    This has been a very expensive over.

  2. Aus 17-1

    That over had a little bit of everything.

    A wide, a four, a six, and a run out opportunity as Ravindra Jadeja takes aim at the stumps and narrowly misses as Australia dash through for a single. Travis Head would've been gone if that had hit.

    13 runs off the over.

  3. 6 runs

    Aus 16-1

    BOOM! That will settle Australia's nerves. Travis Head heaves Hardik Pandya over deep square leg for six.

  4. Henry Moeran

    Travis Head finally gets a hold of one.

  5. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I don't think Shubman Gill moved his feet very well there.

  6. Aus 10-1

    Travis Head finally gets one away and Australia have their first boundary. A little bit lazy in the field from Shubman Gill?

  7. Ben Jones
    CricViz analyst

    That was a horror knock for Cooper Connolly. He played and missed six times before nicking off - that's the most in a sub-10 ball innings since records began (in 2006).

  8. Aus 5-1

    Another wide from Hardik Pandya. Please and thank you, say Australia.

  9. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A very peculiar, very strange start to this innings. You wouldn't think this surface is possible because it's Australia.

    All the pressure eventually tells.

    WICKET

    Connolly c Rahul b Shami 0 (Aus 4-1)

    Connolly out for nine-ball duck

    He's edged it!

    India were absolutely convinced that Cooper Connolly got his bat on that. It's a good catch by wicketkeeper KL Rahul, who gets down very low to his left.

    Mohammed Shami makes the breakthrough for India. Steve Smith wanders out to bat.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I heard a noise, I think it's hit right at the bottom of the bat.

  13. Umpire review

    Has Cooper Connolly got an edge on this? He looks a little guilty.

    India are causing some problems for Australia.

    It's a funny old watch this.

  15. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    You've got to put pressure back on the bowlers on a surface like this but you can't be reckless.

  16. Aus 4-0

    Swing and a miss. Rinse. Repeat. That's the story of Cooper Connolly versus Mohammed Shami, and the India bowler is very frustrated by this.

  17. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    It's so unlike Travis Head to be one off nine balls.

  18. Aus 3-0

    The early signs are that this pitch is very slow and Hardik Pandya has already found a bit of movement.

    He gets one to nip back in to Travis Head, who swings and misses as he goes for a big pull. KL Rahul is briefly interested in a catch behind the stumps but there's clearly no bat on it.

  19. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Already we've seen this surface give something to the bowlers and we've not even seen any spin yet.

    The Writing Desk 27: Really looking forward to this. As much as we like upsets, it's the meeting of giants that produces top games (think Djokovic v Nadal). India are strong especially with spin, but I always fancy Australia at the crunch.
