Chennai, July 29<\/strong> - The first day of the second and final four-day first class cricket match against Australia A turned out to be quite dismal for India A, who were bowled out for a meagre 135 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At stumps, Australia A were batting at 43 for no loss with openers Cameron Bancroft and Usman Khawaja unbeaten on 24 and 13, trailing India A by 92 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It was a poor first innings outing for the hosts, who despite winning the toss and having India Test skipper Virat Kohli (16) in their ranks, collapsed for the measly total.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The fall started when captain Cheteshwar Pujara (11) was bowled by medio Marcus Stoinis (1\/21). India A were soon tottering at 53\/4 with the losses of opener Abhinav Mukund (15), Kohli and Shreyas Iyer (1).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Kohli hit a six and a boundary and looked like getting a big one but left-arm tweaker Ashton Agar (2\/23) had other plans and put an end to the Indian's innings, getting him trapped in front of the wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Karun Nair (50) and wicketkeeper batsman Naman Ojha then offered the only resistance to Australia A bowlers by striking an important 56-run fifth wicket partnership. Though Ojha contributed only 10 runs in the stand, his 84-ball stay helped Nair reach his half-century in 153 deliveries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

But once Ojha was stumped of Agar (2\/23), the final fall happened again with India A losing their last six wickets for only 24 runs, totally giving the advantage to the visitors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Indian origin Australian pacer Gurinder Sandhu picked the most number of wickets. The right-armer cleaned up the India A tail to end with 3\/25. Agar, spinner Steve O'Keefe (2\/30) and pacer Andrew Fekete (2\/33) also clinched two wickets each.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In reply, the visitors started well as Bancroft and Khawaja did not play loose shots and stuck it out in the middle for 13 overs before the close of play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Brief scores: India A 135 all out (Karun Nair 50; Gurinder Sandhu 3\/25, Ashton Agar 2\/23, Steve O'Keefe 2\/30) vs Australia A 43 for no loss (Cameron Bancroft 24 not out).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
