IND vs AUS: Akash Deep impresses on his return as Australia ends Day 1 at 28-0. Khawaja and McSweeney steady ahead of day two in the pivotal Test.

India seamer Akash Deep, who had come into the side in place of Harshit Rana, had an lbw appeal against McSweeney turned down but there were no other alarms for the hosts.

Nathan McSweeney remains at the crease with his opening partner heading into day two, with the Queenslander sitting at four runs of 33 balls at stumps.


Akash Deep has come back into the Indian side and looked impressive so far, with the right arm quick only conceding the two runs from his 3.2 overs bowled so far in this test match.

Play will resume at 9:50am local time for the remaining four days of play, with both sides eager to get the opportunity to enter the Boxing Day test in Melbourne with a 2-1 lead in the Border-Gavaskar series.
