Despite India's efforts, the visitors found themselves bowled out for 310 runs at stumps, with India at 164 for 5.
India's reply saw the early points fall, with Rohit Sharma AND KL Rahul fighting. However, young Yashasvi Jaiswalwith a brilliant 82 and Kohli, on 36, put up a brief fight. However, their efforts were thwarted as Australia's late surge, led by Scott Boland, proved too much. Jaiswal's unfortunate dismissal and Kohli's dismissal in quick succession left India with a tough climb ahead.
The fight against Kohli and Jaiswal was called off
The Indian pair of Jaiswal and Kohli had started building a promising partnership as India lost early wickets. Jaiswal's attacking approach, especially against the short ball, gave India little time. His six outside off Mitchell Marsh it was a climactic moment before he was run out in a dramatic moment when a sharp throw from Pat Cummins took him out of the crease.
Kohli, determined to silence critics and regain his form, looked solid during his stay. His clean cover and powerful movements from Starc raised hope, but he fell to Boland's immaculate line and length, leaving India in a precarious position.
