IND vs AUS 1st Test, Day 1 Highlights: Wickets galore in Perth as India end the day on top

India made a remarkable comeback to end the first day with an advantage against Australia in the opening Test in Perth on Friday, November 22. Jasprit Bumrah with his captaincy and bowling was at the front and centre of India's fightback with the ball as the visitors look to take a handsome lead.

IND vs AUS 1st Test Live Score: Wickets galore in Perth as India end the day on top

India vs Australia Live Updates: It's not often that so much is riding on one series, but here we are, India take on Australia with careers, reputations and a World Test Championship (WTC) final spot at stake, no less. India will be bruised and heartbroken after the 3-0 hammering at home at the hands of New Zealand, something that hasn't been done before by any team in a three-match series in India. They are without three of their key first-choice stars including skipper Rohit Sharma and if they need inspiration, they don't have to look that far from the 2020/21 series win, which came on the back of the visitors missing seven of their first-choice players. Can this ageing team turn it around with Australia looking for revenge? Should be a cracker! Follow the live updates of 1st IND vs AUS Test-

  • 1:26 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Kohli drops Labuschagne

    Ah that didn't give a good look! Bumrah had started celebrating and even gave Marnus Labuschagne a send-off before realising that Virat Kohli in second slip couldn't hold on to the ball after grabbing it comfortably. This could be a big miss for India.

  • 1:25 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: GONE!! Bumrah gets one

    Jasprit Bumrah has his man. Nathan McSweeney got hit on his pads a couple of times before the Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah had his man after a successful review. McSweeney was caught on his crease but the umpire thought it was hitting outside and didn't give him out before Bumrah took the review and got it overturned.

  • 1:16 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Here we go! Australian openers are in the middle

    Australian openers Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja are in the middle and the only thing India are looking for are wickets, wickets and just wickets. Let's begin!

    Can India come back with a strong response with the ball?

  • 12:53 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Australia have dismantled India completely here! 150 is too low

    KL Rahul, Nitish Reddy and Rishabh Pant showed shades of some good intent and grit and determination but there was no show from the others as India have been dismantled by Australia on the first morning of the Test summer in Perth. 200-250 might have been a bit fighting but 150 seems too low. It could have been even worse but thanks to Reddy and Pant, India have something on the board, something.

  • 12:47 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    All-out!! Khawaja finally holds on

    And Pat Cummins had the last laugh as he dismissed his SRH teammate Nitish Reddy, who presented an excellent case with the bat on his Test debut. Usman Khawaja spilled a sitter a couple of deliveries ago but has held on to it now by running and diving to hold on to it.

  • 12:44 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Fun over, Hazlewood gets Indian captain

    Nitish Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah had some fun in order to score some quick runs but Josh Hazlewood, the pick of the Australian bowlers has sent back the Indian captain. India are now nine down.

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Another wicket!!

    Harshit Rana was constantly poking at the deliveries outside the off-stump. He got a boundary on one and lost his wicket on the other as the combination of Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne picked a stunner in the slips to see the back of India's eighth batter.

  • 12:34 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Cummins sends back dangerous Pant

    And Rishabh Pant's resistance ends. Another one bites the dust as Rishabh Pant tried to take on Cummins but gets a thick edge and Steve Smith was safe in the second slip to take a good catch. India are seven down now.

  • 12:23 PM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: India cross 100

    Rishabh Pant and Nitish Reddy have taken India's score past 100. The partnership has slowly grown and steadied the sinking ship for India but the team will start hoping for a much longer stay from both of them in the middle.

  • 11:43 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Nitish Reddy survives, AUS don't go for a review

    Nitish Reddy has probably received the first debutant's charm as Australia don't go for a review on what looked like clear out. Reddy had gloved a Starc delivery going down the leg side, which was clear on the replays but Australia didn't think it took anything. India still six down, Reddy survives.

  • 11:11 AM (IST) Posted by Aditya Kukalyekar

    OUT!!

    Washington Sundar is OUT and India continue to go down in Perth. 73/6 it is and things are not looking good after choosing to bat first.

  • 10:50 AM (IST) Posted by Kumar Rupesh

    IND vs AUS 1st Test: Wicket!

    Mitchell Marsh strikes! Dhruv Jurel departs after scoring 11. India are 61/5.

  • 10:04 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: LUNCH!!

    India find themselves in a hole at lunch with four wickets down in the first session itself. The last one, the controversial one, of KL Rahul didn't help the proceedings for India are Australia are in control with Starc and Josh Hazlewood taking a couple of wickets each. India have the two stumpers, Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel, in the middle and will hope for a sizeable partnership as the visitors aim a comeback after the lunch break.

  • 9:52 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: WICKET!! Set KL Rahul goes

    KL Rahul was fuming!! Rahul couldn't believe that the umpire gave it out. There was no front-on replay and or the side-on with both bat and pad in the frame. The third umpire was quick to jump the gun as the ball passed near the bat and bat hit the pad just at that very moment. It will be a dismissal that would be talked about as India lose their set batter and fourth wicket.

    India 47/4 (24 overs)

  • 9:45 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    A bit of a breather for India

    Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have safely negotiated the Australian pacers' spells after the fall of Virat Kohli's spell. Australia currently are in firm control and India will need this pair to go big.

  • 9:16 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: WICKET!! Big one of Virat Kohli

    Josh Hazlewood continued to be the most threatening of the Australian bowlers. Hazlewood had his tails up and was continuously bowling in that uncertainty channel and his relentlessness paid off for the second time with a shorter one. Hazlewood banged one in, which surprised Virat Kohli, it took the shoulder of the bat and a simple catch in the slips for Usman Khawaja. The forward press cost him there. India have lost three wickets now. 

    IND - 32/3 (17 overs)

  • 9:11 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Good over for India

    A couple of triplers and an outstanding cover drive from KL Rahul to end the over, a good one for India off Australian captain Pat Cummins. KL Rahul continued to look good as he took his innings forward while Virat Kohli has started well for now.

  • 8:46 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    BCCI has provided an update on Shubman Gill's fitness

  • 8:43 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: WICKET!! This was on the cards

    It was coming! Josh Hazlewood kept bowling in that channel of uncertainty and Devdutt Padikkal, who failed to score a single run in his 23-ball stay as he poked at a delivery outside the off-stump and a simple catch for the wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Padikkal goes for a duck and India have both their left-handers back in the shed.

    India - 14/2 (11 overs)

  • 8:41 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Padikkal looking quite itchy

    Yet to open his account having played more than 20 balls, Devdutt Padikkal is getting a bit iffy and itchy to get his first runs. Padikkal tried a couple of flicks on leg-stump deliveries from Mitchell Starc but missed, but for now has been able to negotiate the Aussie bowlers safely.

  • 8:28 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: Rahul, Padikkal steady

    Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc have tested Indian batters' defence but KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal have somehow been able to negotiate them safely. The period is pretty tricky with the runs being scored at 1.5 rate, however, spending time is more important for the Indian batters at this point.

  • 8:02 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test Live: WICKET!! Starc strikes

    Yashasvi Jaiswal goes for a duck as Mitchell Starc lured him in to play an expansive drive wide outside the off-stump and handed a simple catch to gully and debutant Nathan McSweeney completed a simple catch. Starc has struck early and India have lost the man in form as Jaiswal goes for a duck.

    India - 5/1

  • 7:55 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Here we go! Rahul and Jaiswal are out there in the middle for India

    Indian openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal are in the middle and will be looking to get a good start. The first hour is likely to be tricky on the fresh wicket but if the batters get their eyes in, there are runs to be had.

  • 7:52 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    No Ashwin and Jadeja for India... surprise?

    It was expected that R Ashwin might not play, as he has not been a preferred option with the ball in overseas Tests but Jadeja missing out was a bit of a surprise. India have gone with Washington Sundar as the lone spinner, who with his height offers bounce and slow turn, apart from obviously the batting skills.

  • 7:47 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    IND vs AUS 1st Test pitch report

    Mike Hussey on air reckoned a typical Perth wicket - rock hard, a lot of grass and should offer a lot of bounce. Expect the wicket to deteriorate a bit but not open up 'snake cracks'. The build-up to the Test match has been a bit wet but it was bright and sunny on the morning of the West Test and expectedly the captain winning the toss opted to bat first. The first hour will be tricky and India will hope that KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal can safely negotiate before the middle order comes into the thick of things.

  • 7:38 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Can India land the early blow?

  • 7:37 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    Australia too have a debutant in Nathan McSweeney

    Playing XI: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins(c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

  • 7:37 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    India hand debuts to Nitish Reddy and Harshit Rana

    Playing XI: KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah(c), Mohammed Siraj

  • 7:36 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    India win toss, opt to bat

    Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and opted to bat first on a Perth wicket, which according to him looked good. Bumrah mentioned that the team has some learnings from their only Test appearance at Optus in 2018 and hoped for a good start. Bumrah's Australian counterpart Pat Cummins was 50-50 about the toss and was happy either way and hoped that the bowlers will be able to utilise the moisture after the pitch has been under the covers for the last few days due to overcast weather.

  • 7:33 AM (IST) Posted by Anshul Gupta

    India without regular captain Rohit Sharma

    India will be without regular skipper Rohit Sharma for the series opener in Perth. Even though the skipper is scheduled to arrive in Perth on Sunday after the birth of his second child, Jasprit Bumrah is leading the Indian team for the second time in Test matches.

    World Test Championship points at stake

    Australia despite not playing Test cricket for 8 months have been lifted to the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table, thanks to New Zealand. India with a 3-0 defeat have had their qualification in jeopardy and now need to win 4-0 to make it to the final without depending upon other results. For Australia, the equation is much simpler, win four out of remaining seven Tests.
