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.

India v Australia: first Test, day one – live (The Guardian)

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.

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.

Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are the likely contenders for that spot, but vice-captain KL Rahul was silent on the playing XI during a press-conference on Tuesday. Should India win by a 3-0, 3-1 or a 4-0 margin, they would all but be assured a spot in the WTC final. It’s going to be a tough decision to make. “We still haven’t decided on the final XI. This series adds of more importance to both teams with spots at the ICC World Test Championship at stake.

Ashwin to bat at the end of the day's play. 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. Australian skipper Cummins threw in every option that he had, but nothing tends to work once Rohit starts to find the middle of his bat. The bounce was certainly on the lower side, but as far as the turn is concerned, it was all happening in Australia's head. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma looked at utter ease as he came out to bat with Indian vice-captain KL Rahul. Matters related to the turf in Nagpur made headlines, but honestly, it did not live up to its past reputation.
