Players back on the field, Umesh Yadav starts proceedings after Lunch

India could not quite make use of the new ball when it was darting around. They need to revert to the basics - bowling tight lines and lengths to induce false strokes

Fine opening session for Australia. They set the tone in the first hour, going at nearly 4 an over and then have been cautious enough to not throw it away

OVERS 11.1: Finch is hit on the pads by the first ball from Shami, Indians appeal, umpire turns it down, Kohli goes for the review and the replays show the ball was going just over the stumps, so a review lost for India

11 overs gone and Mohammed Shami has been introduced in the attack

OVERS 10.6: Harris edges through the slips and that races to the third man fence

OVERS 10.2: FOUR! Umesh continues, Harris hits straight, through mid-off for his fourth boundary

Eight overs gone and Umesh Yadav has been introduced in the attack

Ishant Sharma is not looking his usual self, his line and length have not been good, has already bowled one no-ball

Australian openers Marcus Harris and Aaron Finch walk out to bat, Ishant Sharma starts the proceedings for India

India have brought in Umesh Yadav and Hanuma Vihari in place of Ashwin and Rohit Sharma.

Australia are unchanged from the last match.

Australian captain Tim Paine won the toss and chose to bat against India in Perth.

India (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul, Murali Vijay, Virat Kohli(c), Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant(w), Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah


Australia (Playing XI): Aaron Finch, Marcus Harris, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Tim Paine(w/c), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood


"Obviously it is very warm today and I said this wicket will crack up under the hot weather," Paine said. "Everyone has recovered really well and we're raring to go."


India captain Virat Kohli said he would have batted as well, with temperatures due to nudge 38 Celsius (100 Fahrenheit).


"But it's not a bad thing to bowl on day one on a wicket which has a lot of grass. We are happy with whatever we are going to do," he said.
