9am Time for toss. Rahane and Smith are out in the middle. Smith calls heads, it falls heads, and Australia will bat first. "There is a bit of a grass, but there are cracks and craters. Could be more bounce than on some of the earlier pitches. That's my reading, but I have been wrong before." Australia are unchanged
Rahane says he would have batted first. "This is a very good track, this will remain good for batting for the first two-three days," Rahane says. "We are playing five bowlers so we need to get two-three early wickets."
Two changes for India: Kuldeep replaces Kohli, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar replaces Ishant Sharma. So it is going to be a big first session. India expecting some seam, and Australia batting first knowing they will have to negotiate that first session

India playing 5 bowlers this is going to be good.

Kumar to Warner, FOUR, dropped by Nair first ball. A poor shot first ball. This ball is swinging from the hand, early swing, and he still pushes at him. Gets a thick edge, to the left of Nair at third slip. He dives, and gets only his thumb on this. Nair up in his stance too early

Warner looks like he means business 2x4's.

U Yadav to Renshaw, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. Excellent ball from Umesh. Interesting to note that Umesh wasn't trying to swing this ball. He opted for the scrambed seam delivery and hoped that the pitch would do its bit and it has worked. Renshaw was playing for a bit of outswing

Renshaw b U Yadav 1(6)
