NAGPUR: India Versus Australia first Test Day first Live Score Updates: India’s Mohammedd Siraj and Mohd Shami provided India with early breakthroughs as they sent openers Usman Khawaja  and David Warner  back in the first three overs. 

Australian skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first at Nagpur. Suryakumar Yadav and KS Bharat are making their Test debut for India today. India go with 3 spinners, Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav not in playing XI. Australia are playing two off-spinners in a Test after 35 years. Todd Murphy is finally making his debut.

Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb, Alex Carey (w), Pat Cummins (c), Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy, and Scott Boland are all Australian players.
