Yashasvi Jaiswal confirmed his status as India’s new batting star with an unbeaten century and shared a record 201-run opening stand with KL Rahul as India batted to a likely unbeatable position in the opening Border-Gavaskar test at the Perth Stadium.

In the morning, India captain Bumrah deservedly got his 11th five-wicket haul while debutant Harshit Rana bowled a fiery opening spell to dismiss the hosts for 104 at the stroke of lunch despite a stiff last-wicket resistance from Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.

India's total in Perth is their joint-lowest in the first innings of a Test match on Australian soil. They were bowled out for 150 at Sydney in 2000 after electing to bat first. Only once India recorded a lower first-innings total in Australia - 58 all-out at Brisbane in 1947 while batting second.

India are pushing towards securing a famous Test win after openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal extended their lead over Australia to 130 runs in Perth.

In a chaotic Test match, both Australia and India struggled with batting, leading to 17 wickets on Day 1, leaving Australia at 67/7 after India's 150.
