Australia made a wonderful start in the series opener against India, with openers Matt Renshaw and David Warner. The duo made a 82-run stand on a pitch that offered plenty of turn and bounce right from the start.
India, however, managed to break through late in the morning session with Umesh Yadav. Yadav dismissed a well-set David Warner (38) to end Australia’s opening stand. The Aussies also lost Renshaw to illness right after.

Earlier, India have broken through Australia early in the session with Jayant Yadav. He had castled Renshaw through the legs, but the southpaw survived because of a big no-ball.
The Indians paid the price of their inconsistency. Ravichandran Ashwin, Jayant and Ravindra Jadeja extracted plenty from the wicket. But, they failed to pitch the ball in the right areas, consistently, on a raging turner.
At lunch, on Day 1, Australia (83/1) had two new batsmen in the middle, Steve Smith (1) and Shaun Marsh (1).
