Murphy to Rahul, OUT

Taken, Murphy has his first! Australia strike late in the day. Tossed up from round the wicket, this grips, Rahul looking to flick through the on side and offers a return catch to Murphy's right. What a moment for him. And how Australia needed it

And that's stumps on the opening day of this series. That late loss of KL Rahul was a blow for India, but it could hardly have gone much better for them. Ravindra Jadeja made a superb comeback to Test cricket and then the captain, Rohit Sharma, led the way with the ball. Australia have much to ponder. After all the pre-series talk a number of old concerns have raised their head already. However, it's only day one of a four-match series. They are quite capable of fighting back, although will need to do it quick-sharp in this game.

Day 1: Stumps - India trail by 100 runs

Jadeja: Very happy with the way I was bowling. I was enjoying my bowling. Playing after 5 months, playing Test cricket, it's tough. I was prepared for it and I was working hard on my fitness as well as on my skills at NCA. I played a first-class game (Ranji) after a long time and I bowled almost 42 overs. It gave me a lot of confidence to come here and play a Test match. There was no bounce on the wicket, I was targeting the stump-to-stump line. The odd ball was spinning and the odd ball was going straight. Being a left-arm spinner, if you get batsmen out caught behind or stumped, you always give credit to the ball. In Test match cricket, whatever wicket you take, you are happy with that. I was working hard on my bowling when I was in Bangalore at the NCA. I was bowling 10-12 hours everyday and that helped me a lot. I was working on my rhythm because I knew that I have to play Test match and I have to bowl long spells.
