If you can’t see the blog click he was sort of like a sitting duck in many ways. It’s such a tricky balance.” “Looks like probably of the four wickets we’ve seen so far, potentially the flattest on day one. “It’s just playing what’s in front of us really, obviously the scores haven’t been big throughout this whole series. “It’s almost un-Australian. Newcomer Murphy has been economical and got Virat Kohli out three times. So yeah, there might be opportunities for bigger totals on this wicket.” It was wayward start for Indian seamers Mohammad Shami and Umesh Yadav, who bowled several deliveries down the leg side during their opening spell.

The third ball of the over is straight and Head finally gets some willow on one, driving powerfully to mid on but a good dive in the field keeps it to a single. He had five runs from his first 26 balls in Indore but then rattled the sabre to finish with 49 from 53 with half a dozen fours and a marvellous six to get Australia home in style. The fourth ball from Shami starts wide, Khawaja gives it a wider berth and ended up being the widest wide of the series, piercing first and second slip and running away to the third man boundary. Head heaves it off his hip pocket and sends it to the rope. 2nd over: Australia 10-0 (Head 0, Khawaja 4) So sundries outscoring batters so far, with four byes, a leg bye and a wide getting Australia to double-figures in the first over. Head takes a single from the second and Khawaja to swipe a four from the fifth. But the short point fielder had stopped it and as he scurried to collect and throw Khawaja realised the danger and swivelled and lunged for home. he seems to have pulled the trigger again, stepping inside the line to hit Shami past the fielder at mid on and all the way to the boundary. And Head does it again to the last, stepping out and taking it off his toes to punch it through cover. Khawaja had stroked a lovely two and he strolled down three paces to the next ball from Ashwin and nonchalantly rolled the wrists to turn it down legside and set off. Instead, he squeezes on the sixth ball, leaning back to a half-tracker and hammering it to the deep square boundary. Shami put it on a good length and Labuschagne stepped out to meet it but it straightened on him and he’s gone.

Throughout the middle of my career, I got told I couldn’t play spin and that’s why I never got an opportunity to play in India. “Coaches told me this is going to be the best warm-up of your life. Unable to warm up with a few deliveries, and with barely any time to measure and mark their run-ups, due to the pre-game programme of the prime ministers, the Indian fast bowlers looked a touch out of sorts with the new ball.

There have been few instances of visiting batters being comfortable against India in India and this was one of them.

The six false responses in 33 overs in the middle session was the highest control percentage for a visiting side in India in a session of Test cricket in India in the last 10 years. With a 70-over old ball, Shami managed to hold the line to go past Handscomb's edge and send the off stump on a cartwheel. Here, India took the new ball with nine overs to go, and Green took to it. With not much expected from their lower order, Australia had to be watchful in the middle session. Only to lose the gamble with the new ball at the end of the day and hand Australia a slight advantage. Led by Ashwin, India started to turn the screws. This is when India would have been reminded of the A measure of how difficult it was for the bowlers is that India managed to draw only 34 false responses; there were 40 in the first session of the last Test. For long periods, Ashwin managed to keep the batters in check even though he didn't beat the bat. [R Ashwin](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin-26421)and [Ravindra Jadeja](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravindra-jadeja-234675)managed one each, and [Axar Patel](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/axar-patel-554691)provided control in his 12 overs for just 14 runs. Khawaja scored a fine, patient hundred, only the sixth against India in India in the last five years. Khawaja ended unbeaten on 104 having brought up the milestone in the last over of the day, and

100th over: Australia 269-4 (Khawaja 113, Green 54) It’s the 100th over. 92nd over: Australia 260-4 (Khawaja 107, Green 51) Khawaja dabs Patel to point and Cameron Green slams one down the ground. And it’s business as usual as Khawaja glides a single to third man giving 23-year-old allrounder Cameron Green the chance to notch one too and bring up his seventh Test half-century. And the waiting game is over for Cameron Green as Ashwin drifts one fuller and faster outside off and Green leans back and carves off a magnificent square cut to the boundary. After singles from the first two deliveries Khawaja opens his stance a little to the third, leans away to a straighter ball and punches it to the on-side boundary. 108th over: Australia 300-4 (Khawaja 133, Green 65) Can the poetry of Harry Styles and the power of watermelon sugar alchemise for India in the form of a wicket? That’s Khawaja’s first boundary of the day – a testament to the patience of the man. That’s the furrow in captain Rohit Sharma’s brow at the moment as one run comes from the over and Australia start the climb to 400. It skates across the baize to the boundary to take Green to 70. That first ball from Jadeja ripped out of the rough outside Khawaja’s off stump and jagged back to bounce high up on the inside edge and fly over leg stump and past the wicketkeeper for a lucky four! The Cameron Green-Usman Khawaja partnership has blossomed to 177 from 290 balls – the biggest of the series so far – and looks unbreakable. Green takes a single and a breather, content to go to lunch with his highest score banked and a first Test ton in sight.

Struggling to play in the sub-continent once upon a time, Khawaja has come a long way and in the last 11 Tests in Asia since 2018, he has managed to maintain an average of 75. Shami struck again in the first over of a new spell, as he rattled Peter Handscomb’s middle-stump. On a surface that looked flat and played better than any other in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy so far, Australia won the crucial toss on Thursday and decided to grind the Indian bowlers down. Green steals a quick run, could’ve been dangerous as the ball went straight to Jadeja, one of the best fielders in the world right now. Day 2 is going to be a hard graft for the bowlers. Hint of swing straight away as the ball jagged back in, Green pushes it for a single. Pitched outside off, Khawaja tries to defend but it takes an outside edge but falls short of the keeper KS Bharat. Too short for Ashwins liking and Green rocks back and puts it away for a FOUR through extra covers. Meanwhile Umesh is struggling to reverse the ball and that is proving costly for India. Drifting down the pads and Khawaja moves it feet well and flicks it square for a FOUR. A single brings up the 100-run partnership between Khawaja and Green. Shami tries to go short, but didn’t get the expected bounce as Green hoks it without trouble for a FOUR!
