Australia dominate proceedings on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test

Australia took the upper hand on Day 1 of the Boxing Day Test against India on Thursday. The hosts ended the day in a comfortable position of 311/6, giving the visitors a lot to think about in the days to come. India will be worried by the lack of teeth shown by their bowlers on this eventful day.

Half-centuries from debutant Sam Konstas (60), Usman Khawaja (57), Marnus Labuschagne (72), and Steven Smith (68*) helped the Kangaroos pose such an imposing total.

India, as usual, were served well by their vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah, who picked up three wickets by conceding 75 runs.

Debutant Konstas, however, made the headlines for taking the attack to the Indians in the first session of play. His 60 came off just 65 deliveries and was studded with a lot of unusual strokes: the ramp, scoop and reverse scoop, especially against the highly threatening Bumrah.
