India vs Australia 1st Test Highlights: Bumrah, Rana, Siraj leave AUS gasping for air, hosts trail by 83 runs at stumps

IND vs AUS Live Score: There's only one Jasprit Bumrah! If there was one man who could bring India back into this Test match, it was him. And boy, what a response it has been from him. Six overs, two maidens, three wickets for nine runs. Incredible stuff. More importantly, his infectious energy and electricity have rubbed off brilliantly on his fellow Indian pacers, with Harshit Rana looking equally menacing. Change of ends for Mohammed Siraj, who is in search of his first wicket.

Australia 37/4 in 16 overs.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Mitchell Marsh times the ball exquisitely as Australia get a much-needed boundary. Six fours in the innings thus far, which is not bad considering the fire and intensity with which the Indians are bowling. Down the wicket and there wasn't much the fielder could do to stop that one. Rana delivers a jaffa, the next ball, to keep Marsh alive and alert. Australia go to 37/4, and with that, drinks have been called for.

IND vs AUS Live Score: The Perth Stadium gives a round of applause to Marnus Labuschagne, who is finally off the mark after 24 balls. Brings back memories of Rahul Dravid, who at WACA – not too far from here – went without scoring a run for 40 balls during the 2007-08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Australians need such doggedness to continue of they are to put up a fight with the bat.

IND vs AUS Live Score: BOOM! Round the wickets and the stumps go rattling. And it's the danger man Travis Head who has to go back. India have Australia on the mat at 31/4. This is a strong comeback from India with the ball after they looked clueless with the bat. But that's what Perth does to you. Australia at 31/4, are in a worse situation than India. With the pitch expected to behave similarly, this one may go down to the wires although there's still plenty of time left.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Is this heading towards a Day 4? Well, looks unlikely at this stage. We all wondered if the 1st Test and the IPL auctions may collide, but going by the fact that 13 wickets have already fallen, it would take a remarkable effort with the bat by one of the two things to prevent a Day 3 finish to this Test match. There are still plenty of overs left, which means that play will surely be extended by half an hour. India would want to settle for no less than two wickets.

IND vs AUS Live Score: After a maiden first over in Test cricket, Harshit Rana gives Travis Head just a little room but it's enough for him to cash in. Cuts the ball for a boundary and gets off the mark. That's how he plays. India have seen enough of Travis Head in the last three ICC matches, they don't want any more of it. And just as we speak, Rana produces another short and wide ball which Head smashes for FOUR.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Twice in two overs has Marnus Labuschagne copped a couple of heavy blows to his body. If in the previous over, it was the big man, the debutant Harshit Rana, this time it's Bumrah. Challenging conditions for batting here. Padikkal went 23 balls for 0; Labuschagne has already faced 20… without opening his account. IT'S THAT TOUGH! Imagine if India had Mohammed Shami in there too.

IND vs AUS Live Score: See it to believe it folks. Jasprit Bumrah is all over the Australian top order. First Khawaja, then Steve Smith out LBW for a golden duck. Bumrah misses the hat-trick as Travis Head barely survives but the best bowler in in full flow.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Edged and Kohli grabs it safely this time at second slip. We told you it might just work and Bumrah has responded. The ball angled in nicely and Khawaja's defence just not strong enough. Flies off the outside edge and Kohli makes no mistake. Australia lose their 2nd wicket for 19.

IND vs AUS Live Score: The ball is still new and sensing the opportunity, Bumrah has made a wide call to go round the wicket to Usman Khawaja. Last over, Khawaja pulled Siraj for a boundary – just some slight room provided – but the Indian captain now wants to close it down and cramp him for room. Not a bad call by any stretch of the imagination. Khawaja and Marnus still look a little unsettled and in it lies India's chance to go for the jugular.

IND vs AUS Live Score: There hasn't been a run scored in 17 balls as it's all thanks to the relentless pressure India have put on the Aussie batters, led by that man Bumrah. He is doing to them what the Aussie new-ball bowlers did to the Indians a couple of hours ago. Hitting the right lengths, getting the ball and the batters to dance around and creating chances. Labuschagne testes early. He's getting rapped on the pads and beaten outside off, but luckily for Australia, he has protected his wicket thus far.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Oh no! Virat Kohli, what have you done? Two balls after he got his DRS instincts right, Kohli drops a sitter. The ball takes Marnus Labuschagne's bat's outside edge and seemed to nestle into Kohli's hands nicely, but as the fielders went up in a bit of a premature celebration, Kohli slipped up and lost control. Immediately he says no and what a miss this is. Could have had Austrlia two down. Bumrah looks up towards the heavens.

IND vs AUS Live Score: OUT! India get one early and it's Jasprit Bumrah with the wicket of Nathan McSweeney. As the ball rapped the batter on the pads, there was some confusion with folks behind the wicket hearing two sounds. Rishabh Pant wasn't convinced, Bumrah was in two minds. But Kohli saw and sensed something no one else did. "Ley ley," he says, meaning "TAKE IT", and boy what a call it turned out to be.

Australia 14/1 in 2.3 overs.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Ah! Not ideal for India. Siraj squares up McSweeney with an outside edge but as the ball lands short of the fielders in the slips, that it was a misfield has caused Siraj some frustration. He comes back with a cracker as the ball hits Sweeney on the pads offering no shot, but hey, it's Perth. One in 10 LBWs would be given out. Huge appeal but Siraj is calmed down by his teammates.

Australia 13/0 after 2 overs vs India.

IND vs AUS Live Score: All right then, what can India get up to here. Usman Khawaja is on strike with debutant Nathan McSweeney at the other end. Captain Jasprit Bumrah has the shiny new red cherry in his hands. How India could use a few early wickets from him.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Mitchell Starc made the early inroads and Pat Cummins squeezed the life out of the Indians after coming on as first change but it is hard to think of a bowler more consistent with his line than Josh Hazlewood. He has stayed on good length mostly in that channel outside off stump, going short only to surprise Kohli today and getting a wicket off that as well. Hazlewood has finished the innings with figures of 4/29 in 13 overs.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Which may not be much of a surprise, considering we were already well past the scheduled time for the end of the second session. Well, if India are not able to make the most of the conditions the way Australia have and if they do ease off in any way, they are in for a hard, hard Test in Perth. Nitish Kumar Reddy has shown his potential though and India would be very happy with the fact that they seem to have a strong prospect to fill up that spot which Hardik Pandya would've filled had his body allowed him to do it.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Khawaja dropped a dolly two balls ago off Reddy, and now he has taken a much more difficult catch to dismiss him and end the Indian innings. Nitish Kumar Reddy is the last man to fall and he has played a very impressive knock indeed.

Reddy c Khawaja b Cummins 41 (59)

India 150 all out

IND vs AUS Live Score: India are down to their last wicket and so Tea has been pushed back by a maximum of half an hour. Reddy is on strike and Cummins is steaming in to bowl the 50th over, the all-rounder was on 35 off 55 balls. Mohammed Siraj at the other end.

India 144/9 in 49 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Bumrah managed a six off the third ball of that over. Hazlewood goes full last ball, Bumrah goes forward and pushes at it. Edged and regulation catch for Carey. India down to their last wicket now.

Bumrah c Carey b Hazlewood 8 (8)

India 144/9 in 49 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Reddy trying to farm strike now. He is forced to take a single off the fourth ball but then captain Jasprit Bumrah easily takes a single off the fifth one, bringing Reddy back on strike. Cummins bowls a short one to end that over, Reddy decides he has had enough and upper cuts it for a six over slips. As you do. Reddy has moved to 34 off 54 but now Bumrah has to face Hazlewood.

India 136/8n in 48 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: A thick edge off Harshit Rana's blade fourth ball of the 47th by Hazlewood. It went quickly towards slip and so McSweeney dives and parries at the ball at gully after it had gone behind him somewhat. The ball pops out of his hands but Labuschagne is alert right behind him and takes the rebound. Well that will probably go down as the catch of the match.

Rana c Labuschagne b Hazlewood 7 (5)

India 128/8 in 46.4 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: And that is the end of that little counter-attacking stand. Cummins goes full and Pant looks to drive it. It takes the edge and flew fast to Smith above his head. He is a very good slip fielder though and he demonstrates that by making that catch look easy. That partnership has produced 48 runs in 85 balls.

Pant c Smith b Cummins 37 (78)

India 121/7 in 46 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Pant and Reddy have now put on 48 runs off 75 balls. Pant on 37 off 73 balls at the end of the 44th over from Cummins, Reddy on 27 off 43 balls. There have been boundaries in the two overs before this but none in this one. Now Hazlewood continues for this 11th over.

India 121/6 in 44 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Well, Rishabh Pant has been playing Test cricket for six years and so one would think that we would get used to something like this by now. But nope. Pat Cummins charges in last ball of he 42nd over, full delivery, Pant moves all the way across so quickly he just loses his balance completely, but who cares? He has middled that and it travels all the way over deep backward square leg for a six! That is a no-look six, simply because Pant was rolling on the ground when the ball was soaring over the boundary. He moves to 39 off 69, Reddy on 22 off 35, India finally have some kind of a partnership going.

India 114/6 in 42 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Wow, how good is this youngster looking on his first day in Test cricket! Reddy reverse sweeps Lyon for the umpteenth time second ball of the 40th, the batters run two and that brings up 100. He then defends the next ball, works the fourth ball off the pads leg side and then defends the fifth ball off the back foot. Then Reddy whips out the reverse sweep again last ball, it goes through point for a four. Reddy has moved to 21 off 31, Pant on 28 off 61 balls.

India 105/6 in 40 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Well when Pant is out there, chances like these are bound to come and this time, the Australian captain cannot hold on. Fourth ball of the 39th over from Starc, Pant looks to smash the pacer down the ground. It goes high up in the air, Cummins was always trying to reach it and then can't quite judge it, makes a meal of it. Pant is on 27 off 60 at the end of that over, Reddy on 15 off 26 balls.

India 98/6 in 39 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Australia appeal for caught behind, the umpire doesn't give it and they decide against reviewing it. Had they done it, though, they would have seen the back of Reddy. Starc continues in the 37th, Pant pushes the fourth ball to cover for a single. Reddy seemed to be trying to get inside the line of the ball trying a flick but ended up sort of half leaving it. The bowler and the keeper appeal, but they don't seem to be quite sure when discussing with Cummins. Replays come immediately after the DRS countdown ends and that shows that there was glove. Reddy takes a single off the last ball and Starc tells him: "You've got a good poker face haven't ya? You must be good at poker?" Ah drama.

India 93/6 in 37 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Lyon's second ball is full and is pumped down the ground over the infield for a four by Reddy. Then he dances down the track fifth ball and smashes it inside out past mid-off for another four. Reddy on 10 off 16 at the end of that over, Pant on 25 off 52.

India 91/6 in 36 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Cummins took himself off and brought back Starc for the 35th over. Reddy took a single off the third ball of that over, his second run in 10 balls. Now Nathan Lyon replaces Mitch Marsh at the other end, just when Rishabh Pant seemed to be looking to be more proactive. It is Reddy who will face him though. Pant is on 25 off 52 balls, Reddy on two off 10.

India 83/6 in 35 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Well India have stacked batters until No.8 but this latest collapse means that Nitish Kumar Reddy is their last recognised batter and we are in just the 33rd over. Sunil Gavaskar makes a point in the commentary box that the Indian batters have been punished for their lack of backfoot play, with the advent of limited overs cricket making it a habit for them to stay committed on the front foot. It meant that a player of Virat Kohli's stature had no answers when Josh Hazlewood suddenly went short. Wonder if head coach Gautam Gambhir still doesn't see any reasons to be concerned with his team's batting lineup. Reddy on nought off six balls, Pant on 18 off 44.

India 74/6 in 33 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Washington guides it to the wicketkeeper and Mitchell Marsh gets his second! He looks back in surprise and the umpire takes his time to raise the finger but he does it. Sundar looks at where the ball pitched again and then walks. He is gone fair and square though, regardless of how surprised he may be. Back of a length delivery outside off, the bounce surprises Sundar and that's that.

Sundar c Carey b Marsh 4 (15)

India 73/6 in 31.4 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Just four runs off the 31st over by Cummins, his 10th and it is quite amazing that he is yet to get a wicket today. Marsh returns for his third over in the 32nd comes charging in for the first ball but Pant's bat slips out of his hands at the non-striker's end. Washington pulls out because of that, by which point Marsh was into his delivery stride. He walks back with a smile and raises his hands in playful frustration towards his Delhi Capitals teammate Pant, who then apologises with a chuckle. Pant is on 17 off 24 at the start of that over, Sundar on four off nine.

India 71/5 in 31 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: There is the Pant we are all familiar with. He has been cautious today, having made just 10 runs in 32 balls at the start of the 29th over from Cummins. Washington Sundar gets off strike second ball and then Pant comes charging outside the crease to the third ball, absolutely slices the air around his bat in half with a big heave. It takes an edge and soars over slips, takes a few bounces before going to the boundary for a four. He gets off strike fifth ball and then a dot. Pant isn 15 off 35, Sundar on one off four. Marsh continues in the 30th over.

India 66/5 in 29 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Edged and taken at second slip! Dhruv Jurel's stay ends. That's yet another top five collapse then. That top half of the batting order has been missing for the past three Tests for India. Marsh hasn't really increased his pace in his short spell thus far but that is exactly what he does now. Jurel done for pace as he looks to defend forward and edges it to Marnus Labuschagne who takes a good low catch.

Jurel c Labuschagne b Marsh 11 (20)

India 59/5 in 27.5 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: And a big change straightaway for Australia. Mitchell Marsh has reoplaced Nathan Lyon. Pant is on strike, he has scored 10 in 24 balls, DHruv Jurel on four off 10.

India 51/4 in 25 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: While Star Sports shows footage of India's past successes against Australia at Lunch after a brief token discussion on the session, 7Cricket in Australia has aired Simon Taufel, the former umpire, explaining why the third umpire may asked Richard Kettleborough to reverse his decision.

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Australia's session through and through. We can ask a thousand questions on whether Rahul was out or not but the fact remains that the Indian batters didn't have any answers to Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins. Starc has figures of 2/10 in eight overs, Hazlewood has recorded 2/10 in eight overs as well. Cummins has returned figures of 0/23.

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Oh KL Rahul is absolutely miffed by that. Australia celebrate more than they appeal second ball as the ball flies to the wicketkeeper off the second ball of the 23rd by Mitchell Starc. The umpire gives not out and Cummins takes the review. There is a spike when the ball is close to the edge but there is no offside angle which may have given clarity. That is because it wasn't quite clear whether the ball had really taken any of the bat when that spike came. It would've been a feather edge which should've only produced a tiny spike but then this was a big bunt. Moreover, Rahul's bat seems to hit his pads almost at the same time of all that. But with no off side angle available, the third umpire decides that there was a spike and asks a rather surprised-looking Richard Kettleborough to reverse his decision. Rahul walks off vigorously shaking his head and gesticulating to his bat and pad angrily. Penny for his thoughts, his vigil ends in this manner.

Rahul c Carey b Starc 26 (74)

India 47/4 in 23 overs

India vs Australia LIVE Score 1st Test: Here we go. Nathan Lyon to bowl his first over with about 15 minutes to go for Lunch and the man on strike will be Rishabh Pant, who played some utterly stunning shots against the Aussie spin greats in the last tour. Let's see how this goes. Pant is on six off 12, Rahul on 43/3 in 21 overs

India 43/3 in 21 overs
