision went in the favour of the hosts.

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.
