Wickets tumble left, right and centre as Australia find themselves in trouble at the conclusion of day one

UPDATE

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have inserted life into the first test after running through Australia’s top order to see the hosts at 7/67 at the end of play on day one.

Nathan McSweeney’s debut with the bat didn’t last long, as he departed for 10 runs off 13 balls.

Bumrah, who’s captaining India’s side, led from the front by taking the first three wickets for the visitors, with two of them coming in the same over. He finished day one’s play with incredible figures of 4/12 off nine overs.

Whilst wickets from debutant Harshit Rana and Mohammed Siraj have caused the Aussies to be staring down the barrel of potentially not reaching India’s target score of 150 in the first innings.

Australia will open up play on day two with Alex Carey (19) and Mitchell Starc (6) at the crease with their score at 7/67.

EARLIER

Australia have gotten off to a strong start on Day 1 in Perth, taking four wickets in the first session to have India 4/51 at Lunch after the visitors chose to bat first.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) was the first wicket to fall with the score 1/5 as Mitchell Starc had the left-handed opener caught in gully by debutant Nathan McSweeney.

Number three Devdutt Padikkal (0) also fell for a duck after facing 23 balls with Josh Hazlewood taking his edge after changing ends after his new ball spell. That change of ends would also bring the wicket of Virat Kholi (5) with the score 3/32 as the big Aussie’s extra bounce had Kholi fending and caught in slips.

The last wicket to fall in the session came just before Lunch with opener KL Rahul (26) controversially given out after a review caught behind off the bowling of Starc.

While the umpire didn’t give it out originally, it was overturned after a spike appeared on snicko, although Rahul felt that was from his bat hitting his pad.

Rishabh Pant (10 not out) and Dhruv Jurel (4 not out) return to the crease for the start of the second session at 4 pm (AEDT) and 1 pm (local time).
