Australian openers, David Warner and Usman Khwaja, made a positive note as they both built up a partnership of 50 runs for the opening wicket before Warner was dismissed by right-arm seamer Mohammad Shami when he was at the score of 15.

The duo stitched a 41-run partnership before Labuschange was dismissed to veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. He got back to the pavilion after scoring just 18 runs which included four boundaries.
