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.

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.

While the plan with the ball was to be disciplined and patient, the Australians would need to be more proactive with the bat, otherwise they would be a sitting duck for Harbhajan or Anil Kumble. “What we felt was a good option was to maybe attack the stumps more,” Gillespie said, “which in turn bowls to the India batters’ strengths. The Australians were armed with a new bowling game plan, but first had to set the tone with the bat having won the toss for the first Test in Bengaluru. “I speak from a bowling point of view, we learnt that you couldn’t bowl like you bowl in Australia on the subcontinent, which we tried to do in ’01.” Sure enough, Gilchrist was elevated to the top role and tasked with the massive assignment of plotting an Australian Test series win in India. In the first part of a three-part series on foxsports.com.au, Australia legends Adam Gilchrist and Jason Gillespie reflect on the first Test of the 2004 Border-Gavaskar Series. Earlier – and in many ways, this remains the case – the holy grail was winning a big away Test series, with India being the toughest place to tour.

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.

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.

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.

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.
