26.3 : 26.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Mitchell Starc, Four! |
24.2 : 24.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Pat Cummins, OUT! c Rishabh Pant b Jasprit Bumrah. |
23.5 : 23.5: Harshit Rana to Alex Carey, Four! |
23.4 : 23.4: Harshit Rana to Alex Carey, Four! |
20.6 : 20.6: Mohammed Siraj to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! LBW! This looks dead straight! Marnus Labuschagne has taken the review. Does he think it is going down leg or did he get some bat on it? |
20.1 : 20.1: Mohammed Siraj to Alex Carey, FOUR! Quality shot! Angling across the batter, on a good length, Alex Carey does not slash hard at the delivery this time, which he did in the previous over of Siraj. He lets the ball come to him and opens the bat face to hit it through backward point for a boundary. |
16.5 : 16.5: Mohammed Siraj to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! c KL Rahul b Mohammed Siraj. |
13.2 : 13.2: Harshit Rana to Mitchell Marsh, FOUR! A shot of authority from the Bison! Pitched fuller and on off, Mitchell Marsh commits on the front foot and drives it down the ground for a cracking boundary. Lovely extension of elbows on that one. |
11.1 : 11.1: Harshit Rana to Travis Head, OUT! BOWLED'EM! KNOCKED HIM OVER! What a moment for Harshit Rana as he gets the dangerous Travis Head as his first Test wicket. He is all pumped up and rightly so! Australia have now been reduced to 31/4. |
9.3 : 9.3: Harshit Rana to Travis Head, No ball and Four! |
9.1 : 9.1: Harshit Rana to Travis Head, FOUR! Slashed away in trademark Travis Head fashion! |
6.5 : 6.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Steven Smith, OUT! LBW! Jasprit Bumrah is on a roll and what a call by the on-air commentator as well. |
6.4 : 6.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Usman Khawaja, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah leading from the front and its game on here in Perth! |
5.3 : 5.3: Mohammed Siraj to Usman Khawaja, FOUR! All the built-up pressure is released with that loose delivery. Fractionally short on middle and leg, Usman Khawaja stays back and swivels before pulling it well behind square leg for a welcome boundary. |
2.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Nathan McSweeney, OUT! LBW! A prolonged appeal but LBW but the umpire says no. Seemed like two noises there but the Indians gather together and opt for the review driven mostly by Virat Kohli. Nagging length from Jasprit Bumrah |
1.5 : 1.5: Mohammed Siraj to Nathan McSweeney, FOUR! Edged and through, should have been stopped! |
0.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Nathan McSweeney, FOUR! Errs in line does Bumrah and Nathan McSweeney is off the mark in Test cricket with a boundary. Full and just sliding down the legs, McSweeney with a leg glance, played fine and past the keeper for four runs. |
49.4 : 49.4: Pat Cummins to Nitish Kumar Reddy, OUT! CAUGHT! Well, that's one way to make up for the earlier dropped catch. Pat Cummins hurls in yet another short-pitched delivery and angles it in from around middle. Nitish Kumar Reddy hangs back and looks to take it on but the ball gets big on him and the pull is miscued over the mid-wicket region. Usman Khawaja runs back and puts in a big slide to grab a fine catch and Reddy's fine debut knock comes to an end on 41. Cummins finishes with a couple |
49.3 : 49.3: Pat Cummins to Nitish Kumar Reddy, Four! |
48.6 : 48.6: Josh Hazlewood to Jasprit Bumrah, OUT! c Alex Carey b Josh Hazlewood. |
48.3 : 48.3: Josh Hazlewood to Jasprit Bumrah, SIX! Right off the top edge but carries all the way! |
47.6 : 47.6: Pat Cummins to Nitish Kumar Reddy, SIX! Outrageous from Nitish Kumar Reddy! Banged in short over off and angling in, Reddy bends his back and just ramps it over deep third for a biggie. For a minute, the fielder in the deep looked to be in action but that one has sailed over his head. |
46.4 : 46.4: Josh Hazlewood to Harshit Rana, OUT! c Marnus Labuschagne b Josh Hazlewood. |
46.3 : 46.3: Josh Hazlewood to Harshit Rana, FOUR! A bit streaky but good intent from Harshit Rana here. Slightly pitched up around off, Rana looks to drive but is late on it and gets a thick outside edge that goes through the slip cordon for a boundary. |
45.5 : 45.5: Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant, OUT! c Steven Smith b Pat Cummins. |
42.4 : 42.4: Josh Hazlewood to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! Lovely shot! Hazlewood bowls almost a half-volley on off, Nitish Kumar Reddy lands his front foot ahead, meets the ball on merit and drives it through the line and down the ground for a boundary. Growing in confidence, is Reddy. |
41.6 : 41.6: Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant, SIX! Gee, what was that shot? This is trademark Pant. Cummins bowls a half-volley around off, Rishabh Pant instead of knocking it around off, he plays the paddle shot aerially. He falls over as well but the ball powers behind deep fine for a six. |
39.6: Nathan Lyon to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! Well played! Lyon drops it around off, flat and full in length, Nitish Kumar Reddy is quick tor read the length and reverse sweeps it through the vacant deep backward point region for a boundary. Reddy moves into his 20s now. Looking confident so far. |
37.3 : 37.3: Nathan Lyon to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! That's a nicely executed shot! Flat, quick and on off from Lyon, Nitish Kumar Reddy employs the switch hit and gets it through the vacant short third region for a boundary. |
35.5 : 35.5: Nathan Lyon to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! Good use of the feet there by Nitish! Dropped fuller and around off, Nitish Kumar Reddy steps down the track and slaps it through covers for a cracking boundary. |
35.2 : 35.2: Nathan Lyon to Nitish Kumar Reddy, FOUR! Oh, what a glorious shot this from the debutant! Nicely tossed up, full and on middle, Nitish Kumar Reddy gets his front foot out of the way and lofts it with strong bottom hand. Gets it over the bowler and gets a boundary down the ground. |
33.1 : 33.1: Mitchell Marsh to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Audacious from Pant! Marsh lands it fuller and outside off, Rishabh Pant charges down the track and flat-bats it over mid off for a cracking boundary on a couple of bounces. |
31.4 : 31.4: Mitchell Marsh to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust as Mitchell Marsh picks up his second wicket and he is in a joyous mood out there. |
28.3 : 28.3: Pat Cummins to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! First sign of real aggression from Rishabh Pant but Pat Cummins won't mind that at all. Cummins goes around the wicket and hits the deck hard around off, Pant just steps out and gives it an agricultural heave but gets a top edge that flies down to deep third for a boundary. |
27.5 : 27.5: Mitchell Marsh to Dhruv Jurel, OUT! c Marnus Labuschagne b Mitchell Marsh. |
26.1 : 26.1: Pat Cummins to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR! Nicely done! |
24.4 : 24.4: Mitchell Starc to Dhruv Jurel, FOUR! Squeezed through the slips! |
22.2 : 22.2: Mitchell Starc to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mitchell Starc gets his second wicket and India are four down now. An appeal for caught behind but the umpire is unmoved. The Aussies have already started celebrating but no reaction from the umpire there. A review has been taken straight away. Starc hits the hard length, on off and gets it to deviate a bit away from the right-hander. KL Rahul takes a half stride forward and tries to meet the ball under the nose. He though plays inside the l |
21.3 : 21.3: Nathan Lyon to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Cheeky, very cheeky and gets it through! Quick, flat but down leg, Rishabh Pant uses the pace of the ball and laps it down to deep fine for a boundary. |
17.5 : 17.5: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Nice shot! Cummins bowls it quite full and just outside off, KL Rahul gets on the front foot and slices it through backward point for a boundary. |
16.2 : 16.2: Josh Hazlewood to Virat Kohli, OUT! c Usman Khawaja b Josh Hazlewood. |
15.6 : 15.6: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, FOUR! Classic textbook cover drive this time from Rahul! Very full from Pat Cummins, on off, KL Rahul takes a good stride and drives it through the cover-point gap for a cracking boundary. Moves into his 20s. |
11.5 : 11.5: Pat Cummins to KL Rahul, Four! |
10.6 : 10.6: Josh Hazlewood to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! c Alex Carey b Josh Hazlewood. |
