IND vs AUS

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.

Sri Lanka's spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan was the fastest to reach 450 Test wickets, achieving it in his 80th Test match. Ashwin finished with figures of 3/42 and has taken his tally to 452 wickets. In the process, Ashwin also overtook Kumble to become the fastest Indian bowler and second overall to reach 450 Test wickets.

Pat Cummins was made to toil by the Indian bowlers as the Australian captain could only manage 6 runs in 14 balls before being the victim of the spinner.

Australia hasn't managed to win a Test on Indian soil since 20024 and Virat Kohli will not leave any stones unturned to bridge the gap between both teams. The Indian spinners then took on the Aussie batsmen with some fiery turners as Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin wrapped up the remaining part of the Aussie batting lineup. R Ashwin has a number of tricks under his sleeves and the star off-spinner used one of his primary ammunition to have the opponent skipper Pat Cummins caught at first slip during the first innings.

As of now, India are trailing by 100 runs and if Australia are to challenge the hosts, they will have to find a way out on the second day to make inroads into the Indian batting lineup. The Indian fans also enjoyed the outing as numerous supporters caught the action live at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium. India dominated the proceedings with 77/1 at the board on stumps after bowling Australia out for 177.

Coming back to the international fold after a five-month layoff, the southpaw returned with a fifer to bowl Australia out for 177.

Ashwin, though, had topped him with 29 in 2013 but it came down to 21 in the next series four years later. Above all, the visitors seemed to have prepared well ahead of the series as they flew in an R Ashwin impersonator to the nets during their short camp in Alur, Bengaluru ahead of the series. Agreed, their side is packed with left-handers (total five, four in top eight) and the strip was apparently designed to trouble them. As he said on the eve of the match, he had no hesitation in batting first on a surface where batting in the fourth innings is expected to be extremely difficult. To begin with, all talk surrounding the VCA Stadium pitch in Jamtha, Nagpur gave way to hope as the day started on a positive note for the Aussies. It will be too early to draw a conclusion with the four-match Test series just a day old.

IND vs AUS: India dominated Day 1 of the first test match in Nagpur. At stumps on day 1, India are at 77/1 and trail by 100 runs.

"I was going wide off the crease and coming close to the stumps and some deliveries if they stepped out and it turned, there would always be a chance. But that's the nature of Test cricket," Jadeja said at the end of the day's play. Meanwhile, Jadeja has opened up on his performance and also the pitch, which was said to be a 'rank turner.'

Back after a five-month injury break, the left-arm spinner takes 5/47 to help India bowl Australia out for 177 | Cricket.

The pressure was always on and in the end, it told a story of its very own. Jadeja, the hero of the day, felt the wicket was ‘slow and low’. It's just that the visitors don't have a Jadeja to help them along. A series of flighted balls followed by one that came in with the angle. The allrounder has 177 home wickets at an average of 20.34 and he once again gave us a reminder of why he is so good. The batter, on 49, was tempted and pulled out of his crease and the razor-sharp stumping was completed by debutant KS Bharat. “All the balls were not turning and the bounce was low. Australia were down to 2/2 and in trouble. Jadeja was one of the bowlers Australia feared would benefit from the unrolled patch outside the left-hander's off-stump. On Day 1, the Australian innings lasted a little over two sessions and more than half the deliveries that the visitors faced were dealt with by Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. And while we appreciate those gifts, the core of his genius sometimes gets a little lost in the mad hustle that is white-ball cricket. The longer format has a way of peeling away the layers and revealing your true character.

At stumps, the hosts are in a strong position at 77 for 1 with captain Rohit Sharma batting on 56. Ashwin also became just the ninth bowler in Test cricket to enter the 450-wicket club. The 35-year-old wily off-spinner is the second fastest bowler to reach the mark in 88 Tests.
