In latest developments, covers have been brought in place as drizzle has decided to interrupt the momentum in the on-going second Test match between India versus Australia. It is expected that the drizzle could turn in to slight rain owing to which the ground staff have brought on the covers as a precaution.

Rain in Adelaide!

Latest Update by Crex: The covers are off. There are a few rain drops still at the Adelaide Oval but Mark Nicholas, on air, says we are about to get underway for the second session.


Starc-Boland Silence Indians Before Tea 

India's first innings in the pink-ball Test at Adelaide started dramatically after skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat. The visitors were quickly reduced to 82/4 after 23 overs of intense cricket. 

Mitchell Starc got an early breakthrough by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal off the first ball of the match, becoming only the second bowler in history to take a Test wicket with the first ball thrice. Shubman Gill and KL Rahul were steady, adding 69 runs for the second wicket before both were dismissed by Starc and Scott Boland, respectively. 

Starc sent KL Rahul packing for a climbing delivery that Nathan McSweeney caught wonderfully at Gully. Virat Kohli did look quite intent in the early going, but he, too, fell to Starc just before the break. Boland then got Gill lbw in the 22nd over.

India's lower order saw Rohit Sharma come in with Rishabh Pant and the latter managed a solitary boundary. Australian seamers, spearheaded by Starc and Boland, bowled in utter discipline and intensity to reduce India to a precarious position, ending the first session at 82/4.
