India vs Australia 1st Test Live Cricket Score: Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 1 play’s of the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between India and Australia which is taking place at Optus Stadium in Perth.

The wait is over and the highly-anticipated tussle between two of the best cricketing nations in the world is almost underway. India will be looking to start off strong despite the absence of big-name stars like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and others.

For Australia, it will be about establishing their dominance on home soil as they remain hungry to get the better of their opposition and end their wait to reclaim the elusive Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
