Australia End Day One at 40/0
David Warner and Matt Renshaw ensured that Australia have a perfect day in the office. They scored 40 runs and more importantly didn’t lose their wickets until the end of day’s play.
India were earlier bundled out for 189 runs, courtesy Nathan Lyon, who picked up eight wickets for 50 runs.
Rahane Drops Warner
Ishant Sharma manages to get David Warner’s edge and the ball flies to Ajinkya Rahane at gully. The Mumbai batsman made the dive at the right time, but couldn’t hold on to the catch.
David Warner and Matt Renshaw have got Australia off to a positive start. They have scored 22 runs in seven overs without losing a wicket.
India Fold For 189 Runs
Well, have the Australians taken a big step towards taking a 2-0 lead, or is it too early to tell? Nevertheless, India will be very disappointed with their score of 189 runs in the first innings.
Nathan Lyon was the star of the Australian bowling line-up with figures of 8/50. KL Rahul was the only Indian batsmen, who got set, but got dismissed due to a poor shot in the end.
He would have carried his bat, had he not been out caught for 90 runs to Nathan Lyon. If Australia manage to get a lead of 50 runs, India could be under a lot of pressure.
Jadeja Departs For Three Runs
Nathan Lyon picks up his sixth wicket! Jadeja snicked the ball onto his pads and the ball looped to Steve Smith at slip. Rahul may get stranded at the other end before he gets to his century!
India: 188/8 after 70 overs.
