Test 2, India vs Australia, Day 1

Second test match started today at Hyderabad. Australia won the toss for the fourth time consecutively and elected to bat first. Australians were expected to play well, but they failed to dominate the game throughout the day. both the openers, Warner and Cowan were back in the pavilion for total of 10 runs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar demonstrated excellent swing bowling skills as he hunted down 3 Australian top order batsmen. Only Australian Captain Clarke and Wade could resist Indian bowling attack to some extent. Clarke (91) and Wade (62) stood together for partnership of 145 runs. Wade was dismissed at score of 208. Australia lose next 4 wickets in just 28 runs. Captain Clarke made an interesting decision by declaring Australian innings as they wanted Indian to play some overs before stumps.
