Australia dominate day one
After losing the toss and being asked to bowl first the Aussies ripped India out for just 109 runs in a little over thirty overs, it was death by spin for the home side’s batters on a venomous wicket.
Mathew Kuhnemann returned career best figures of 5-16 and was backed up by Nathan Lyon who chipped in with three wickets, including the below snorter to Cheteshwar Pujara – Lyon has now pocketed Pujara a dozen times in Test matches.

Hoping to inflict the same damage on the visitors - India fluffed their lines. Too short or too full and lacking the consistency to extract the best out of the wicket they were patiently picked off by Khawaja and Labuschagne. Both fell before the close but with the lead already at 47 runs it was a green n’ gold day in Indore.
That’s it from us, thanks to Angus for the earlier stint and ta for all the emails and correspondence. We’ll be back tomorrow to bring you day two. Toodles!
