00:00so first blood there for Australia was good probing over wasn't only one delivery down the
00:08leg side the rest for a nice length at the stumps made the batsman play and has energy on the ball
00:13too and not every ball swung about two or three swung away a couple just sort of nipped back so
00:18that makes it difficult for the batsman there's Bajara's record averaging nearly 50 he's a real
00:23rock of the team he bats time as you say warning he's got a lot of patience that's his strengths
00:28he's at the non-striker's end stark as well first up and just like marco said he might
00:36just play at one because he's seen
00:37it's another good delivery just coming back nicely so close so close that's it and call
00:55there from the captain Tim Payne so close so three overs gone another inside edge wasn't it
01:02you don't mind getting driven for four early on with a new ball
01:08yeah I just wondered if that's for the flick off the toes
01:15yeah I just wondered if that's for the flick off the toes
01:19five overs completed continue and the Aussies have got their tails up no
01:34no I want to see merely vj because I love a romantic story
01:41I want to see merely vj because I love a romantic story
01:47and uh his his journey has been outstanding
02:08in Pajara in first session
02:15expansive off the back foot one of the better shots we've seen this morning probably the best
02:22from Pajara and he finds the rope
02:25the Australians won't be unhappy with that it's a good shot it's four but Pajara often stays inside the ball
02:32it's a big area for him through gully and through point but at three for 20 odd they're not unhappy he's playing this shot
02:39if you look at his back foot it stays a long middle and leg and it's away from his body it's four runs
02:46but the Australian quicks are not concerned that he gets a boundary through that area
02:51yeah that's his favorite way of playing nice to open up that offside he likes to work it from straight through mid wicket but if he's looking for anything he's looking for that cut shot
03:00oh gee that one comes back off the pitch
03:12go

03:52go
03:53you
03:54go
03:55go
03:58Pat Cummins it's the ball of the bat is flirted with the shot leg fielder a fair bit
04:06it's fine lines trying to do a good job
04:15go yes mixing his pace up well that's another slower one
04:19this is the contest right now which is that helps the spinner just as much as the turn
04:30but he found a way
04:38i think you'll find another stat
04:43okay
04:43it's three for 38 roger
04:57there's another mission lines a perfectly good name you got him gary
05:01was a very good afl football all going to plan
05:05but the other thing that australia's done well which has really stood out to me for australia
05:15oh
05:33give it away
05:34sharp there in the short leg from Harris
05:40you heard it from Tim Payne beautifully bowled good over 449
05:52all stars different pitching club it's worth trying at this stage last ball for
06:15lunch and it's discipline all around good bowling good batting to finish out
06:21from Pajara but no doubt about it on day one this big much anticipated test series
06:28it's first blood to the Australians certainly has Australia's bowed
06:33beautifully yeah they've got to be careful the other side we've done all
06:37the hard work chase me outside off
06:44tennis courts out the back I was so nice for you boys just the joy just the joy
06:50by pitching one up I think got him LBW it's quality bowling and a great set up
06:58getting him back there would have been a lot of questions is this hard work
07:02I mean when you fall on a hundred I mean there's a drop in pitch in Adelaide
07:11it's just put plugged in short and scoot through to the boundary so he gets an
07:28opportunity to loosen up the arms and he takes it yeah loose delivery by Mitchell
07:33Stark you have to think that the Indians in the the dress room that I've got the
07:37pads off I've been ruined that first session the four dismissals with the
07:41fact that since length of balls not swung it now looks a gorgeous wicket to have a
07:46baton it's very even pace once that ball gets soft it's a different ball game no
07:53swing as you said morning so good batting conditions if you're willing to hang in
07:58there but he's discipline if if I was 12 or 70 balls I would have hit was in the air for a
08:19little while that man there leg gully in the air before 77 straight line oh I
08:32should have caught it oh I just think that's need side edge watch and push
08:37through your toes to go forward oh it's a game as well
08:41go fine there back at least two to straight
08:53Oh, that's it!
09:02Cut!
09:05Go!
09:07Yeah, keep it in there.
09:09Footwork again.
09:12Oh, yeah, like that.
09:16Oh, yeah, it's nice.
09:19Oh, nice!
09:23Oh!
09:29That's a nice shot.
09:31Too short there, Nathan Lyon, and Pajara quick enough to latch onto it.
09:37It's a good shot, fractionally short.
09:40Pajara went back in the crease this time, good footwork.
09:45Punched it through the offside.
09:48This wrong foots Mitchell Stark could cover.
09:50Stark going, there you go, he went to his left, he's expecting the ball to get it a little bit squarer.
09:56Good shot by Pajara.
10:00Catch!
10:02Catch, it's the call, but nothing on it, so completes another probing over from Nathan Lyon.
10:06India 5 for 92.
10:12Yes, Pete.
10:14You can be absolutely certain off.
10:16Oh!
10:18Talk about Pajara being a nice, reliable car, Marsha.
10:20Just an A-to-B sort of car, 23 off, 97 deliveries.
10:26Good!
10:29Turn out like he can't be given there.
10:31Catch, Pajara!
10:33Now that's got straight into short leg as well.
10:36Go, yes, catch him.
10:39Catch it!
10:41He's taken the single that Kerry wanted, but he's done it at the last ball of the O.
10:45It's 109 for five.
10:50He will take the single, he might come back for two actually, so he'll send strike.
10:54No, they won't.
10:56Violet each other.
10:57Yeah!
10:59But I'm being a single.
11:01Boy, hey!
11:05That's nicely guided by Pajara when you think about how heavy populated that leg side field is and the enclosed field is.
11:16So she still needs to have had a nice battle against each other over the years.
11:20Seven times as Nathan Lyon got Pajara out.
11:23Something that England didn't do too well.
11:26Oh, beautiful!
11:27Something that England didn't do too well.
11:28There's batting rickets on the road.
11:30Here's Penny!
11:34Penny, Penny!
11:36Well, it was a poor shot selection from Roachama, especially after that ball before.
11:43He was probably looking to back.
11:47Balling nicely!
11:48Balling!
11:50There is Ali.
11:51Speed injury.
11:56Speed injury.
11:59Edged!
12:01Drops short.
12:03Hazelwood has been in that area of uncertainty all day.
12:11But it's nice soft hands that he had.
12:12Jara completely different at the other end.
12:14He's 35.
12:18It's up around 40 degrees and that's...
12:21Go!
12:22And you can understand that from the umpire.
12:23Sometimes as a bowler you're concentrating on what you're doing and then the little thing...
12:26Three slips a gully and a point.
12:27It's a Billy Bowden.
12:30I think he had a shocker that week.
12:33...Hazelwood.
12:35Go!
12:37It's angled back.
12:38Go! Go!
12:39Go!
12:40Go!
12:41Go!
12:43Go!
12:45Gets underneath the short one to finish the over.
12:47It's a maiden.
12:49India, after winning the toss, a six for 129 after 51 overs.
12:52Fajari uses his feet but the Aussies...
12:57From Nathan Lyon.
12:58No, no, no!
12:59I think it creates something, something...
13:01And when Lyon bowls the right line, which is just outside that off stump,
13:06there's a lot more to it than that.
13:09Um, and that can go into, um, your mind about when...
13:14It was going a certain way.
13:16That's on its way to the boundary.
13:18And it's a rare loose delivery from Josh Hazelwood.
13:22And Pajara, a little up and under.
13:25It's another boundary.
13:26His fourth.
13:33Well, this is a big partnership, this one, isn't it?
13:35This is the last...
13:36Ashton we know can play.
13:37He's got 400s.
13:38The rest of the bowlers can obviously bat a bit, but...
13:419, 10, 11 are the quickies to come.
13:45I'm just saying...
13:46Sometimes you're out in the middle, and you think something's happening,
13:49and you can see something, and it was only later when you watch a replay,
13:52you think, no, it wasn't what I was thinking.
13:55Not much easier view, and...
13:57Cole Cutton Hazelwood to Pajara.
13:59Now it's Finch.
14:00Looks like he's moved into that close...
14:02...in the hat.
14:03Didn't mean we didn't like what it stood for.
14:05And he...
14:07Oh!
14:08Oh!
14:09Block him.
14:10Oh!
14:11Slog him.
14:12Didn't matter.
14:13Oh!
14:14Catch!
14:15Pajara uses his feet.
14:16He's made a couple of opportunities short there on the leg side.
14:22Bowling!
14:23Bowling!
14:24Bowls!
14:25Bowls!
14:26Bowls!
14:28Oh, yeah!
14:30Wide of the crease this time.
14:32It's a good shot from Pajara.
14:34Takes on the cover drive.
14:35It's a quickish outfield.
14:36Get back for three.
14:38As we start session three.
14:42Fielded by.
14:43Flip.
14:44They had a lot to Mitchell Stark.
14:45Short leg.
14:46Bowls!
14:47Bowls!
14:48Filleded by.
14:49Flip.
14:50squint
14:56No!
14:57No!
14:58No!
14:59No!
15:00No!
15:09No!
15:10No!
15:11No No!
15:12Short leg.
15:13the offside.
15:19I think you'd be annoyed at it.
15:26Really well timed that from Pajara.
15:31Gee, the running between the wickets sometimes.
15:35It's whipped away.
15:36So that's the 50 for Pajara.
15:39And it's a well executed 50, it's his seventh against Australia.
15:4320th for his career.
15:46It's taken him four hours, but India needed it.
15:49Well, it's been a really good not because he's played with great
15:52discipline, left the ball well, waited for the ball into his arc.
15:56He likes playing on the onside.
15:57He likes playing the cut shot.
15:58We've seen a few of those and a really good innings for his team.
16:02While there's been a little bit of flamboyancy at the other end,
16:05he's just said, no, I'm going to play the test match way.
16:08Let the ball go through the keeper and wait for the ball to hit.
16:11Yeah, you've got to admire his perseverance and his mental
16:13toughness really just to, it's very hot out there just to.
16:18Oh, yeah.
16:23No backward point, just a fraction short from Nathan Lyon.
16:29Got a really packed leg side field, Nathan, reassurance.
16:33Catch.
16:34I think it's very much a modern thing to do to hit the boundary.
16:38Catch it, Petey.
16:38Yep.
16:39I don't.
16:41Come on.
16:43Runs.
16:44Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.
16:45Going in the deep behind square.
16:48No, you're right, B.J. I think what Lyon's saying is, I want to
16:50protect the boundary for one, but also if he wants to try and push a
16:53single down the ground to.
16:59Oh, yes, guys.
17:0060 over, 6-1, 52.
17:04Oh, bounce.
17:07Ella.
17:08I'm in a test match, they've lost the toss.
17:11The perfect start for Australia.
17:13Does not get any better.
17:15I mean, Mitchell Stark could be thinking at the moment, if I do
17:18this well, it would be just my last spell.
17:21Could be.
17:24Get away and say it's half a shot.
17:26Yes, Gary.
17:27Answering the question, Tim Payne.
17:29Yeah.
17:31Shout.
17:35Oh, just wide.
17:40Oh, Usman Khawaja was flying to his left.
17:44It was coldly like for a second.
17:48The pitched up delivery from Mitchell Stark outside the off stump.
17:56Surely he couldn't have taken two screamers in one day for a moment.
18:00Just a moment.
18:01I thought he might have.
18:03What a good time jump.
18:04Just out of reach of the left hand of Usman Khawaja.
18:10Oh, he could have got a finger on it.
18:23He's got his watch on.
18:26He's got his watch on.
18:30He might have just held it down a little bit.
18:33Oh, heady, heady.
18:36Is that a few mix-ups between the wickets?
18:39It's a bit lazy.
18:42Well, that completes over from Cummins.
18:46Three runs off it.
18:47Six for 165.
18:49That low.
18:50Go!
18:52A knee-high Nicky go over your heady for that low.
18:56Well, they're in the field again.
18:58Well, I say you're rubbish in there.
18:59You say, yeah, I'll try it hard.
19:00Sorry, mate.
19:03There's no way to spot it.
19:05Be aggressive.
19:07He ran down and pop him.
19:10Melbourne Stars, jeez, should've won it.
19:16Two there.
19:17Well placed.
19:18They're not the quickest, these two, but they'll get home.
19:21In day one.
19:23Bowling, Nathan.
19:24So, might not, yeah, just, you know, there's grounds around the world.
19:28You just get to an end, you just feel more comfortable.
19:30Yeah.
19:30So I'm sure it's the same as a batsman somewhere and you just see the ball better or yeah well
19:37Wow
19:39We had the dancing shoes on
19:41Did the jar and he managed to pierce it through so a chase there now for Cummins
19:47Scurries back for a third. Oh, he just dropped it didn't he Ashwin wasn't quite ready to get up tomorrow
20:00Oh
20:05Attacking the stumps
20:09Oh good wrist work there jar up
20:15Slows up so it'll just be two to close out the 70th over six for 180
20:21It's two different games though. That's a good shot
20:24Ready
20:28And this is in his career didn't he
20:31She had to catch it and it just drops between three press conference, but that's for another day
20:38Evans to pajara
20:40Talking about rail driver. This is a man. That's got a similar temperament
20:45Nicely cut by pajara. There's some coverage out on the deep point rope
20:49I just get a single and in india if you if you make a 300 or a 48
21:01Nicely worked again by pajara
21:04He's been a level above his compatriots today now move to 744
21:10Supply
21:12It's confidently driven. We haven't seen many straight drives at all today
21:21This one to the onside
21:24I can't recall a straight drive down the ground jar
21:29Again down the ground but doesn't really time it
21:31I'm
21:37Defend another delivery two from the over
21:41December 192
21:44Yeah, thanks howie pat cummins has done a terrific job today, but so is pajara too
21:51How did steve come about
21:54Maybe we could call harsher steve
22:01Yeah
22:05Threw it up
22:07Wasn't much of a gap there, but it's timed it pretty well
22:11And he'll tease the boundary
22:13Managed to find the strike again does he only give him shama one ball
22:17It's doing it well this pajara india
22:21In the australians to speech
22:24Oh, so I think that's why it's been hard scoring speed a bit difficult and
22:28I think the australian bowlers are bold quality stuff too. They've bolded nice full length. There's been no real freebie
22:36They want to here
22:39They're just daydreaming a bit there
22:45It's an easy pace too at the moment
22:48His arm strength's fine when he hits them the fastest i've seen him run
22:52Yeah
22:55Hey for nathan light
22:57Oh
23:02Surface
23:04left-handers for ashwin
23:09Aussies to tenders
23:11He's got my rubbish
23:13He's got my rubbish
23:15Wow
23:15Wow
23:16Hattie
23:16For the single
23:19Yeah, it's pretty slick
23:20Well done from peter hansker
23:21Hey, good bait in Hattie
23:25No, no
23:32Just a little bit way with tired bowlers
23:34That's right
23:38Once two
23:41Cummins tidying up we'll get it
23:46Gets it through the offside
23:50And they'll just take the one
23:53One ball
23:54I said the two options didn't I the full it's all out there
23:58There it is and it's through the slips
23:59Oh a third man would have gone straight the third slip so you're stopping maybe a boundary
24:06That's why he wants to single
24:10Yeah, well fielded is that aaron finch down there is wood continuing hard to dislodge
24:16Go on through to the keeper
24:26Is it definitely heard a noise?
24:29What's that noise?
24:30I gave him out
24:32I was with you
24:33I thought they didn't start celebrating any second here
24:38Pulled away
24:40Where is it gone?
24:41Has it gone into the stand?
24:43I think it has
24:44The maximum for pajara
24:48That's frustrating for hazelwood
24:51It's good shot good quick bouncer and he
24:53Sort of just helped it on its way didn't quite get it out the middle I don't think
24:58Very variable runs
25:00On a wicket
25:01Say junior, I don't think it's been free-flowing type of wicket that you become accustomed to here in adelaide, but that's
25:07Uh carried all the way down there for a maximum he goes to 95 of what may have been a little
25:15Little tickle
25:16Previous delivery
25:17If you don't feel properly and ask the question you won't get the answer you want
25:22Oh he goes again
25:23Yep, we'll pick up four for it this time a lot more in control of this one that's for sure and he edges ever closer to that century mark
25:318 for 224
25:33He's gone to 99 all of a sudden he's come out of the bunker with a six and a four
25:42Well played chiteshwar pajara
25:45Comes back for two and that will be his 16th ton third against australia and his first in australia a moment to savour
25:54That's a tremendous inning six hours has been out there pajara
26:01He's held this innings together
26:03Not the prettiest but very very effective and that's his value to the team
26:06He just he's a rock
26:08You know they bat around him without his hundred today. He would be in all sorts of trouble. That's a fantastic innings
26:14Patience 176 dots
26:19Six fours three sixes
26:23One six sorry which just came up in the last over
26:29Grafted incredibly hard when you think about the situation of the game
26:32A lot will be said about the way he played his innings, but importantly he's still there out in the middle
26:39fantastic hundred
26:45He's been good in that area off the back foot generally is
26:51He's just chipped away at that score
26:53Fallen safely around the park back live
27:09Who's the call but I don't think so not the stark
27:14A great catch back live
27:17He looked like in that little package saw one that he thought he could get after
27:20No, no, no, no
27:22Cross and put it for six
27:26Well, that's been punched down the ground
27:29There's a man sort of deep at mid on there basically
27:36Flashed away to the leg side there are two men back there but he manages to bisect the two fielders
27:42Such important runs here. Yes, 111 of them. They're very important, but all the
27:48I guess the bonus ones you feel certainly as a batting team and in the costly ones as a bowling team when you think
27:53You're just going to close out in innings
27:56This little partnership up to 27 already
27:59Well pajaras he's got his last he was 89 then he had six and four to get to his 100 basically
28:05Now he's got another 11 so he's basically got 22 runs in about 10 minutes
28:09Yeah, 12 deliveries for those 22 runs
28:20Off the way what a shot that is
28:22That is a stunning shot
28:25From pajara. This is what we've been missing out in in the IPL ghillie. Yeah
28:28That's right. There's a contract time is there an option coming up soon, but
28:34Another six that's seven today on the day one of a test match
28:39up and under it and it is a
28:41Great time to bat when you you're in your set you're batting with the tail
28:46You know the field's back and heard shane moan mentioned earlier that the bowler still has to
28:50Believe that you're going to bowl to get them out and often as the batsmen you can dine out on width and as
28:57Just a little bit in little discipline in their bowling
29:00He's going hard again. He's trying to cash in
29:0412 runs from that over eight for 243
