Australia were 316 for seven in their first innings against India at stumps on the opening day
of the first cricket Test here today.
It was a day dominated by two individuals — R Ashwin for India and Michael Clarke for Australia. Ashwin’s six wickets gave India a superb start but Australia countered through Clarke and Moises Henriques.
