1st Test, Day 1: India vs Australia in Chennai

R Ashwin was the destructor-in-chief as India pegged Australia back with a flurry of wickets. The Tamil Nadu offie was India's sole wicket-taker grabbing all five to fall in the day even as skipper Michael Clarke and debutant Moises Henriques stood up for the visitors.

  • Ed Cowan and David Warner started off on a bright note as Australia looked to stamp authority early. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar was steady at best, Ishant Sharma struggled a bit up front as Aussie openers raced along. (Photo credit: BCCI)

  • Ashwin was second time unlucky when skipper Dhoni missed Cowan's stumping, albeit a difficult one. The Tamil Nadu offie though was third time lucky as Cowan (29 off 45 balls) danced down only to get stumped. (Photo credit: BCCI)

  • Harbhajan Singh, playing in his 100th Test, was given a memento by BCCI chief N Srinivasan. He could not do much with the ball though and went for close to 4 runs an over throughout the day. (Photo credit: BCCI)

  • Bhuvneshwar, making his India debut, was just about decent without majorly troubling any batsman. He bowled a good line and length but lack of pace was his Achilles heel. (Photo credit: BCCI)
