Do join us tomorrow on NDTV Sports, as we find out how this Test match goes on. Can Australia reduce the lead? Can India's top order fare better? Plenty of questions left to be answered.

Goodbye for today, and see you tomorrow for another riveting day of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Thank you

Australia took the first two sessions. But the last session by India was perhaps more devastating than both of the previous ones. What a day of cricket. What a Test match we have in store. 

The scoreboard reads: Australia trail India by 83 runs, at 67/7. But count out Australia at your peril. The in-form Alex Carey is still at the crease, and Mitch Starc can certainly hold a bat. His highest Test score of 99 is against India! 

At the start of the day, Nitish Reddy played a valiant 41 off 59 balls to take India to 150. On Test debut, no less. Team India's bold selection calls have paid off so far in the first Test here at Perth.

A sensational second spell by Siraj. 6 overs on the trot, kept the pressure firmly on Marsh and Labuschagne, and got both of their wickets in the end. 

Test debut. Travis Head. Clean bowled. Harshit Rana was phenomenal in his first spell on Test debut. Understood the assignment to perfection. 

No word of praise is enough for Jasprit Bumrah. A wicket at the start to get debutant McSweeney. Then two in two balls to send Khawaja and Smith packing. Bowled 6 in a row, came back and got his counterpart Cummins at the end. Scintillating. Hard to deny he's the best in the world.

When India walked off all out on 150, nobody would've imagined the day would end like this. Jasprit Bumrah led from the front with 4 wickets. Harshit Rana got Travis Head with a cracker. Siraj followed up with 2. Australia tottering, and on the brink of their lowest-ever Test total against India.

AUS 67/7 (27 overs)

Oh we nearly had a wicket on the final ball of the day! Slower ball by Bumrah, catches Starc by surprise, Bumrah nearly got to it for a caught-and-bowled, but it falls just short. 

And that's STUMPS. What a day of cricket.

Mitchell Starc will hit out at any opportunity to make runs now, and drives Bumrah through the off side for a beautiful 4. Bumrah comes back with a saucy bouncer.

AUS 67/7 (26.4)

Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the 27th over, as the clock ticks past 3:20 PM IST (5:50 PM local). This could be the final over of the day.

AUS 62/7 (26)

Australia lowest total against India in Test cricket is 83, way back in 1981. Still 21 runs away from that total, with only three wickets to get.

AUS 62/7 (26)

Mitchell Starc opens his account with the bat off his ex-KKR teammate Harshit Rana's bowling. Will the two be teammates again by the time November 24 comes round?

AUS 62/7 (25.3)

Jasprit Bumrah gets Pat Cummins! Thick edge, caught behind by Rishabh Pant. That's FOUR for Bumrah. Australia go 7-down.

Pat Cummins - c Pant b Bumrah - 3 (5)

AUS 59/7 (24.2)

Stumps will be at 5:50 PM local time (3:20 PM IST). Probably another 3 or 4 overs can be got in in that time frame.

AUS 59/6 (24.1)

Down the pads, Carey gets an edge and the ball streaks down for 4. Australia notch up 50 in 23.4 overs. And right after, Carey responds with a super upper cut, and picks up another boundary!

AUS 57/6 (24)

Harshit Rana replaces Siraj in the attack again. A bit of a break for the Test debutant, and now he comes in for Siraj, who bowled an excellent 6-over spell.

AUS 48/6 (23)

22 overs in, Australia are completely on the back foot. Bumrah with another tight over, just 1 off it. Siraj will bowl his sixth over on the trot now, before probably handing it back to Harshit Rana.

Will we see Nitish Kumar Reddy with the ball soon?

AUS 48/6 (22)

This final session has gone better than India would've ever dreamt of. To have Australia at 47/6 after 20 overs is a sensational effort by the pace trio. Gautam Gambhir and the management's selection has paid off completely. 

AUS 47/6 (21.3)

The painful stay at the crease for Marnus Labuschagne comes to an end! Trapped plumb in front of the wicket by Siraj. He takes a review but it's three reds and OUT!

Marnus Labuschagne - lbw Siraj - 2 (52)

AUS 47/6 (20.5)

No, it's not a half-century of runs. Marnus Labuschagne has played 50 balls now, and scored just 2 runs. A marathon knock of resilience, and he's somehow survived so far after Kohli dropped him.

AUS 47/5 (20.3)

Finally some runs against Siraj. First runs conceded by him in 4 overs. Alex Carey picks up his first boundary.

AUS 47/5 (20.2)

20 overs up for Australia. Jasprit Bumrah comes back with a maiden. Marnus Labuschagne now 2 runs off 48 balls. What a stunning bowling effort this has been from Team India.

AUS 42/5 (20)

Jasprit Bumrah gives Harshit Rana a rest, and is back into the attack. He will bowl the 20th over of the Australia innings.

AUS 42/5 (19.1)

Mohammed Siraj has not grabbed the headlines like Bumrah or Harshit Rana, but he has bowled a very tight second spell. Four overs on the trot now, and adds another maiden over.

AUS 42/5 (19)

Throw your mind back some 15-odd overs and Virat Kohli dropped Marnus Labuschagne on 0! Amazingly, Labuschagne has only made 2 runs since, having faced 42 balls so far.

AUS 42/5 (18.4)

6 overs, 1/21 for Harshit Rana. Fiery first spell in Test cricket. Got the huge wicket of Travis Head too. He's given some loose ones, but been terrific overall.

New into the crease, Alex Carey gets off the mark with a brilliant cover drive. The outfield is slow, so it doesn't go to the boundary, but picks up 3 runs. Would be foolish to count out Australia yet, Alex Carey has been in magnificent form recently.

AUS 42/5 (18)

Super catch it is by KL Rahul at first slip. Replays show clearly fingers underneath the ball. A well-taken catch, and Mohammed Siraj gets his first wicket. Australia are five-down now, and in real danger of conceding a first innings lead.

Mitch Marsh - c Rahul b Siraj - 6 (19)

AUS 38/5 (17)

KL Rahul has taken a brilliant diving catch at first slip, but has that carried? We will go to the third umpire. Mitch Marsh the batter in question.

Harshit Rana is really fired up, and throws back a blocked shot right back at the batter's stumps. Labuschagne was well inside his crease, and seems like a bit of unnecessary aggression on that occasion. But Harshit Rana seems very up for the fight.

AUS 38/4 (16)

Harshit Rana (1/16) back for a fifth over in a row. Enthusiastic start to his Test career, and a beauty to dismiss Travis Head so far. What more has he got in store? Marsh and Labuschagne are playing it very safe for now. They need to have a long partnership to bring Australia back into this.

AUS 37/4 (15)

15 overs of just pace from Team India. Be it Bumrah, Siraj or Harshit. The pressure totally on Australia, who are not finding runs easy to come at all. Labuschagne is on 1 run off 34 balls!

AUS 37/4 (14.4)

Good over once again by Harshit Rana, despite the one boundary. Testing Mitch Marsh all the way, beating him once and then getting him on the pads again. 

AUS 37/4 (14)

Mitchell Marsh stands tall and delivers a wonderful drive. Through mid-off for 4. Next ball, beaten by Harshit Rana. This Test match goes back and forth every ball!

AUS 37/4 (13.3)

After 6 straight overs, Jasprit Bumrah takes a well-earned break. Three wickets to dismantle Australia's top order. Mohammed Siraj takes the ball again.

AUS 33/4 (12)

At last, Marnus Labuschagne is off the mark. Takes a single off Harshit Rana, draws the applause from the Perth crowd. 24 balls, 1 run!

AUS 33/4 (11.3)

Maiden Test wicket for Harshit Rana! What a ball! Ball keeps low, swings back in, right into Travis Head's weak spot. Clean bowled. Spectacular stuff from Harshit Rana.

Travis Head - b Head - 11 (13)

AUS 31/4 (11.1)

Remember Devdutt Padikkal's 23-ball duck? Marnus Labuschange is now 0* (23). Having a really hard time to get bat on ball out at the crease in Perth.

AUS 31/3 (11)

What a sensational Test match we have brewing here. Jasprit Bumrah dominated the first 10 overs there. 3 wickets - McSweeney, Khawaja and Smith. Stand-in captain leading from the front.

Australia trail India by 120 runs.

AUS 30/3 (10)

Two loose balls given to Travis Head by Harshit Rana. A no-ball as well. The left-hander is known to cause a lot of pain to India in recent years, and cashes in here.

AUS 29/3 (9.3)

20 balls, 0 runs. Marnus Labuschagne is taking his time to find his feet at the crease. Shows you the immense pressure created on the Aussie batting by Jasprit Bumrah. 

AUS 20/3 (9)

Harshit Rana troubles Labuschange and bags a maiden in his very first Test over. India completely on top here at the moment.

AUS 19/3 (8)

Right then. Ball handed to Harshit Rana on Test debut. The Australian batting is there for the taking here, and Rana has the responsibility now.

Tests Labuschagne third ball! Awkward bounce!

AUS 19/3 (7.3)

It's full and hits the pads, Bumrah appeals, but just going down leg side. Wow. Travis Head survives. Jasprit Bumrah, you beauty. Australia are pinned down here.

AUS 19/3 (7)

Steve Smith is gone! Jasprit Bumrah is on fire! Golden duck for the former Australia captain on his return to No. 4! Jasprit Bumrah is on a hattrick! 

Steve Smith - lbw Bumrah - 0 (1)

AUS 19/3 (6.5)

Virat Kohli makes up for his dropped catch! This time, safe as houses at second slip. Thick edge from Khawaja and Kohli makes no mistake. Bumrah takes the second Aussie wicket, and big pressure on the hosts early on.

Usman Khawaja - c Kohli b Bumrah - 8 (19)

AUS 19/2 (6.4)

Jasprit Bumrah switches to round the wicket to bowl to Khawaja, and beats him with a ripper right away! What an opening spell this is turning into from the Indian captain.

AUS 19/1 (6.1)

Class shot by Usman Khawaja. Temporarily relieves the pressure put on by the Indian seamers. Hooks away Siraj for 4 through the leg side. Some runs at last again.

AUS 19/1 (6)

Excellent start by India. Firmly putting the pressure on Australia. Another ripped just misses Labuschagne's edge, even though Pant and Kohli go up in the slips. The captain leading from the front.

Just 1 run in the last three overs.

AUS 14/1 (5)

Big edge by Labuschagne and Virat Kohli drops it at slip! Poor fielding. Huge reprieve for Australia. The entire Indian team had started celebrating, but Kohli admits that he dropped it. Seems like he lost control of the catch right at the end. Puts his hands up. Big chance goes begging.

AUS 14/1 (3)

SUCCESSFUL DRS! Bumrah strikes! The umpire gave it not out, but Bumrah was firm about it and took the review. And it shows three reds and OUT! McSweeney goes for10 on debut.

Nathan McSweeney - lbw Bumrah - 10 (13)

AUS 14/1 (2.3)

McSweeney edges, and it runs away through the slip cordon for 4. Didn't carry to second slip, but you expect a better effort to stop the runs. The next ball is a ripper, and catches McSweeney on the pads, but it's too high. 7 runs off Siraj's first over.

AUS 13/0 (2)

Ah, there's the loose ball. On McSweeney's pads, and the youngster flicks it away for 4. First Test cricket runs, and up against one of the world's best.

AUS 6/0 (1)

Excellent stuff from Bumrah. Giving McSweeney no loose balls to settle in on Test debut. McSweeney looks to open the face of his bat, but gets firmly beaten. Goes back to leaving the next ball.

AUS 2/0 (0.4)

Superb inswing by Bumrah. McSweeney leaves but the ball clips his pad and goes to Rishabh Pant. Testing times for the Australia's newest opener.

AUS 2/0 (0.2)

Jasprit Bumrah to Usman Khawaja first up! Khawaja sneaks a single, and oh dear, Jasprit Bumrah bowls a no-ball as well. Now time for Nathan McSweeney.

India will have nothing but quick wickets in mind. At least 2-3 wickets would be crucial for India to knock off in the final session, particularly attacking the debutant Nathan McSweeney. A huge chance to impress for the Aussie debutant.

India will open the bowling with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, but eyes will also be on Harshit Rana on his debut. Rana has been heavily trusted by the management, and seems to have the fiery edge needed to succeed on Australian soil.

The big talking point that India may look back on would be KL Rahul's rather controversial dismissal. The different angles were not used during the review, and India will be left wondering what may have been if Rahul had batted longer.

The big (and perhaps only) positive for India to take from the first two sessions would be the fact that Nitish Reddy seemed very impressive on debut. He came out to bat in very tough conditions, and got out as India's top run-scorer of the day. 41 well made runs, and looking confident too.

Australia have bundled out India for 150 on Day 1 of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. For India, debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy scored 41 while Rishabh Pant scored 37. Apart from the, KL Rahul also scored 26. For Australia, Josh Hazlewood took four wickets while Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Marsh took two wickets each. It was a dominating show from Australia. 

OUT!!! Josh Hazlewood has taken his fourth wicket as he dismissed Jasprit Bumrah for eight. After being hit for six, Hazlewood bounces back in style as he traps Bumrah with his pace. Bumrah gets forward and reaches out for the drive but it straightens to find the edge. Alex Carey then takes a brilliant catch. Ninth wicket gone for India. 

IND 144/9 (49 overs)

OUT!!! Josh Hazlewood gets his third wicket of the day and this time, he dismisses the debutant pacer Harshit Rana for seven. Short of length outside off, Rana tries punching off the back foot through the off-side but gets a thick edge. It goes quickly to the left of gully where McSweeney dives one-handed but fails to hold on. However, it deflects off his hand to the right of Marnus at third slip and he shows good reactions to grab a sharp low catch with his right hand. Eighth wicket gone for India. 

IND 128/8 (46.4 overs)

OUT!!! Skipper Pat Cummins has provided Australia with a huge wicket as he dismissed Rishabh Pant for 37. Pant gets bamboozled by the immense pace of Cummins as the ball finds the thick edge and Steve Smith takes a brilliant catch at the second slip. What a brilliant comeback from Australia as they have now removed them mighty Pant. Seventh wicket gone for India. 

IND 121/7 (45.4 overs)

WOW!!! SPEECHLESS!!! Rishabh Pant just shows his true mettle with a powerful maximum off Pat Cummins. Full ball angled in around off, Pant collapses his back knee, falls over to the off-side while getting under the ball and whips it over the fine leg boundary. This is Pant's trademark and it came against the mighty Aussies. 

IND 114/6 (42 overs)

The partnership between Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy has proven to be really fruitful for India as the duo has the provided the visitors with some momentum. In the previous over of Nathan Lyon, the duo scores seven runs as India go past 100-run mark. Brilliant batting from both the batters. 

IND 105/6 (40 overs)

WHAT A TWIST IN TALE!!!! Mitchell Starc almost provides Australia another breakthrough but the wrong call prevents it. Starc hits on the glove of Nitish Reddy and then Alex Carey takes a catch. However, the on-field umpire signals not out and Australia also did not opt for a DRS. It was later shown that the ball had touched the glove and Reddy was out. 

IND 93/6 (36.5 overs)

WOW!!! Debutant Nitish Reddy makes his intentions clear and he unleashes his fury on Nathan Lyon. In the previous over of the spinner, Reddy hammers two stunning boundaries as Lyon concedes eight runs. India are slowly gaining the momentum. 

IND 91/6 (36 overs)

Rishabh Pant is standing like the last hope for India against Australia. He is also getting a good support from Nitish Kumar Reddy but all the onus is on the shoulders of Pant. In the previous over of Mitchell Marsh, Pant opens his arms and hits a stunning boundary. Good going for India as they need more to recover from the damage. 

IND 82/6 (34 overs)

OUT!!! Mitchell Marsh strikes again and this time, Washington Sundar becomes his prey and departs for four. Marsh traps Sundar by offering some extra bounce as the Indian batter tries to stop it with the bat. However, the ball finds the edge and becomes an easy catch for wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Sixth wicket gone for India as Australia breathe fire. 

IND 73/6 (31.4 overs)

After the dismissal of Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar joins Rishabh Pant at the crease. Five-down India are showing a defensive approach against Australia's dominant pace attack. In the previous over Pat Cummins, the Indian duo score four runs and aim for more in the upcoming overs. 

IND 71/5 (31 overs)

OUT!!! Pat Cummins strategy of introducing Mitchell Marsh into the attack finally pays off as he dismisses Dhruv Jurel for 11. Fullish and moving away, Jurel looks to play an angled bat, pushed with hard hands, thick edge outside edge and it carries straight to third slip, where Marnus Labuschagne takes an easy catch. Fifth wicket gone for India. 

IND 59/5 (27.5 overs)

Young batter Dhruv Jurel is looking in good touch. He is looking confident in his approach despite India's difficult state. In the previous over of Pat Cummins, he confidently hammers a boundary and provides India with some relief. He is also getting a good support from Rishabh Pant, who is also rotating the strike regularly. 

IND 58/4 (27 overs)

Hello and welcome to the second session of play on Day 1 of the first Test between India and Australia in Perth. Before going for Lunch, India's score read 51/4 with Rishabh Pant (10*) and Dhruv Jurel (4*) standing unbeaten at the crease. In this session, the duo of Pant and Jurel will look to take India ahead in the game with their strong partnership. Let's play!!!

This marks the end of play in the first session on Day 1 of the first Test between India and Australia in Perth. At Lunch, India's score read 51/4 with Rishabh Pant (10*) and Dhruv Jurel (4*) standing unbeaten at the crease. India have lost the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Devdutt Padikkal (0), Virat Kohli (5), KL Rahul (26). The pace duo of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc has been really dominating for Australia. 

OUT!!! Mitchell Starc has provided Australia with the biggest breakthrough of the day as he dismissed KL Rahul for 26. Starc finally manages to get hold of Rahul with his ultimate swing. Rahul tries to go for a defensive hit but the ball finds a thin edge of bat and travels straight to wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who makes no mistake and takes a catch. The on-field umpire initially gave not out but the DRS reviews showed that the ball touched the edge and Rahul had to depart. Fourth wicket gone for India. 

IND 47/4 (22.2 overs)

WOAH!!! That was close. In his previous delivery, Mitchell Starc strikes directly onto the pads of Rishabh Pant. However, the on-field signals not and Australia go for a DRS review. It was then shown that the ball was actually missing the stump and Pant survives the close call. With this, Australia lose their first DRS review. 

IND 40/3 (20.1 overs)

India are losing wickets at regular intervals and are unable to form a stable partnership. Now, the onus has fallen on the shoulders of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. In the previous over of Pat Cummins, Rahul hammers a boundary and receives an applause from the crowd. India need more of these, in order to gain momentum. 

IND 36/3 (18 overs)

OUT!!! WHAT IS GOING ON??? India are in deep trouble as Josh Hazlweood gets his second wicket and this time, he gets the big man Virat Kohli for 5. Hazlewood traps Kohli with his fantastic pace as he shortens the length. The edge is found around the bat shoulder and it goes for a comfortable catch at first slip for Usman Khawaja. Third wicket gone for India as Australia dominate the proceedings. 

IND 32/3 (16.2 overs)

The likes of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul are giving their level best to bring Team India out of the trouble. The duo is rotating the strike and desperately eyeing some boundaries, in order to provide India with some momentum. On the other, Australia skipper Pat Cummins is also making things complicated for them with his pace. He is now looking for his first wicket of the day. 

IND 20/2 (14 overs)

After the shocking dismissal of Devdutt Padikkal for duck, star India batter Virat Kohli walks out and joins KL Rahul at the crease. The crowd at the Perth Stadium goes berserk on seeing Kohli walking out. The fan base of Kohli is just immense, not only in India but in Australia as well. However, India are deep trouble right now as they are looking completely clueless against Australia's dominating pace attack. 

IND 18/2 (12 overs)

OUT!!!! And it happened again as Australia pacers continue to dominate India's batting line-up. This time, Josh Hazlewood dismisses Devdutt Padikkal for duck. Padikkal, who spent 23 deliveries to understand the pitch, fails to open his run tally. He tries to go for another defensive shot but the ball hits the edge and becomes an easy catch for wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Second wicket gone for India. 

IND 14/2 (11 overs)

Not much swing or bounce available for any Australian pacer to begin with. Cummins pitches a ball short to see the bounce but nothing extraordinary. Rahul and Padikkal continue to buy time in the middle. 

The Australian captain Pat Cummins comes into the attack as first change. He Replaces Josh Hazlewood as the hosts look to test the Indian duo with a fresh pairing. Devdutt Padikkal yet to get off the mark as KL Rahul grills hard.

So far in the first session, Indian batters are looking clueless against Australia's fiery pace attack. The pace duo of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood have been successful in keeping India under pressure. On the other hand, the duo of KL Rahul and Devdutt Padikkal are eyeing a good opportunity to score runs. The are rotating the strike but are unable to get a boundary. 

IND 11/1 (6 overs)

In a strange turn of events, Indian batters were not able to open their run tally till the third over. In the fourth over by Josh Hazlewood, KL Rahul finally opens his arms and hammers a shot through the cover and steal three runs. After the shocking dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal for duck, Devdutt Padikkal has joined KL Rahul at the crease. The duo need to form a good partnership. 

IND 8/1 (4 overs)

OUT!!! WHAT A BLOW TO INDIA!!! Mitchell Starc has provided Australia with a huge breakthrough as he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for duck. The talented young India batter gets completely bamboozled by the stunning pace of Starc as he tries to play a defensive shot. However, the ball hits the edge and travels straight to Nathan McSweeney, who then takes a simple catch at gully. First wicket gone for India. 

IND 5/1 (2.1 overs)

India are off to a steady start in the first session of the first Test against Australia. Indian openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul are assessing the Australian conditions against the pace of Mitchell Starc. In the first over, Starc leaks five runs, which came from bye and a no-ball. India will look to rotate the strike from the next over. 

IND 5/0 (1 over)

So, the wait is finally over as the first Test between India and Australia is very underway. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul will be starting the proceedings. In the absence of skipper Rohit Sharma, the onus of opening has fallen on the shoulders of KL Rahul. The duo will look to form a good opening partnership. On the other hand, Mitchell Starc will be bowling the first over for Australia. Let's play!!

UPDATE: Shubman Gill sustained a left thumb injury during Day 2 of match simulation at The WACA. He was not considered for selection for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

— BCCI (@BCCI) November 22, 2024

After an abysmal performance against New Zealand, star India batter Virat Kohli will be eager to deliver a strong show against his favourite rivals Australia. The rivalry between Kohli and Australia is not new as it is going to be a fiery contest. The likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and all the Aussie bowlers will give their sweat and blood to stop Kohli from firing. 

Australia (Playing XI): Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey(w), Pat Cummins(c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

India (Playing XI): KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Jasprit Bumrah(c), Mohammed Siraj

"We were 50-50, either way we are pretty happy. Feel well placed, pretty fresh. Any format we (India-Australia) play seems fiercely fought. Nathan McSweeney makes our debut at the top of the order."

"We are going to bat first, looks like a good wicket. Very confident with our preparation. We played a Test match here in 2018 so we know what to expect. The wicket gets quicker. Nitish makes his debut. We have 4 quicks and Washi is the lone spinner."

India stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumah won the toss and opted to bat against Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Perth. 

Just like the T20 World Cup 2024, which took place in the United States and the Caribbean, the Perth Test between India and Australia will also have a drop-in pitch. This is now going to be an interesting affair. 

Perth is traditionally been a pitch that produces a lot of bounce. It's going to be the same this time as well. The practice sessions confirm that the match is going to see sharp bounce from certain areas while carry to the wicket-keeper is also going to be healthy. It would be interesting to see how India's openers handle that.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 1 of the first Test between India and Australia in Perth. A few debuts are expected in both the camps as the 5-match series gets underway. Jasprit Bumrah, the captain, also looks to test himself in the arguably the toughest conditions of all. We are underway...
