Earlier in the game, the Indian skipper Virat Kohli won the toss and decided to bat first with Prithvi Shaw and Mayank Agarwal -walking out to bat on Thursday. Mitchell Starc started with the new ball for the hosts and provided them with an early breakthrough. Starc bowled full wide of off stump and Shaw tried to drive him away from his body, only managing an inside edge which rattled his timber.

After his departure, Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara played some gritty knocks and saw off the opening hour of day’s play without losing any more wickets. Pujara looked solid as ever, while Agarwal also fought hard for his 17 runs.

However, Agarwal failed to make the most of his start as Pat Cummins, the No. 1 fast bowler in the longest format, bowled him through the gate with a wonderful delivery after he had leaned forward to defend, leaving a considerable gap between his bat and pad. After Agarwal’s departure, Pujara was joined in by Kohli in the middle, with scoreboard reading 32/2.
