India vs Australia Live Score and Updates
The first day of the fifth Test between India and Australia at The WACA in Perth is now over. India started strongly with Kaushal Silva and Vijay Shankar scoring half-centuries before the Australian bowlers got to work, dismissing both batsmen for 53. KL Rahul followed up his maiden Test century with a fluent 71 before being dismissed by Pat Cummins for 126. Cheteshwar Pujara was the next Indian batsman in, but he too was bowled out for 56 as Australia managed to dismiss all their other batsmen, with Steve Smith taking 4/110 in 44 overs.
This ended a very frustrating innings from Pujara who had started off so well, averaging 49 in Tests at home. There was some good news for India though as Jasprit Bumrah took 3/41 to help India take a 103-run lead after two days of play.
There were some good performances from other Indians too, including Ravichandran Ashwin who took 2/47 from 18 overs and Mohammed Shami who picked up 3/42 from 21 overs. However, it was not enough as Australia closed the innings on 278/9 (still trailing by 103 runs) with Smith unbeaten on 67*. With this scoreline, India are still hopeful of tying the series but they will need to perform better tomorrow if they want to win it outright.
As always, stay tuned for live updates throughout the day…
Australia vs India 1st Test Day 2 Match Highlights
What an amazing day it has been so far in the 1st Test match between India and Australia! The excitement and passion is palpable as the two teams battle it out. Here are some of the highlights from day 2:
India started the day well, posting a decent total of 443/8 after 50 overs. However, they were unable to carry this momentum forward, and Australia powered their way to a massive total of 538/9 in reply. Facing run-outs on consecutive deliveries, Virat Kohli’s men slumped to 85/4 in the 15th over. Ajinkya Rahane (49) and Rohit Sharma (48) did manage to hold their End-of-Day totals together somewhat, but ultimately fell short by 31 runs.
While India can take some positives from this day – such as making a competitive total – they will need to up their game if they want to win this Test match. For Australia, this was another successful day at the office; they move into the second innings with an imposing total of 460/7. As expected, Steve Smith (254*), David Warner (117*), and Cameron Bancroft (154*) all starred today, with Smith leading the way with 264 runs off 365 balls. With only 58 overs remaining in this mammoth Test match, it will be fascinating to see who comes out on top tomorrow. Stay tuned for all updates!
