Here are the Highlights of Day 1 of the 1st Test Match between India and Australia straight from Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur -
- 16:42 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Stumps on Day 1!India end Day 1 at 77 for 1 in response to Australia's 177 all out. It was a day that belonged to Ravindra Jadeja, who took a five-wicket haul on his return to international cricket. Rohit Sharma then scored a dominating 56 not out to make sure India stay ahead in the game. The hosts trail Australia by 100 runs.IND 77/1 (24)
- 16:31 (IST)
- 14:48 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!Wow! That's an absolute beauty from Ravichandran Ashwin that gets better of Scott Boland. Ashwin bowled a carrom ball and the batter had no clue. The ball pitched around middle stump before turning away from Boland and taking off his off stump. Australia are all out for 177.AUS 177 (63.5)
- 14:41 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: OUT! 5-wicket haul for Jadeja!Ravindra Jadeja has trapped Nathan Lyon in front of the stumps and that is the 11th five-wicket haul for the Indian spinner in Test cricket. Lyon has went for a review only to lose it as the ball is projected to have hit the middle of middle stump.AUS 176/9 (62.3)
- 13:44 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!Alex Carey perishes! He was playing with fire and eventually burns himself with that. He tried to go for a reverse-sweep on the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin, failed to get the connection right and chopped the ball back on his stumps. Australia are six down.AUS 162/6 (53.1)
- 13:18 (IST)
- 12:54 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!Steve Smith is gone! What a superb performance this is turning out to be from Ravindra Jadeja. He has cleaned up Smith. This is a big-big wicket for the hosts and Australia are five down now with no set batter at the crease. Smith departs for 37 off 107 balls as Jadeja claims his third wicket of the innings.AUS 109/5 (42)
- 12:42 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Jadeja misses hat-trick!Ravindra Jadeja had struck twice on the last two balls of his previous over, but the first ball of the following over from him saw Peter Handscomb doing a good defence. This deprives the Indian spinner of a hat-trick. Nonetheless, the twin strikes from Jadeja has dented Australia's progress.
- 12:33 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!Two in two for Ravindra Jadeja. Matt Renshaw departs for a first-ball duck after getting dismissed LBW. Umpire had raised his finger but Renshaw decided to go upstairs. The ball was clipping the leg stump, hence Australia saved the review, though they lost another wicket.AUS 84/4 (36)
- 12:28 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!Here is the much-needed breakthrough for India! Ravindra Jadeja has gotten rid of Marnus Labuschagne with a beauty. It was a good length ball that pitched around off stump and missed Labuschagne's outside edge. KS Bharat did some good glove work to stump the batter out for the score of 49.AUS 84/3 (35.5)
- 11:52 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: In case you missed it!Suryakumar Yadav made his Test debut today, while KS Bharat is playing his first game for India. Watch the moments when the two were handed Test debut caps:

It was a shared session as India started on a high with Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami both claiming a wicket each to reduce Australia to 2/2 in 2.1 overs, but Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith added unbeaten 74 runs to help the guests make a mini comeback.AUS 76/2 (32)
- 11:05 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: 50-run partnership!A four from Steve Smith through extra cover and there comes the 50-run partnership between him and Marnus Labuschagne for the third wicket. Australia were in huge trouble after losing the first two wickets for two runs within 13 balls, but the current pair has revived the innings.AUS 54/2 (22.4)
- 10:54 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!Another good shot from Marnus Labuschagne for a four. He adjusted himself beautifully on the delivery of Axar Patel and hit the ball past the short leg for a four. The short mid-wicket fielder did give a run but the ball comfortably raced to the boundary.AUS 48/2 (19.4)
- 10:42 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Kohli drops Smith's catch!Oh! It could have been the third wicket for India, but Virat Kohli has dropped the catch of Steve Smith at first slip on the bowling of Axar Patel. It was a fuller ball from Axar and Smith went for the powerful drive. He got a thick edge and the ball flew to Kohli's right hand at first slip in no time. Kohli failed to hold on to it and Smith survived. It was a tough chance.
- 10:32 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Smith-Labuschagne pair solid!The duo of Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne have added 27 runs off 65 balls so far. With the two early strikes at the start of day, Australia were in big trouble, but the two batting mainstays have helped the side make a mini comeback.AUS 29/2 (13)
- 10:10 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Australia careful against spin!After Ravindra Jadeja, the next over was bowled by Axar Patel. Of the overall 12 balls of spin, Australia could score only one run that too came off a leg bye. Both Smith and Labuschagne are taking their time at the middle, rightly so!
- 09:50 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: WICKETAnother one bites the dust! This was an absolute ripper from Mohammed Shami that got the better of David Warner. It is just 13 balls after the start of the game and both the Australian openers are back to the dugout. What a start for India this is!AUS 2/2 in 2.1 overs
