David Warner gave Australia a breezy start as he went after the Indian bowlers who bowled poor line and length.

India's poor time on the field continued as Dhawan dropped an edge off Rogers' bat. He went on to hit his four successive Test 50.

Rogers was living a charmed life as a good, low catch by Dhoni was referred to the third umpire and replays were not conclusive enough to suggest that the Indian keeper had taken the ball cleanly.
