Right-hand batters Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne's solid partnership put Australia in firm control over India at the end of Day 1 in the second Test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday. At stumps on Day 1, Australia are 86/1 with Nathan McSweeney (38*) and Marnus Labuschagne (20*) unbeaten on the crease.
The third and final session of the first day in the pink-ball Test started with Australian openers Usman Khawaja and McSweeney started the proceedings for the hosts. Both batters put on a partnership of 24 runs before Khawaja was sent back to the pavilion on the bowling of right-arm seamer Jasprit Bumrah in the 11th over of the inning. The left-hand batter went back to the dressing room after scoring 13 runs in 35 balls which came with the help of two fours in his innings. Following Khawaja's dismissal, right-hand batter Marnus Labuschagne came out in the middle to bat along with McSweeney. The hosts completed the 50-run mark in the 21st over as the opener slammed a boundary on the bowling of right-arm seamer Mohammed Siraj. McSweeney and Labuschagne completed their 50-run partnership in the 26th over as Sweeney smashed a boundary on the bowling of right-arm pacer Harshit Rana. At the end of play on Day 1, both batters have built an unbeaten partnership of 62 runs off 133 balls.
