IND vs AUS 1st Test, Live: Indian batters off the line

In a strange turn of events, Indian batters were unable to open their scoring till the third over. In Josh Hazlewood’s fourth over, KL Rahul finally opens his arms and hammers a shot through the cover, stealing three runs. After Yashasvi Jaiswal’s shock dismissal due to duck, Devdutt Padikkal has joined KL Rahul. The duo should form a good partnership.

IND 8/1 (4 surpluses)

OUT!!! WHAT A LEAF FOR INDIA!!! Mitchell Starc gave Australia a huge breakthrough when he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for duck.

However, the ball hits the edge and goes straight to Nathan McSweeney, who then takes a simple catch at gully. First wicket gone for India.

IND 5/1 (2.1 surpluses)
