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. Brad Haddin and Izzy Westbury break it all down for you with questions from the Secret Cricket Club.

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. Izzy Westbury and Brad Haddin recap the action with a cameo from Tubby Taylor!

Seventeen wickets fell on day one at Optus Stadium but just the three batters were dismissed on day two - all three Australian for 37 runs as the hosts were bowled out for 104 to concede a 46-run first-innings advantage. After lunch it was all India with Yashasvi Jaiswal (90no) and KL Rahul (62no) driving the visitors to 0-172, a lead of 218 and a commanding position to take the first Test of the summer. Brad Haddin and Izzy Westbury join you to recap all the action, look ahead to day three and answer questions from the Secret Cricket Club.

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. But then India captain Jasprit Bumrah ripped apart Australia's top order, including Steve Smith for a golden duck, to leave Australia floundering at 7-67 from 27 overs. Brad Haddin and Izzy Westbury break it all down for you and answer questions from the Secret Cricket Club.
