Fri Dec 06 20:28:40 UTC 2024: ## India’s Day One Struggle in Adelaide Test Against Australia

**Adelaide, Australia:** The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia got underway today in Adelaide, with the first day heavily favouring the home side. Australia’s potent bowling attack bundled out India for a paltry 180 runs, a performance highlighted by Mitchell Starc’s impressive 6-wicket haul – his best figures against India. This marked the fourth time in Test history that Starc has taken 5 or more wickets in an innings against India.

In response, Australia ended the day strongly at 86/1, setting the stage for a potentially decisive second day. The match, a day-night Test, began later than the first Test in Perth, with the toss taking place at 9:00 AM IST and play commencing at 9:30 AM IST. While the first day’s play ended later than usual, fans can look forward to a 9:30 AM IST start on both Saturday and Sunday.
