India vs Australia 2020 Live score and last update of the first test in Adelaide: Team India takes the lead at the end of the second day’s action. The bowlers put on a good show today, ensuring Australia gets 191 in response to India’s 244. The total for the hosts would have been much lower if it weren’t for a fighting blow from their captain Tim Paine. Shaw missed again, but Bumrah’s hitting stole the spotlight in the closing minutes of the day. Australian bowlers need to do well tomorrow if they want to snatch the test. India will be looking to hit all day tomorrow.
Day 1 report: Ajinkya Rahane left without their captain Virat Kohli after a terrible confusion, causing a mini collapse to give Australia an advantage over India after an intense opening day of the first day and night test at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
Master hitter Kohli looked set for a 28 century test after crouching down to steady the boat when he hit 32 for two.
But in the last session of the day, Rahane pressed on a delivery from Nathan Lyon and took off running, only to rescue, leaving Kohli stranded in the middle of the field after his 74 battles.
He spoiled a wrestling recovery from India, which lost Prithvi Shaw to a fierce Mitchell Starc in the first over of the day and was fighting when Pat Cummins caught Mayank Agarwal.
To make matters worse, Rahane fell by 42 shortly after and then Hanuma Vihari went by 16, leaving the visitors at 233 by six at the end and Australia in charge of the first test that both sides have played since the beginning of the year due to the coronavirus. pandemic.
Wriddhiman Saha was not out of nine and Ravi Ashwin undefeated at 15.
Starc was the Australian bowlers’ choice at 2-49, with Josh Hazlewood, Cummins and Lyon getting one each.
“We are very happy with where we are, but we still have a lot of work to do,” Lyon said.
“Obviously, he (Kohli) was hitting extremely well, so very happy with that one. Obviously, a field like that, or a race away, especially Virat Kohli, was huge.”
A stubborn Cheteshwar Pujara (43 of 160 balls) and Kohli had led the comeback.
Kohli, in his only test before heading home for the birth of his first child, was lucky enough to survive on five, shoving a short ball off the pad of Cummins’ bowling bat, with Matthew Wade simply failing to get his hands on it. under the ball.
He also benefited from what appeared to be a mistake Tim Paine made in choosing not to review a catch behind, which replays showed may have slipped out of his glove.
Undeterred, Kohli brought out a stubborn 23rd Half-Century Test with a Cummins single in front of a coronavirus-limited crowd.
Twilight is supposed to be the hardest time to hit in a day and night test with the ball spinning more than normal, but Kohli didn’t seem concerned until Rahane’s collapse.
“We were in a very good position,” Pujara said.
“But I feel like we’re only down six, Ash can hit, Saha can hit, even our lower order will try to contribute as many runs as possible.”
“So we still have a very good chance of getting close to 275,300 and you never know we can get 350 too,” he added.
Spectacular start
Lyon made a breakthrough by eliminating Pujara, whose 123 and 71 prepared India for a 31 run
