Siraj opens the attack for India as proceedings commence on Day 2.
Siraj starts with a ball full and on the middle stump and Labuschagne neatly clips it through midwicket to start the day with three runs.
McSweeney then defends the next four balls before playing the ball past mid-wicket for a single as 4 come off the over.

Aus 86-1 (33 ovs) vs India 180 | Scorecard
Welcome to Day 2 of the pink ball 2nd Test in Adelaide on Saturday.
The hosts finished day one on 86-1, looking on course for a first-innings lead as they seek to bounce back in the five-Test series.
Opener Nathan McSweeney was batting on 38 with Marnus Labuschagne on 20 at the other end.
This, after Mitchell Starc was a menace with the pink ball and claimed a career-best six for 48 as Australia bundled out India for 180 inside two sessions of the day-night second Test in Adelaide on Friday.
Australia will look to counter the Indian bowling in the first hour while the Indians will hope to make some early inroads to wrest back control.
A fascinating day of cricket lies ahead.
