Scott Boland led♔ Australia's charge with the ball, taking 4-31, while Mitchell Starc chipped in with 3-49 and Pat Cummins took 2-37 in front of a 47,556-strong crowd, th♈e biggest day one attendance for a Test at the SCG since 1976.

Nathan Lyon's solꦛe wicket came when Shubman Gill (20) was caught by Steve Smith, with Boland then taking out Virat Kohli (17), India's top scorer Pant (40) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (0), with the latter two dismissals coming one after the other.
Starc pinned Ravindra Jadeja (26) lbw and sent Prasidh Krishna (three) back to the pavilion, and Cummins ended the efforts of Washi♔ngton Sundar (14) and Bumrah (22).

Data Debrief: Sydney stronghold
Australia are gunning for their first Test series victory over India since 2015 - and the omens are good for them at the SCG, where they have lost only one of their 13 matches a🦂gainst India in the longest format, way back in January 1978.
In fact, Australia have lost just one of their last 23 Tests at the venue in total (W✃15 D7) – an innings and 83-run loss agꦍainst England in 2011.
Smith, meanwhile, is just 38 short of scoring⛎ 10,000 Test runs - only three Australians (R🅰icky Ponting, Allan Border and Steve Waugh) have previously achieved the feat. He has plundered at least 70 runs in all of his four Test innings against India at the SCG.
