Australia v India: fourth men’s cricket Test, day one – as it happened | Australia cricket team

86th over: Australia 311-6 (Smith 68, Cummins 6) A swinging yorker from Bumrah is played well by Cummins, who clips it into the leg side for a couple. Those are the last runs of a terrific day’s play, one that will be forever associated with the audacious brilliance of Sam Konstas.

Good lord, that’s unplayable! Akash Deep, given the new ball ahead of Siraj, starts with a monstrous seaming lifter that Carey tickles through to Pant. It’s Deep’s first wicket of the innings, deserved reward for some terrific bowling. He’s arguably been India’s best bowler today, even though Bumrah has three-for.

That’s all he needs. Marsh drives nicely for four, is hit on the glove by a nasty lifter and then top-edges a lusty pull through to Rishabh Pant. He’s usually so good on the pull but that zipped off the pitch and was on him too quickly. I’m not sure it was short enough for the shot either.

Happy tidings of the Yule. Now that I think about it, I’ve never thought to check what Yule means. Yuletide could be the guy from The King and I doing an album of Vance Joy covers. Regardless, what with all of those logs and whatnot, I’m going to assume that most people had a festive time. In most of Australia, Christmas was stinking hot, in the UK it’s been cold and bleh to a moderate sort of level, and wherever else you were in the world, it was something else. Or still is something else, for those on the negative side of Greenwich Mean.

Whatever the case, it is Boxing Day in Melbourne, and that means one thing. We are about to send 13 players and two umpires into the middle of the MCG to suffer in ridiculous heat all day. In Melbourne the temperature didn’t drop out of the 20s all night, it will be into the 30s by the time the toss takes place, and it will be up towards 40 degrees by the end of the afternoon.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the ICC doesn’t have an extreme heat policy, even though the world is getting hotter. Cricket Australia does have one, where something called the Heat Stress Risk Index can be calculated to theoretically suspend games if it gets hot enough. But at this level of heat they usually just have extra drink breaks.

Key occasions

Konstas’s joyous, impudent 65-ball 60, a debut innings like no different, gave Australia a grip on the sport that they could not relinquish. India loosened it barely over the last session, once they decreased Australia from 237 for two to 299 for six, however total it was Australia’s day. And it was undeniably Sam Konstas’s day.

86th over: Australia 311-6 (Smith 68, Cummins 6) A swinging yorker from Bumrah is performed effectively by Cummins, who clips it into the leg facet for a pair. These are the final runs of a terrific day’s play, one which will likely be perpetually related to the audacious brilliance of Sam Konstas.

eighty fifth over: Australia 308-6 (Smith 68, Cummins 6) Cummins edges Deep broad of third slip for 4. He was apprehensive for a split-second and and snapped his head spherical to observe the ball, but it surely bounced effectively brief.

Deep will get a transfer on to make sure there will likely be time for yet one more over.

Share

84th over: Australia 303-6 (Smith 68, Cummins 1) Bumrah swings one again into Cummins and goes up for LBW. Too excessive, possibly leg facet as effectively. Cummins takes a few leg-byes later within the over earlier than pushing a single to get off the mark. That must be Bumrah’s final over of the day; in that case he’ll finish with barely uncommon figures of 20-7-72-3.

Share

83rd over: Australia 300-6 (Smith 68, Cummins 0) A leg-bye brings up Australia’s 300. They’re nonetheless forward within the sport however India have executed effectively to peg them again from 237 for two. Deep ends a wonderful over with supply that Smith edges onto his internal thigh. He felt that.

WICKET! Australia 299-6 (Carey c Pant b Deep 31)

Good lord, that’s unplayable! Akash Deep, given the brand new ball forward of Siraj, begins with a monstrous seaming lifter that Carey tickles by means of to Pant. It’s Deep’s first wicket of the innings, deserved reward for some terrific bowling. He’s arguably been India’s greatest bowler at the moment, though Bumrah has three-for.

Up to date at 

82nd over: Australia 299-5 (Smith 68, Carey 31) Bumrah is taking the second new ball now. Two late wickets would make this a reasonably good day for India. Carey takes his innings in his palms by working down the monitor to chip over the leg facet. The ball teases mid-on earlier than dropping safely for a few runs.

A sq. drive for 2 extra brings up a busy fifty partnership from 76 balls.

Share

81st over: Australia 292-5 (Smith 68, Carey 24) No he’s not; Reddy goes to proceed with the previous ball. I’m undecided what occurred there as a result of Bumrah seemed able to go. There are recommendations it is likely to be due to the sunshine however then Reddy is a seam bowler and I don’t suppose the umpires can distinguish between fast-medium and medium.

Anyway, Reddy bowls one other uneventful over that yields only a single for Carey.

“A a lot earlier OBO submit enthused about how younger Konstas’ knock could be a thrill for the large Greek neighborhood right here, particularly in my previous hometown of Melbourne,” writes Gervase Greene. “It jogged my memory how exceptional it’s that such an enormous diaspora right here, ridiculously plentiful with gifted soccer and soccer stars, has someway missed the highest cricket tier. For instance, even the brilliantly intimidating Marcus Stoinis, I’m pretty certain, has by no means performed an precise Check match. Go determine.”

Whereas I’m all for variety and brilliantly intimidating cricketers, Stoinis isn’t a Check participant, is he?

eightieth over: Australia 291-5 (Smith 68, Carey 23) A maiden from Washington ends act one among this Check match. The second new ball is on the market and Jasprit Bumrah, again on the sector, goes to take it.

79th over: Australia 291-5 (Smith 68, Carey 23) We gained’t get the complete 90 overs in at the moment, in all probability extra like 84 or 85. Jasprit Bumrah remains to be off the sector however you’d think about Deep and Siraj will take the brand new ball in his absence.

Reddy has an LBW shout in opposition to Carey turned down. It was a pleasant supply that jagged again off the seam however Carey received a thick inside edge onto the pad.

Share

78th over: Australia 288-5 (Smith 66, Carey 22) Smith has slowed down barely since pulling Siraj for six, although it’s unlikely to have an effect on his focus. It seems like he’s taking a little bit of downtime forward of the second new ball, which will likely be accessible in two overs’ time.

Share

77th over: Australia 286-5 (Smith 65, Carey 21) Nitish Kumar Reddy, who has bowled solely two overs at the moment, nearly strikes with the primary ball of a brand new spell when Smith performs a lazy shot that bounces simply over the stumps. That was actually shut.

Share

76th over: Australia 282-5 (Smith 63, Carey 19) Washington has been tidy with out actually threatening. The wicket of Labuschagne got here from an unforced error. However he’s no less than holding up an finish to get India by means of to the second new ball.

“I’m going to assert offering Geoff with that Mr Smith Goes to Washington line a number of years in the past,” writes Ray Murphy. “He even replied on the time giving an ‘elephant stamp’ for creativity.”

Time for drinks.

74th over: Australia 276-5 (Smith 62, Carey 15) Carey jumps throughout Washington Sundar, slog-sweeping handsomely over broad mid-on for six extra. He has quietly had a terrific 12 months with the bat, averaging simply shy of 40.

“Packing up the home for a transfer to the UK,” writes Don. “Not a single field was crammed throughout Konstas’s fab knock. Since then we’ve executed ten. I ponder how the cloning boffins at CA are going? A few Heads, a few Konstases and a handful of Cumminses ought to nearly do it! That’s an Ashes sequence I’d like to observe.”

Particularly if England had a load of Brooks, Roots and Woods.

73rd over: Australia 269-5 (Smith 62, Carey 8) Siraj replaces Bumrah, who took care of enterprise in a brief spell of 3-0-14-2. He’ll be again with the second new ball you’d think about. Smith punches a pleasant drive for 3; the lack of these three wickets has not modified his batting one iota. To show the purpose, he pulls the final ball of the over mightily over sq. leg for six. That is the very best I’ve seen him bat in a very long time.

A few you’ve talked about the Mr Smith/Washington line a number of overs in the past. I can’t take credit score for that; Geoff (I believe) referenced it through the 2020-21 sequence and it’s been burned within the reminiscence ever since. Steal from the very best and all that.

A poor over by Bumrah’s requirements ends with a large supply that Carey cuts for 2.

seventieth over: Australia 248-5 (Smith 48, Carey 1) Carey pushes Washington for a single to get off the mark. I’m stunned Rohit hasn’t gone in for the kill and introduced Siraj again at this finish. I do know the second new ball is due after 80 overs but when mandatory you would go away it till the morning; that is the time to strike.

WICKET! Australia 246-5 (Marsh c Pant b Bumrah 4)

Smith is squared up by Bumrah and will get a vanguard into the off facet for a single. Once more, India gained’t thoughts that because it offers Bumrah the prospect of 5 deliveries at Marsh.

That’s all he wants. Marsh drives properly for 4, is hit on the glove by a nasty lifter after which top-edges a lusty pull by means of to Rishabh Pant. He’s normally so good on the pull however that zipped off the pitch and was on him too rapidly. I’m undecided it was brief sufficient for the shot both.

Bumrah returns within the hope of getting Travis Head early. Smith drives his first ball for 3, the third run coming after a misfield from Siraj. I ponder if that was consider to get Head on strike.

If it was, Siraj is a twisted genius as a result of Head has gone for a duck! He shouldered arms to an immaculate supply from around the wicket that got here again simply sufficient to trim the off bail. Now then.

It straightened a contact as effectively, which could even have saved Labuschagne. This has been a formidable old-ball spell from Deep, one which deserves higher than figures of 6-1-26-0.

sixty fourth over: Australia 233-2 (Labuschagne 69, Smith 41) Mr Smith goes after Washington, charging down the pitch to blast a straight drive for 4. That is trying very ominous for India, not simply on this sport but additionally forward of the Sydney Check. Khawaja, Labuschagne and Smith are all in a much better place than they have been at first of the sequence.

63rd over: Australia 226-2 (Labuschagne 67, Smith 36) Labuschagne and Smith are essentially the most prolific third-wicket partnership in Australian Check historical past, with round 2350 runs at a median of 60. It’s been some time since their final century stand, although, which was at Lord’s in 2023.

They might rectify that within the subsequent hour. Smith mistimes a pull over midwicket for 3 to take the partnership to 72.

“Is there any shade on the bottom?” says Adam Humphries. “If there may be, I’d be parking Bumrah in it and bringing him on late within the day. Appears to be the Aussies’ day, however the guests would possibly get a bit fortunate because the end of play approaches with a rested strike bowler.”

It should be so troublesome to withstand the temptation to bowl him, particularly once you’re in as a lot hassle as India are right here. I agree, although; I’d be inclined to let him relaxation till both the second new ball is on the market or Travis Head arrives on the crease.

It was supply which straightened off the seam to hit Smith on the again leg, but it surely seemed fairly excessive and there’s no likelihood Rohit Sharma can danger his final overview on that. Replays verify it was bouncing over and was in all probability taking place leg.

A maiden from Deep, maybe his greatest over thus far, features a magnificence that beats Smith outdoors off.

59th over: Australia 217-2 (Labuschagne 64, Smith 30) Deep beats Labuschagne with a intelligent broad outswinger. Given Labuschagne’s latest struggles, it’s odd that India haven’t tempted himwith extra deliveries like that.

Runs proceed to move, with 40 in six overs since tea. Labuschagne pulls for 3, Smith fences by means of the slips for 3 extra after which a Bumrah misfield offers Labuschagne a second run.

“Hey Rob, multicultural crowd of over 80,000,” says Ray Murphy. “Is there a greater Leviathan-sized floor on the earth to observe cricket?”

A cracking piece right here from Jack Snape on a debut innings like no different.

Greater than something, Konstas had belied expectation. On debut, in opposition to Bumrah, within the first session on Boxing Day, it must be not be doable to play the best way Konstas did. He charged down the pitch to Siraj in need of a size, minimize a center stump-bound yorker for 4, and produced extra ramps than Arisa Trew’s yard.

Labuschagne is overwhelmed by supply that zips throughout him from around the wicket, then strides ahead to drive classily to the long-off boundary.

That’s the tip of session for Australia, who consolidated the work of Sam Konstas by scoring 64 runs in 28 overs for the lack of Usman Khawaja. India’s tiring bowlers are dealing with the prospect of a Headache within the night session.

51st over: Australia 168-2 (Labuschagne 39, Smith 7) Labuschagne and Smith are taking no dangers in opposition to Bumrah, not like Sam Konstas earlier within the day. I’m cautious of recency bias however all however we’ll certainly mirror on that as some of the audacious debut innings ever performed.

forty seventh over: Australia 155-2 (Labuschagne 34, Smith 0) Bumrah tries an elaborate off-break that’s defended by Labuschagne, then walks again to his mark smiling at something and every little thing. Geniuses are not often as happy-go-lucky as Bumrah. One other maiden ends with Labuschagne edging one in need of slip.

Labuschagne has slowed down as his innings has progressed: 21 from the primary 43 balls, 13 from the subsequent 47.

forty fifth over: Australia 154-2 (Labuschagne 33, Smith 0) That’s such a bonus for India, particularly as Bumrah is at first of his spell and will do some game-changing harm. The brand new batter Steve Smith nicks his fourth ball on the bounce to second slip, a beautiful supply that squared him up. A wicket maiden.

“T20 has ruined Check cricket,” writes Simon T. “Ought to’ve seen off the brand new ball with stable defensives or (ideally) studious leaves. Good luck to the younger fella however I’ve hardly settled in to my salmon sarnies & Chardonnay…”

WICKET! Australia 154-2 (Khawaja c Rahul b Bumrah 57)

Jasprit Bumrah strikes with the primary ball of a brand new spell! It was a rancid supply, brief on leg stump, however Khawaja was by means of his pull shot too early and toe-ended it in sluggish movement to midwicket. Bumrah places his palms over his face in mock-embarrassment. All these snorters he bowled this morning and he will get a wicket with that.
