Jemimah Rodrigues (15 not out) and Deepti Sharma (4 not out) are still at the crease for India. But the disciplined Australian attack \u2013 led by Annabel Sutherland\u2019s 2-26, debutant Lucy Hamilton\u2019s 1-23, and Darcie Brown\u2019s 1-33 \u2013 ensured the hosts remained firmly in control of the proceedings in what is also the final international game of Alyssa Healy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India\u2019s innings began shakily after Smriti Mandhana survived a probing first over from Darcie Brown. She looked shaky before being undone in the sixth over by Lucy, who claimed her maiden Test wicket with a sharp nip-backer that castled the India vice-captain through the gate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shafali Verma looked positive by hitting six boundaries in making 35 off 48 balls, before edging Annabel behind to Beth Mooney while playing a drive sans footwork. Debutant Pratika Rawal looked scratchy in her 18 off 43 balls and was dismissed after drinks when she slashed at a wide delivery from Sutherland, only to be caught at gully.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
