India vs Australia Boxing Day Test 2020 Day 1 Highlights: IND 36/1 at Stumps

STUMPS | End of a fine day for India this. Despite losing Mayank Agarwal early, the visitors finish in a good position. Debutant Shubman Gill has been impressive thus far. Cheteshwar Pujara has looked solid as ever. Earlier, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravi Ashwin made sure Australia are bundled out for under 200 after the hosts opted to bat. That's all from today's play. Do join us tomorrow for day two's action.

Some nerves will be eased in the Indian camp as Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara find some boundaries. Important for India that these two carry their bat through to the end of today's play. Only Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc have been used by Tim Paine thus far.

OUT! Matthew Wade has thrown his wicket away. Just after picking a boundary off Ravi Ashwin, he goes on attacking mode.

M Wade c Jadeja b Ashwin 30(39)

Marnus Labuschagne is the new batsman in for Australia. Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav continue to bowl in tandem as both continue to get some movement off the pitch. India pressing hard for another wicket while Australia making sure it is not the case.

OUT! Early blow this for Australia. Joe Burns is caught behind. 10-ball duck for the right-handed batsman, regulation catch for Rishabh Pant behind the stumps.
