Having got a golden opportunity to make a comeback in to the Indian team Tamil Nadu skipper Abhinav Mukund has squandered that chance. A full delivery from Mitchell Starc was just a tad too much for Mukund and he departs LBW for a eight-ball duck.

A session dominated by the Aussies where they kept bowling probing lengths throughout the first session. Starc started off really well as he sent back Mukund in his very second over by bowling a low full toss. Rahul and Pujara stuck in the middle and kept ticking where the former did bulk of the scoring. Just when it was looking like that the Indians would bounce back in it with a stable partnership, Lyon struck just in time before lunch to send Pujara back in the pavilion. At lunch break Australia is dominating and India is hanging on at 72/2.
