Indians then made a sound start, reaching 55\/1 at stumps on the first day of the two-day match.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Fast bowler Varun Aaron was the most successful among the bowlers, claiming three top-order wickets. Seamers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammad Shami, and uncapped legspinner Karn Sharma took two each, while spinner Ravichandran Ashwin managed one.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The CA XI were dismissed in 71.5 overs, and in reply, the Indians lost opener Shikhar Dhawan (10) cheaply in the 16 overs they batted before stumps.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">CA XI chose to bat on a lively pitch and got jolted in the very first over losing Matthew Short (0) to Bhuvneshwar. The home team recovered through a half-century stand between Ashton Turner (29) and Ryan Carters (58). But Aaron then struck twice in three balls to assert the touring team&#39;s supremacy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">CA XI had another half-century stand for the fourth wicket after lunch, between Carters and Kelvin Smith (40). But once Smith got out to Ashwin with the score on 126, their batting fell through.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">They could have been bowled out for a far lesser score, having been reduced to 167\/9, but for Harry Nielsen&#39;s defiant knock (43), putting on 52 for the last wicket with Harry Conway (7).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Dhawan lasted only 20 balls in the Indians&#39; innings. M. Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara were at the crease at stumps.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
