2nd Test, Day 1: Shami Picks Four, Ashwin, Jadeja Scalp Three Each As India Bowl Out Australia For 263
For Australia, who elected to bat first after winning the toss, left-handed opener Usman Khawaja was precise in footwork and pristine in strokeplay to make 81, the first fifty by a visiting batter on the ongoing tour. Peter Handscomb looked impressive in his 72 not out. But losing wickets in back-to-back fashion thrice may come to hurt them later on.
The final session began with Australia reaching 200 in 59.4 overs. Handscomb started off by using the pace from Axar Patel's delivery to guide past slip for a boundary. When Jadeja pitched outside the off-stump, Handscomb was quick to go on backfoot and punch past backward-point for another boundary.
