- India vs Australia Highlights, 1st Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul hit half-centuries as India finished the day in a dominating position.
India vs Australia 1st Test Highlights: Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his class with an unbeaten 90 and KL Rahul displayed great composure with his 62* as India built a solid 218-run lead over Australia to take control of the game at stumps on Day 2. Jaiswal faced 193 balls while Rahul fended off 153 to steer India to 172 without loss as Australia tried hard to break the stand but failed miserably. ...Read More
Earlier, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood's 11th-wicket stand ended right at the stroke of Lunch with Harshit Rana dismissing the former. Starc grinded it out for 112 balls and scored 26 runs while Hazlewood stayed unbeaten on seven off 31 balls. The last-wicket stand lasted as many as 110 balls and produced 25 runs and Australia were all out for 104 runs. Rana finished with figures of 3/48 in 15.2 overs on debut while Mohammed Siraj returned 2/20. The star for India, by some distance, was their incredible captain Jasprit Bumrah who recorded figures of 5/30 in 18 overs.
Rana earlier dismissed Nathan Lyon to reduce Australia down to their last wicket after Jasprit Bumrah struck with his first ball of the day with the all-important wicket of Alex Carey. Those early strikes put India well on course to taking a big lead on Day 2 of the first Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy despite being all out for just 150 runs batting first on the first day. Starc and Hazlewood nibbled a few runs off that lead though and slowed the game down to a crawl but India remain on top going into the second session.
Cricket fans could not have asked for a better start to the highly-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with 17 wickets falling on the first day of play and setting up what is certain to be an absolute classic of a low-scoring Test match between India and Australia. With Australia going into stumps at 67/7, they found themselves in a world of trouble at Stumps despite wreaking havoc with the ball in the early part of day’s play at the Optus Stadium in Perth. They now have their backs against the wall, and Alex Carey was looking to piece together crucial runs with the tail.
Carey, who has been the in-form batter for Australia in Test cricket in recent months, held the key to the contest heading into the second morning in Perth. Bumrah ended up making light work of him and that brought out Nathan Lyon to give Mitchell Starc company. Australia's tail-enders are known to be very capable batters themselves, though, and so India would know that they still have a job to do if they are to get a strong lead.
Conversely, that is exactly what the hosts will want from Carey’s supporters in the shape of the tailenders left at their disposal. Carey is a fine batter with the tail, and his ability to stitch together runs will be crucial if Australia want to catch up to India’s total and put the pressure right back on India’s batters in the third innings. However, India will be in high spirits and have the momentum after a remarkable comeback despite the batting failure earlier in the day. With Bumrah looking in tremendous touch with the ball, and Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana also contributing with big wickets, India know they have a narrow edge, which they will be looking to hammer home.
With the potential of Carey and company looking to attack, India will also be aware of the potential of leaking quick runs to the Aussie tail, which would dull the edge with which they were playing late on day one. Keeping control of the scoring rate will be the focus if wickets prove tougher to come by on the day two pitch. Nevertheless, India’s focus heading into day two will be on the batting side. With the batting bailed out by the bowling performance, the lineup has a second chance to come good after a failure that has become too common for the likes of Virat Kohli. More will be expected of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who will want to stave off the concerns about his ability in SENA conditions, as well as Devdutt Padikkal, who looked out of sorts against the new ball while batting at number three.
With there being plenty of spice in the pitch and the new ball acting up in both the innings, it will require a lot of concentration and patience from India’s top order to make good on this advantage that the bowling has provided. From an Australian perspective, the order of the day will be more of the same with ball, with the lines, lengths, and pace of the main seam trio as well as Mitchell Marsh causing plenty of chaos against India.
India’s first innings got off to a terrible start as Jaiswal was dismissed wafting loosely at a ball outside off stump and caught at gully, before Padikkal feathered through a thin edge to Carey behind the stumps. Virat Kohli fell to a short delivery from Hazlewood, with extra bounce climbing up on him and looping a simple catch through to the slips cordon.
Though KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant tried to reconstruct the innings, Rahul was given out by the third umpire in contentious circumstances, despite it seeming as if he had missed the ball and snicko had registered his bat hitting pad. India continued to lose wickets after that, as Dhruv Jurel and Washington Sundar fell early. Pant and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy counterpunched with some quick runs, with good shotmaking on display as they took the attack to Australia. However, Pant’s wicket against the run of play flipped the advantage back in Australia’s favour, who were able to plug away at the tail despite Reddy looking in strong touch.
With the ball, Bumrah’s opening burst saw him receive adulations from all corners of the cricket world, as he continued to establish his status as the best impact bowler in international cricket. Debutant Nathan McSweeney was the first to depart, before he accounted for Usman Khawaja and became only the second bowler to dismiss Steve Smith for a golden duck in Test cricket.
The dangerous Travis Head scored a few quick boundaries, but a peach of a delivery by Harshit Rana awarded the bowler his maiden Test wicket and put India in the driving seat. Mitchell Marsh was dismissed by Siraj, who also ended Marnus Labuschagne’s long and drawn-out spell at the crease with a couple of great deliveries. Bumrah removed Pat Cummins near the end of play, and Australia added some boundaries in the final couple of overs to go into stumps trailing by 83 runs.
Here are some important pointers related to Day 2 of the 1st Test:
- India in cruise control in 2nd inns, reach 172/0 (Y Jaiswal 90*, KL Rahul 62*) at Stumps on Day 2, lead Australia (104) by 218 runs in Perth

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: What Marnus Labuschagne bowling the penultimate over of the session means...
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: As many as 17 wickets fell yesterday but we are now done with the first two sessions of Day 2 and only three have fallen. None of those are Indian. We haven't often seen India managing to keep their top five intact before crossing 60 in the past few Tests but their openers have got them to 84 now. So blunted was Australia's attack that they had to bring in Marnus Labuschagne. To add salt to wounds, he got a warning for veering on to parts of the pitch that umpires are supposed to guard with their lives. Quite a remarkable turnaround this and India seem set for a huge lead here.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: TEA! India 84/0, lead by 130 runs
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: A deflating session for Australia and India, on the other hand, finally finding some stability with the bat. Rahul works the last ball of that session from Lyon quite comfortably and he walks back on 34 off 70, Jaiswal on 42 off 88. The Australians could hardly get a look in during that session. Whenever they did, which was the few times that either of these two batters edged the ball, it didn't carry to the keeper or the cordon.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Australia get a couple of maidens on the bounce
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: But well, the fact that Rahul just pushed the next ball after those two overs into a gap in the offside for two shows just how little the Indians are being bothered by any dot balls in this innings. Starc and Lyon keep Rahul and Jaiswal pinned in the 21st and 22nd overs respectively. Then Rahul runs a single after running the aforementioned two, Jaiswal takes a single off the fourth ball. Rahul on 32 off 64, Jaiswal on 39 off 76.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Some spice between Jaiswal and Starc!
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Rahul pierces the gap between slips and gully second ball of that over from Starc, 19th of the Indian innings. The batters run three and then Jaiswal met a 141kph full one from Starc with a big slog sweep getting down one knee. It was timed perfectly as well and it takes a bounce before going over the boundary for four. Then a full one outside off from Starc, Jaiswal goes for a big cover drive, it goes past his outside edge to the wicketkeeper. Starc smiles and stares at Jaiswal, the batter returns the stare. Then Starc shakes his head and walks back, Jaiswal shakes his head as well. Jaiswal stays inside the line of the next ball and defends. "It is coming on too slow," he says after that, don't know if that was a jibe at Starc, who was out of earshot as he walked back to the top of his mark by then, or a piece information for Rahul. He leaves the last ball. Jaiswal is on 37 off 66, Rahul on 27 off 50. What an opening stand this is turning out to be.
India 72/0 in 19 overs, lead by 117 and now, Australia bring in Nathan Lyon for the first over of spin

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Gorgeous cover drive for four from Jaiswal, India bossing this
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Starc returns for his fifth over in the 17th in place of Cummins, who had bowled five overs on the bounce. The fifth ball is almost exactly the same as the one that got Jaiswal out yesterday, same can be said of the batter's shot, except that this one goes to cover safely. Then Starc pitches a touch fuller, Jaiswal brings out just the most perfect looking cover drive, looks even better because he is a leftie, it races away to the boundary.
Jaiswal is on 32 off 57, Rahul on 22 off 46 balls

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Marsh bowls the first over after drinks, Jaiswal off strike first ball again and then Rahul emphatically hooks the second ball over square leg. It was a harmless short ball, there to be hit for someone of Rahul's calibre. Two runs off the next ball and then a gigantic overstep from Marsh fourth ball. No runs after that though and Rahul is on 18 off 40, Jaiswal on 18 off 45.

Jaiswal gets off strike first ball, Rahul defends the second ball to the bowler. Cummins goes full on off third ball, Rahul punches it right down the ground for a four. Just a beautiful sight that. Cummins responds with any angry bouncer, Rahul tries to hook but misses. He defends the next ball and lets the last one go. Rahul is on 12 off 34, Jaiswal on 17 off 44.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Lead inches past 75
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Well those two consecutive maidens became three but then and three runs have come off the next two overs, with Starc returning with a change of ends for the 12th. But make no mistake, this doesn't seem to have fazed Rahul or Jaiswal one bit. They are calmly picking off the rare runs whenever they come. Rahul is on eight off 29, Jaiswal is on 16 off 43.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: The tireless Hazlewood keeps Jaiswal pinned in the eighth over and Cummins then keeps Rahul down in the ninth and so that is the first time in this innings that Australia have strung two maidens in a row.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Jaiswal with a glorious shot for four
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Wow it's almost like these two were batting in a different country yesterday. But then Starc and Hazlewood did survive 110 balls in the morning and so maybe the pitch has eased off. Or maybe Rahul and Jaiswal figured out what to do and what not standing in the cordon in the first session. Whatever it is, they aren't being troubled at all thus far by Australia's premier pacers. Cummins goes short of a length second ball of his first over, Jaiswal leans back, opens the face of the bat and sends the ball careening through backward point for a four. Defends the next two balls solidly and then takes a single after pushing a full delivery into empty space off side. Rahul then defends the last ball well to backward point. Jaiswal is on 15 off 26, Rahul on seven off 16.
India 27/0, lead by 73 runs

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Lead close to 70, Cummins brings himself on
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: India were ragged by the time Pat Cummins made the first change and brought himself on yesterday. The opposite can be said of today. Rahul and Jaiswal have been proactice, and they have looked quite untroubled as well thus far. All good signs for India. Jaiswal has scored 10 in 21, Rahul seven in 15.
India 22/0 in 6 overs, lead by 68 runs

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: FOUR! Jaiswal with India's first boundary
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Fascinating battle between Starc and Jaiswal and the former might just be thinking that this is a wicket coming sooner than later. Starc goes short for the first two balls, Jaiswal keeps both down. Starc gives him a smiling stare after that second and Jaiswal smiles right back. He defends the third ball which is fullish solidly and then goes for a big pull at a short one outside off. Just as well he missed that, he was late on it and that would've been a top edge. Then Starc anges one to Jaiswal's pads, the batter times his flick to perfection and sends the ball blasting behind him to the boundary. The last one is driven to backward point. Jaiswal on five off 14 at the end of that over, KL Rahul on nought off four balls.
India 10/0 in 3 overs

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Jaiswal off the mark!

Then Jaiswal takes a single off the fifth ball of the second bowled by Hazlewood and that is his first run in Australia. The last ball takes Rahul's thigh pad and runs behind to the boundary so that is four more byes. Five of India's six runs so far from byes and a leg bye.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: LUNCH! Australia 103 all out, India lead by 46 runs
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Bumrah leads the team off the field. Even though that last-wicket stand frustrated India, they would know that their magician of a captain has given them a fighting chance at winning this Test even though they were all out for 150. These are tough, tough conditions to bat on though and it does look like the only thing the batters can do is wait for the ball to get old. Can the Indian top order be resilient enough to last that long though. Recent evidence suggests that they seem to have almost lost interest in putting a price on their wicket, although that was exactly what KL Rahul did in the first innings yesterday. India need that kind of gritty stuff from all their top order batters in the second innings.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: OUT! Rana finishes the Aussie innings
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Starc goes for a slog, it takes a thick edge and goes hiiiigh into the Perth sky, touches the moon and Pant takes a calm catch. It wasn't a short ball but it was short enough for it to rise too much for Starc to slog. Didn't have pace on it either.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Time for Washington Sundar to bowl?

We can now see on broadcast that Bumrah did signal to Washington to warm-up, he is bowling. Reddy got the last ball of the 47th over to fizz past Hazlewood's outside edge, he has been good so far in the three overs that he has bowled, it remains to be seen whether it is him who will be taken off.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Perfect farming of strike from Australia
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Well India are pushing the field back for Starc, despite the fact that he himself is a tail ender. Starc has also been quite patient, not gone for big shots throughout this stand with Hazlewood. He has faced as many as 79 balls now and scored 22 runs. Hazlewood at the other end on six off 19. Siraj continues for the 45th over after Nitish bowls his second over. This game was going at the rate of knots but Starc and Hazlewood have brought it screeching down to almost a halt.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Nitish Reddy to bowl his first Test over
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Here he is. He was India's highest run scorer with the bat. He is also known as a slogger in T20 cricket and only an occassional bowler for SRH. But Reddy is known more for his bowling skills than anything in domestic first class cricket. Starc and Hazlewood make light work of Siraj's first over of the day. This stand must be really getting on India's nerves now. Hazlewood on five off 17, Starc on 20 off 63.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Starc struck on the head and it's drinks
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Starc ducks into the third delivery of the 40th from Rana and takes it in the front of his helmet. He takes it off straightaway but doesn't seem to be in too much pain. Rana suspends the friendly hostility with Starc for a second and asks if he is ok. The physio and kitman runs out, there will be a concussion check and change of helmet for Starc. He is ok though, Rahul asks him jokingly if he is out LBW there. Rana also has a laugh with him after he is done with his drinks. This last wicket stand has done so well for Australia, India may be forced to bring in Siraj now, with Rana and Bumrah both having bowled seven overs each on a fairly hot day. Australia 94/9, trail by 57.

India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: An irritating last wicket stand for India
India vs Australia 1st Test LIVE Score: Starc survives Bumrah in the 39th over and then takes a single off the last to retain strike. That was Bumrah's sixth over today, Rana has also bowled six and now comes back to bowl his seventh but he looked pretty tired towards the end of his previous over. This partnership has now taken 35 balls and is worth 14 runs, thus becoming the joint-hioghest stand of this innings.
Australia 93/9. trail by 57 runs
