PERTH : Australia's bowling attack was left dejected at lunch on day three of the first test in Perth, as India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal cruised to 141 not out to help take his team to 275-1, and a 321-run lead, on Sunday.
Young opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal notched up a special century as India took the driving seat in the ongoing Perth Test against Australia on Day 3. Jaiswal, who concluded the second day's play with 90 runs under his belt, didn't take much time to score the next 10, bringing up his 4th Test century on Sunday. As the entire Optus Stadium in Perth stood up and took notice of Jaiswal's heroic show, how the talented batter brought up his hundred said it all about his mindset.
Australia fell to a historic low after India's pace blitz left the hosts tottering on Day 2 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth. The rivalry between two modern-day Test heavyweights has lived up to the expectations with the on-field action in every aspect. On the opening day, when India folded on 150, all signs pointed in favour of Australia's dominance. But India pacers, spearheaded by stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah, dug deep, upped the ante, and made Australia perish on 104.
Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan had a hilarious take on the way the Perth Test strip changed in just two days of play during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener between India and Australia. On the opening day, the Perth surface was covered in grass with pacers of both sides enjoying movement and bounce, a paradise for the quicks. But on the second day, the outlook of the turf completely changed. The movement from the surface became minimal as cracks slowly started appearing on the strip.
Star batter Virat Kohli flopped with the bat in the 1st innings of the ongoing 1st Test against Australia in Perth. Despite a stellar record in Australia, the former India captain lasted just 12 balls before fending off a climbing Hazlewood delivery that took an edge to Usman Khawaja at slip. As Kohli's barren patch continued, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar pointed out major flaw in the star batter's technique. He feels Kohli has been struggling against the shorter delivery of late.
PERTH :Australia were bowled out for 104 on Saturday after fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah picked up his 11th five-wicket haul to help India to a 46-run lead at lunch on day two of the first test in Perth.
India are dominating Australia in the first Test. Captain Jasprit Bumrah picked a dazzling 5-30 as India secured a handy 46-run lead at lunch on day two of first Test after bowling out Australia for 104 in 51.2 overs at Perth Stadium on Saturday. It is also the third lowest-score for Australia in Tests at home since 2000. In the morning, resuming form 67/7, India looked certain to end the innings early, but Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood frustrated them with a dogged last-wicket stand of 25 off 110 balls, as they were able to keep the deficit below 50 runs. Apart from Bumrah, debutant all-rounder Harshit Rana finished with 3-48.
India captain Jasprit Bumrah deservedly got his 11th five-wicket haul while debutant Harshit Rana bowled a fiery opening spell as Australia were bowled out for 104 at the stroke of lunch despite a stiff last-wicket resistance from Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood on the second day of the opening Test here on Saturday. The Indian team would be a touch disappointed that they couldn't get a handy lead, which seemed to be on the cards once Australia were reduced to 79 for 9. But Starc (26 off 113 balls) shielded Hazlewood (7 not out off 31 balls) admirably during their 25-run last-wicket stand that lasted 18 overs and got the lead below 50 (46 runs), making it a contest of who bats better in the second innings.
