India dropped Shane Watson on zero and then 27 and helped him to reach century after removing Katich early but restricted Australia only on 224/5 and ended the day on top at the stump of day 1 in the first test at Mohali.
Australia were well placed on 154/1 after 40 overs but managed only 70 runs in the next 50 overs due to tight bowling by spinners Harbhajan and Ojha. Zaheer Khan was pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets including 2 wickets in 2 overs in the end.
Shane Watson played 279 balls in his century of 101* and played a major role in dropping the run rate. India has a good chance now to wrap up the inning early and then score decent runs.
So join here tomorrow for the live score of the 2nd day of 1st test match.
