India vs Australia Adelaide Test 2012 Border-Gavaskar Trophy Australia won the toss and reached 3-98 at lunch day 1 as India made a wonderful start in sunny conditions on a pitch that appeared slow-paced.
Australia suffered early shocks when Zaheer Khan trapped David Warner (8) and Shaun Marsh (3) was bowled Out by R Ashwin, the miserable form continues for Marsh. Ricky Ponting and Ed Cowan shared a valuable third wicket stand of 53 runs to revive Aussie innings after early blows. Australia were under pressure at 31/2 at 9.6 overs.
