Cricket Australia has confirmed the dreadful news that Pat Cummins' mum Maria died overnight. 😔 Our thoughts are with Australia's Test captain. ❤️ Cricket INDvAUS
The first three matches of this series were done and dusted inside three days, but this looks a bit different, with only four wickets falling on day one.
Australia has the chance to push towards 400 on day two, but as we've seen in India the situation can change in a very short period of time. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke believes first innings runs will be crucial, with the pitch becoming harder to bat on with each passing day."A bit slow, if anything, but I understand why. This pitch will only get worse, and it mightn't spin as big as we've seen in the first three Test matches.
"What you'll see is the ball start to stay a little bit lower, so I think even the quicks will come into play for LBW and bowled as the ball stays low.
