As nobody knows anything about this pitch, Tim Paine's comment "expect it will crack up a bit" is optimistic, given that forecast. Pitch is supposedly green, and India will have 4 quicks on high rotation in this heat. Yadav might leak a few runs, but he's got a bit of menace about him with his tail up.

Dumbest comment I have heard so far from Comms team.

"If they make some runs in this first innings they will be right in this test match"

Are you getting the foxtel feed with Warne and co?

[Hooroo]

Looks like Border, Mark Waugh and some lady? (Currently commentating)

[Hooroo]

How long before playing on it do they usually drop in the wicket?

Couple of weeks by the looks?

Do we have the same comms?

@hooroo At work mate so can't hear anything Channel 7 started the day with Tim Lane, Ricky Ponting, and someone else

Fark. 50 run opening stand. Been a while.

[NTA]

Century stand. Broken after Bumrah came back on with a bit of heat and Finch's poor front foot and crossbat swipe let him down

[No Quarter]

Promising start from the Aussies, 300+ puts them ahead of the game.

Waj fucks it

Lol that's some 90s black caps level trauma right there.

'if we bowl them out for less than 250 our batsmen might not fuck it up'.

Fuck that one bounced hard on Harris.

And a couple on a length have kept low.

India can celebrate but Lyons will be licking his lips

Looks like a great stadium...

For football !

Hope they go back to the waca for all but ashes tests. Normal test matches need a grass area. 7 hours in a plastic seat won't work for the kids, or many adults

@nta never seen a pitch play up so much in first 2 sessions

3 day test match me thinks

[Billy Webb]

Kiss-of-death no doubt, but I like Tim Paine.
Comes across as a decent bloke. Not massively talented, but making up for it with honest, hard graft.

[NTA]

@billy-webb my impression too, though he is a pretty good keeper, and can bat.

Stumps sees us 277 with only 6 down. Start again in the morning lads! Well afternoon in these parts... Fucked up by the dance concert I have to attend

[Billy Webb]

277 - 6 at stumps.
Haven't watched a ton of the the game, but it seems a slightly tricky deck, so Aussie probably ok with that score.
But India won't be disappointed either, given that they lost the toss and the Aussies haven't run away with it and they're into the non-specialist batsmen.

Interestingly poised so far.
