New Delhi, Feb 10: Rohit Sharma hits his ninth Test century on Friday, while Ravindra Jadeja is tightly holding the other end. After Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed by Nathan Lyon, India is now five behind.
Todd Murphy, a rookie off-spinner from Australia, has taken the final four Indian wickets. India scored 77 for 1 on Day 1 after dismissing Australia for 177 runs. The majority of the bowling was performed by Ravindra Jadeja, who finished with his 11th five-for (5 for 47) in 22 overs to aid India in removing Australia for a pitiful total after the visitors elected to take the first strike in the series opener. In the process of taking 3 for 42, Ravichandran Ashwin reached 450 wickets in Test cricket.
