Day 1 of the Adelaide Test comes to an end. Australia will be happy as India post 233/6. Kohli opted to bat with a bit of cloud cover and Shaw was sent back on the second ball of the game to Starc.

Mayank promised for a while and then it was Pujara vs Lyon. Kohli, when he came to bat respected the bowlers but also played some nice pull shots. He along with his vice-captain formed a good partnership before Rahane sold him down the river.

Kohli's wicket became the turning point of the day and then within 19 runs, three wickets were lost. After losing Rahane and Vihari, Ashwin along with Saha will need to stay positive and if India could cross 300 it's a big bonus.

WICKET! Three wickets for 19 runs. Not something India needed. Vihari was playing for outswing, beaten all ends up on the defence, hit on the back leg and Hazlewood knew it was plumb he put out a running appeal. Vihari decides not to waste a review. Hanuma Vihari lbw 16 (25). Ravichandran Ashwin, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease. India 206/6

04:25 PM

Rahane was given Lbw and he just walks off. Vihari runs to him and asks him to review. While only bat can save him, the fact that he walked off suggests he didn't hit it. Starc slipped out a gentle full delivery that just moved a tad. Rahane lbw 42 (92). Wriddhiman Saha, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease. India 196/5

04:07 PM

Bad call from Rahane, and that lead to Kohli's dismissal. Rahane pushes the delivery to the left of mid-off and starts to run. Kohli sees him and runs immediately. Kohli goes for 74 (180). Hanuma Vihari, the right-handed bat, comes to the crease. India are 188/4

03:24 PM

Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane are battling out the night conditions very well here. Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins are all getting some assistance from the wicket and Virat Kohli is hanging in there as he moves to 62. India are 148/3

WICKET! Massive moment for Australia and they opt for the review. It was initially not given but replays and hot spot showed that there was a massive inside edge. Cheteshwar Pujara falls for 43 and India are 100/3.

01:49 PM

Cheteshwar Pujara did not hit a single boundary for 148 balls but now he hits two consecutive off Nathan Lyon. The fifty-run partnership is up between Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara and Australia are now slightly under the pump. After 49 overs, India are 98/2.

Cheteshwar Pujara and Mayank Agarwal are making slow progress as the Australian bowlers get some swing and purchase with the new Pink Ball. Pujara is once again following the old method where he will grind the Australian bowlers down with his defence. India are 7/1 in the sixth over.

WICKET! What a start for Australia. Mitchell Starc, who is the leading wicket-taker in Pink Ball Tests, removes Prithvi Shaw cheaply in the second ball of the match. Swing, pace and Prithvi Shaw's poor run continues. India 0/1 after 0.2 overs.
