The first Test starts at the Adelaide Oval Dec 9.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Aaron was handed new-ball responsibilities and struck in the second over, cleaning up Ashton Turner for a duck in the second over.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The hosts then collapsed to 34\/3, losing three of their four frontline batsman. Jordan Silk and Alex Keath (19) put on a stand worth 71 runs before Aaron broke it, forcing an edge of Silk&#39;s bat for 58.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Aaron finished with figures of four wickets for 41 runs from 14.3 overs while his new-ball partner Mohammed Shami claimed two wickets in his opening spell, removing Ryan Carters (1) and Matthew Short (19).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">In reply Indians lost opener Shikhar Dhawan for nought and one-down batsman Cheteshwar Pujara (22) cheaply to be pegged back at 36\/2, but Vijay and Kohli steadied the ship to steer the tourists to a comfortable position at the end of the day&#39;s play.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Brief Scores: Cricket Australia XI: 243 (Jordan Silk 58, Varun Aaron 4\/41)<br \/>\r\nIndians: 99\/2 (Josh Lalor 2\/18, Murali Viay 39 not out).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
