Australians took all over on Indians in the first session of final test as they scored 123 without any loss during the stint at a brilliant pace giving no chance for Indian bowlers.

Australians decided to bat on a good batting surface after winning the toss against Indians, who came out with four changes; as Rohit, Raina, Saha and Bhuvneshwar came in for Dhawan, Pujara, Dhoni and Ishant.

With the pitch not offering much for bowlers, Indian pacers failed to trouble the Australian opening pair expect a couple of half chances. Both the batsmen flown at a good pace, especially Warner, who brought up his fifty in just 46 balls went berserk over hopeless Indian bowlers scored at run a ball. On other hand, Rogers brought up his fifty in final over before Lunch in 91 balls, was dropped earlier off Shami by Lokesh Rahul at 2nd slip, continuing his horrible debut series.
