AUS 67/7 (27 ov, Alex Carey 19*, Mitchell Starc 6*, Jasprit Bumrah 4/17, IND vs AUS live score, 1st Test, day 2, Perth Stadium, November 22

Phew, take a breath everyone! What a day – just the 17 wickets to begin this series. Remarkably, India close the opening day on top. Bumrah has been magnificent, backed up by Siraj and Rana. India’s 150 looking a decent total at the moment. Reminds me a little of the opening day of the 2005 Ashes at Lord’s. Could batters today have done much differently? Some of the fast bowling has been outstanding. Reddy, on debut, showed what was possible when the ball got a little softer, although Australia should have had him early with a review they missed.
