India wrapped up the first Test at Optus Stadium in the final session on day four to secure a 295-run win and a 1-0 series lead. Travis Head (89) and Mitch Marsh (47) defied India on Monday but a target of 534 was far too great as India's bowling attack - led by player of the match and captain Jasprit Bumrah - dismissed the hosts for 238.

India started the day 0-172 with a lead of 218. Yashavsi Jaiswal scored his 4th Test hundred and made it a biggy - 161 and couldn't believe it when he hit a long hop to Steve Smith at backward point. Australia fought back taking 3 for 8, but then it was all Virat Kohli, who broke his century drought with Test ton number 30. India declared on 6 for 487, setting Australia 534 runs to win. Australia lost three before stumps: Nathan McSweeny for a duck, nightwatchman Pat Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne shouldering arms to be 3-12, still 522 run away from victory.

Australia's fast bowlers did the business on the first day of the first Test at Optus Stadium in Perth, dismissing India for 150 in two sessions to put the hosts in the ascendency.
