He has attacked the bowlers, not allowing them to settle down with their lines and lengths at all. A knock of 55 at a SR of 80+ in these conditions will always put pressure on the bowling side!81Rohit Sharma has played an excellent knock here!

But nightwatchman Ravichandran Ashwin paired up well with Rohit to end the day at 77/1, trailing by 100 runs.Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja share eight wickets to bowl out Australia for 177Ravindra Jadeja picked up a five-wicket haul on his return to international cricket after a long injury gap that restricted Australia to a low total after Pat Cummins decided to bat first.Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami dismissed both openers before Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith added 74 runs as the Aussies went to Lunch at 76/2.However, India fought back after the break. Jadeja was the first to strike, dismissing Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw off consecutive deliveries. He returned a couple of overs later to dismiss Steve Smith, who looked dangerous.Ravichandran Ashwin joined the party late but scalped three quick wickets, while Jadeja picked up his fifth to bowl out the Aussies for a mere 177.Also Read: Ravichandran Ashwin becomes the fastest Indian to pick up 450 Test wickets
