Hazlewood takes 4; India bowled out for 150

November 22, 2024

Aus 13-0 (2 ovs) vs India 150 | Scorecard

Usman Khawaja walks out to open the batting with debutant Nathan McSweeney.

Captain Jasprit Bumrah will hope to make the new ball count by claiming a few early wickets.

Not a good start as Bumrah oversteps off the first ball which Khawaja clips on the leg side for a single to get off the mark.

McSweeney's first ball in Test cricket is left alone as it bounces high to hit the thigh pads before he plays and misses next ball as Bumrah gets it to swing away from the right-hander.

Bumrah strays down the leg side as McSweeney glances it fine for a four to get off the mark in style in Test cricket and leaves the last ball.

Mohammed Siraj from the other end. Khawaja taps the first ball with soft hands on the off-side for a quick run and McSweeney guides the next past the gully fielder for two runs.

McSweeney gets the edge off Siraj but the ball stays low and goes between the fielder at first and second slip for a four.

The last ball jags in sharply as McSweeney offers no shot and is struck high on the pads with the LBW shout turned down.
