12.55 pm: James Pattinson to Sehwag, out Bowled!! Chopped on again. Short of length and jagging in a touch. Sehwag blocks and the ball bounces behind. Sehwag had a lot of time to push it away with his foot but he does not spot it. He did turn behind but only to see the ball dislodge the bail. Sehwag b James Pattinson 2(11) Live Commentary
Cheteshwar Pujara, right handed bat, comes to the crease
12.35 pm: James Pattinson to Vijay, out Bowled!! No footwork from Vijay and he pays the price. It was nicely pitched up by James Pattinson, Vijay tried to drive it through cover with a big gap between bat and pad. He only gets an inside edge and the ball crashes into the stumps. No home ground heroics for Vijay. The umpire did check if it was a no ball but James Pattinson had landes just about enough of his foot behind the line before sliding forward. Great start for Australia and India's opening woes continue. Vijay b James Pattinson 10(15) [4s-2]? Scorecard
12.25 am: M Vijay and Sehwag open for India. Mitchell Starc is leading the Aussie attack.
12.20 pm: Excitement all around as the openers walk out to bat. Sehwag strides out, with spectacles, eliciting a few gasps.
11.50 am: It's been a slightly frustrating session for the Indians. Clarke and Siddle batted well and ensured that the Aussies added valuable runs without any hiccups. Jadeja and Harbhajan bowled well in tandem after the drinks breakand created some pressure by making it hard for the batsmen to score. Clarke fell miscuing a big hit off Jadeja. Pattinson frustrated the Indians by hanging in for sometime. Ashwin however got the wicket and ended up with career best figures of 7 for 103. Aussies have folded their first innings at 380. Join us at 12:25 local time for the post lunch session.

11.45 am: Ashwin to Lyon, out Caught by Virat Kohli!! Excellent catch by Kohli to finish things off. Lyon went for the sweep yet again, he has tried it a number of times today but haven't been successful even once, gets some glove on it as the ball turns in, Kohli at leg slip flies to his right and grabs it nicely. That's the end of the Aussie innings and it's lunch on Day 2. Lyon c Virat Kohli b Ashwin 3(28)?
An exciting day ahead of us. Will Clarke take Australia past 400? Will the tailenders stick around? Can Ashwin and Co. wrap it up quickly and set the stage for the likes of Sehwag and Tendulkar? We'll find out shortly. ? 5 ugliest India-Australia cricket moments
The Indian team is seen in a huddle. Clarke is having a close look at the pitch and is busy doing shadow batting. Ashwin will start the proceedings. Here we go.
Hero of Day 1: Ravichandran Ashwin. "I have played so many ODIs and IPL games here, but nothing can replace a Test match. I wanted to just come out and do well. I've played here for 6-7 years and I know how the wicket works. It has changed slightly over the last couple of years. Honestly, I feel it was better to bowl first on this wicket. It might get better today and tomorrow for the batsmen. And again, it might get difficult to bat later on. My job was to draw the batsmen forward and make them play and I did that well. It would have been good to get Clarke out yesterday, but we hope to wrap up their innings quickly today." 5 most famous India wins over Australia

Highlights: DAY 1?
4.40pm: Day 1 of India-Australia test match comes to an end with the visitors putting up 316/7 on the scoreboard. The day saw Michael Clarke and R Ashwin display fantastic skills on the field in the batting and the bowling departments respectively.
4.37pm: Ravindra Jadeja to Michael Clarke, no run. Clarke lunges out to defend and jams it between his pad. There was an appeal but not convincing enough. That will be stumps on day one.
4.30 pm: Ravindra Jadeja to Michael Clarke, Four! Michael Clarke gets to a superb 100 by dancing down the track and lofting a full delivery to the long off fence. It is his 23rd Test hundred, it is his 3rd in India.
4.27 pm: Ravindra Jadeja to Starc, Bowled!! Starc had no clue about this one. There was not much turn but Starc plays inside the line of a tossed up delivery and misses. The ball crashes into middle and off. Finally a bowler apart from Ashwin gets something in the wickets column.
4.15 pm: Ashwin to Henriques, out Lbw!! Hitting Henriques' back leg and Ashwin provides the much needed breakthrough. He gets his 6th wicket too. A flighted delivery turning in from outside off, Henriques lunges out to play a hard sweep but misses. The ball strikes the back thigh in front of off stump and Marais Erasmus thinks for a bit before raising his finger. End of an excellent knock on debut from Henriques. Henriques lbw b Ashwin 68(132) [4s-5] Live Score
3.15 pm: Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma brought into the attack as Clarke and Henriques dig in their heels. Australia are currently at 266/5.
2.15 pm: Ashwin was the star for India in the session once again but Australia have managed to hang in thanks to the vital 62 run stand between Clarke and Henriques. The former, though lucky to still be batting, has batted well and will be the key to Australia's fortunes. There is a lot on offer for the spinners on the pitch and it is bound to be a very interesting contest. Join us for the last session in just a short while. Live Commentary
12.45 pm: Ashwin to Wade, out Lbw!! Five for the home boy. It's his 6th five-fer in Tests. Wade is disappointed. It was nicely tossed up from round the wicket, it pitches on middle, turns a shade and strikes Wade in front of middle and leg. Wade did have a good stride forward but Dharmasena decides to go with the bowler after a long thought. Wade lbw b Ashwin 12(35) [4s-1]?
12.28 pm: Ashwin to David Warner, out Lbw!! What a game Ashwin is having already. This looked plumb too. It was pushed through quick and sliding on straight from round the wicket. Warner was caught in the crease again and pays the price for it. The ball skids through and strikes Warner low on the front pad in front of middle stump. Ashwin has picked 4/31 so far and has put India firmly on top. Warner lbw b Ashwin 59(93) [4s-6]?
12.15 pm: Ashwin to Shane Watson, out Lbw!! Watson looks disappointed but it was plumb otherwise. No bat on that show the replays. This one slid on low and hit Watson on the front pad and in line with the off stump. Definitely going on to hit middle and off too. Ashwin is elated and rightly so. He's having a good first Test at his home ground. It's just the start India needed after lunch. Shane Watson lbw b Ashwin 28(60) [4s-3] .?
Leg Spinner R Ashwin has had a brilliant day with 5 Aussi scalps
?11.45 am: The Aussies should be pretty happy with the position they are in. The openers came out and showed no signs of nervousness. They were confident and went hard at every bad delivery. Ashwin's entry provided lethal break-throughs. Warner, who was a little edgy to start with, capitalised on the life Sehwag provided by dropping him at first slip. He reached his 6th Test fifty and motored along with Watson who looked very solid at the other end. The wicket is offering turn and bounce. It will be interesting to see how it behaves as the day progresses. The match will resume at 12.10 pm.?
10.40 am: Wicket No. 2 for Ashwin, and it's more to do with the batsman's error and the pitch this time around. The ball turned across and stayed low, Hughes was looking to crack that through the off-side, stretched and played away from the body with minimum feet movement, gets a thick inside edge, the ball pitches and goes back to hit the leg stump. This is a Day 1 wicket, imagine how tough it will be for the batsmen as the game progresses.?
10.15 am: Ashwin claims Ed Cowan scalp. Excellent bowling and superb wicket keeping by MS Dhoni gives India a much needed break-through. Ashwin deceived the batsman in the air, he stepped down again looking to go big, the ball turned across sharply and there was some extra bounce too, Dhoni was ready for it this time around, shows quick reflexes and whips the bails in a flash to send the danger man Cowan back to the hut. Ed Cowan st Dhoni b Ashwin 29(45) [4s-4 6s-1]?
9.35 am: Ed Cowan and David Warner are the openers for Australia. Kumar Dharmasena and Marais Erasmus are the umpires for today's game. Bhuvneshwar Kumar opened India's attack.
9.00 am: The first Test match between India and Australia saw the visiting side winning the toss and electing to bat.
Clarke: "We're definitely going to bat first. The wicket looks extremely dry. I don't think we can prepare a practice wicket this dry. The conditions are very different from what we come across in Australia. We have a young team and that's the challenge. I hope we can put on a good performance with the bat. The people in Chennai have looked after us like gold, we've had great practice wickets here. As announced earlier, we are just going with one spinner in Lyon and three pacers."?
Dhoni: "We would have batted as well. If it turns from Day 1, toss will not have much of an impact but it would have been good to bat first. The preparation has been good. We had a couple of days of practice in Bangalore and here in Chennai. We got the center wicket practice which we love a lot. We have put in a lot of effort and hope it shows. We have a good mixture of youngsters and experienced players. Shikhar Dhawan, Dinda, Ojha and Rahane are not playing today."
