Australia, India grind through competitive day one of slow-scoring Test cricket at Adelaide Oval
A late-night flurry of wickets with the second new ball has helped Australia regain a foothold in the first Test as India compiled 6-233 on an enthralling day one at Adelaide Oval.
India crawled towards a competitive total on a day where scoring was a chore, with a slow outfield and tricky pitch making for a slow run rate of 2.61.
Indian captain Virat Kohli (74) had batted with supreme levels of discipline and restraint to help India compile a credible score over the course of an attritional day of cricket.
However, his run out, followed by the taking of the second new ball under lights, helped Australia wrest back control of the contest.
