The opener&#39;s knock came off 112 deliveries, decorated with seven boundaries and couple of sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agarwal&#39;s fall saw skipper Virat Kohli joining Pujara in the middle and the duo added 51 runs for the third wicket in quick succession as India reached a healthy 177\/2 with one more session of play left in the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli and Pujara were batting on 23 and 61 runs respectively at the tea break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, the visitors opted to bat and lost the only wicket of Lokesh Rahul (9) in the morning session.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores: India 177\/2 (Mayank Agarwal 77, Cheteshwar Pujara 61 batting; Josh Hazlewood 1\/27) at tea on Day 1 vs Australia.<\/p>\r\n",
