The way things are going, this Test isn't going to last very long. You don't want to miss any of it. See you tomorrow for more. Until then, it's goodbye!
There have been only 94 days of play where the ball seamed on average more than the 0.793 degrees on view today for the seamers, but only one of those days had a lower batting average than 10.64 by both India & Australia combined (181 runs for 17 wickets) - the second day of Brisbane Test bw Australia & South Africa in 2022 which saw an average deviation of 0.810 degrees and batters averaged 9.16 (18 wickets for 165 runs). Conditions have been difficult to bat, but batting has been poor.
17:54 Local Time, 09:54 GMT, 15:24 IST: Record breaking first day here in Perth. As many as 17 wickets fell, which is the most number of wickets on the first day in Australia since 1952.
