Bumrah to McSweeney, FOUR, Down leg, tickled fine, applause around the ground as McSweeney gets off the mark in Tests. The length (fullish not full) was fine but Bumrah's sharp angle had his stray too straight

Bumrah to McSweeney, no run, A bit of room again, easy leave for McSweeney again

Bumrah to McSweeney, no run, What a corker from Bumrah! Seam-up, angling it in on a length, homing in towards top of off, so it seemed before it seamed away to go past the full-faced defence. McSweeney gets squared up but no shame in that with balls so good

Bumrah to McSweeney, no run, Outside off and that's enough for McSweeney to buy a leave

Bumrah to McSweeney, no run, McSweeney shuffles across to off and leaves the ball on length, gets hit high on the thigh pad. Too high for lbw to be into play but that one looked to have jagged back in off the pitch

McSweeney stands leg side and collects his thoughts before prepping to face

Bumrah to Khawaja, (no ball) 1 run, A touch too straight first up, it's helped off the pads by Khawaja to the leg side. Bumrah's overstepped

Three slips, closely packed - lined up diagonally too. Here's Bumrah

As Australia come on to bat, the big how is 'how will the debutant McSweeney go.' He'll have the experienced Usman Khawaja for company, but Jasprit Bumrah will be a handful. Top-order runs remain a premium commodity. Can Australia get some?

3:25pm, Day 1, Session 3: "Cricket is often played in the mind," you hear players say it often, almost to the point of cliche. Experiencing the game as a fan evokes a similar feeling at times. If you were told India'd get rolled for 150 at the start of the day, you probably wouldn't have been surprised, but as Test cricket shows the how matters much more than the why.
