India beat Australia by 295 runs: first men’s Test, day four – as it happened

7m ago

19.11 AEDT
India were always going to win today, it was just a matter of how and when. Usman Khawaja went early to Mohammed Siraj to leave Australia in disarray at 17 for 4. Steve Smith scrapped for an hour and a half without hitting a boundary before Siraj had him caught behind just before lunch.

Travis Head decided attack was the best form of defence, hitting a rousing 89 from 101 balls before falling to the inevitable Jasprit Bumrah.

Mitch Marsh (47) and Alex Carey (37) also played nicely but it was an exercise in futilty. The emphatic nature of India’s victory was summed up by the final wicket, a delicious slower ball from Harshit Rana that bowled Carey neck and crop.

Geoff’s report will be on the site later but that’s all for our live coverage of a memorable first Test. See you in Adelaide.

Roll Eyes

They have been saying that for the past 10 years. But, still they go with the elderly players.

I cannot remember the last time these players played a Test match together. It has been one-dayers and T20 games for most of them.
