Get all the latest updates from the thrilling first Test at Perth as Australia takes control after India's batting woes.
Welcome to the live updates of the first Test between India and Australia at the iconic Optus Stadium in Perth. Day 1 has witnessed quite a dramatic turn of events as Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to put runs on the board first. However, the Indian batting lineup faced a challenging task against a formidable Australian bowling attack. Two uncapped players, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Devdutt Padikkal, were included in the playing XI but could not make significant contributions to the scoreboard.
As the day unfolded, Josh Hazlewood's superb bowling performance led to India's downfall. With Rishabh Pant trying to mount resistance, India found themselves struggling at 150 all out. The Australians took full advantage of the conditions and exploited India's batting frailties.
The visitors’ top order crumbled, and they slipped from 128 for 7 to 150 all out, as Hazlewood claimed four wickets, supported well by his pace colleagues. India's inability to handle the pressure was evident once again, with even stalwarts like Virat Kohli falling prey to the Australian attack.
The absence of experienced spinners like Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin was felt severely as India opted for a lone spinner in Washington Sundar. As Australia took the field, the Indian bowlers will need to deliver a miraculous performance to stay competitive in this match. The second session promises to be an interesting contest with the Aussie batsmen looking to capitalize on their early advantage. Stay tuned for more live updates and detailed analysis throughout the match.

Welcome back for the final session of Day 1! The umpires and Indian players have already taken their positions. Out walk the Aussie opening pair – Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney. Jasprit Bumrah has the new ball and is raring to go. Here we go…

… SECOND INNINGS …

Well then, with the Indian innings drawing to a close, TEA has been taken. Australia will come out to bat after the break and they have a huge opportunity to replicate the same dominance with the bat. They know that the Indian the pace attack is a bit inexperienced and with Jadeja and Ashwin absent as well, it will be a steep hill for the tourists to climb from here. It will require a miraculous bowling display from India against this experienced Aussie batting unit.

Losing on the momentum built by Pant and Reddy, India’s vulnerability was exposed yet again with another monumental collapse with India slipping down from 128/7 to 150 all out. For Australia, Josh Hazlewood was the most successful bowler as he never let the Indian batters get off the blocks and snagged a spectacular 4-fer with Starc, Cummins and Marsh all chipping in with a couple of wickets each. All ten wickets were shared by the Aussie pace quartet that troubled the Indians right, left and centre.

With Lyon struggling to find his rhythm and Pant taking the attack against him, Cummins smartly moved back to an all-pace attack. Reddy, in particular, impressed with his defensive technique and struck a few boundaries too. Just as Pant was threatening to convert his start into something substantial, Cummins struck, snuffing out the dangerous left-hander, and also redeeming himself from a dropped catch earlier.

The Australian camp opened with Mitchell Marsh joining the bowling attack, as Cummins maintained his aggressive all-pace strategy to build on the morning dominance. The tactic paid off when ‘The Bison’ struck twice in quick intervals, which left India reeling with half their side back in the sheds on a very sorry-looking score. The tide, however, began to slightly turn as conditions eased, with Pant finally finding his groove. He and Reddy crafted a gutsy partnership, mixing solid defense with bold strokeplay.

In an attempt to weather the storm, Pant and Jurel resumed their innings for India. Despite the second session usually favoring batters, they approached the ruthless Australian pacers with caution. Jurel showed early promise with some confident boundaries, but his innings was cut short by a catch in the slips. Pant struggled to find his rhythm, reflecting the overall uncertainty plaguing the Indian batting lineup.

India’s innings never found its feet, with familiar top-order frailties coming back to haunt them. While KL Rahul fought a lone battle trying to hold the top order, wickets tumbled at the other end. Even the usually reliable Kohli couldn’t weather the storm, and his early departure heaped even more pressure on an already strained and inexperienced lower middle order. India were badly reduced to a paltry 59/5 with the hosts bossing up the first session.

A pure action-packed phase of play as compared to the morning session. It had everything – Aussie pace dominance at full tilt, a resilient Pant-Jurel stand and in between and then the pacers squeezing back in to close in the session bundling India out. This post-Lunch session has moved this inaugural Test at a rapid pace courtesy of the Aussie pace battery being threateningly dangerous and doing the basic things correctly.

46.3 – FOUR! A bit streaky but good intent from Harshit Rana here. Slightly pitched up around off, Rana looks to drive but is late on it and gets a thick outside edge that goes through the slip cordon for a boundary.

Drinks break! Another hour of play that has been largely dominated by the Aussie bowlers but India have shown much more fight after the Lunch interval. However, it has been Mitchell Marsh who has been the wrecker-in-chief for Australia picking up a couple of timely wickets but right now, the duo of Rishabh Pant and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy are just looking to muster up some crucial runs. Also, the hosts have let go of what could have been a crucial DRS option just before drinks as Reddy’s wicket would have exposed the Indian tail but for now, India still have a couple of capable batters at the crease.

36.5 – An appeal for caught behind but the umpire thinks otherwise! Mitchell Starc looks adamant and Cummins has a chat with him. They do not review it and the timer goes off as well. Oh dear, that could have been curtains to Nitish’s innings, had they opted for a review. UltraEdge does show a spike when the ball is close to the bat. Coming to the delivery, this is a good-length ball, on the pads, Reddy is on the back foot and tries to work it to the leg side but the excessive pace gets the better of him and goes through to the keeper.
