Aussie openers less aggressive after taking 105-run lead

With a lead of 105 and all 10 wickets in hand at lunch on Day 4 of the first Test, Australia were in the driver’s seat at the Adelaide Oval.

Unlike in the first innings,  David Warner and Chris Rogers were less aggressive, but then that mainly due to the fact that Australia knew they were in a commanding position. Rogers was not out on 19 while Warner was on 13 when players took lunch.

India bowlers, too, were far better in their line and length than in the first innings, providing little room  to Warner in particular, who had raced away to a flying start on Day One.
