Mayank Agarwal subsided into life as India's Test cricketer in the first part of the day session of the Boxing Day Test
Australia's solitary wicket in the main session got through a snorter from Pat Cummins to dispose of India's stopgap opener, Hanuma Vihari, for 8. That wicket fell off the 113th bundle of the opening session on Boxing Day, and set the layout for the lengths to bowl on a slowish drop-in pitch at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
When, Australia worked their way towards finding the correct lengths to bowl on the pitch, India's two new openers - Mayank Agarwal and Vihari - saw off early nerves to put on a certain remain against the new ball. While Vihari stayed certain about shot-production, it took him 25 balls to get off the stamp with his shots constantly finding the defenders. Then again, Agarwal, hustled away on the runs count, nailing his drives in the holes and was the prevailing accomplice in the opening stand worth 40.
Be that as it may, Cummins, pushed to fourth decision after the two pacers and Nathan Lyon by Tim Paine as there appeared to be no signs of pace at first glance, demonstrated that he could at present concentrate something commendable. He hit Vihari on the protective cap first, tailing it up by hitting Mayank on the back with brisk, very much coordinated bouncers. Before long, he had Vihari fighting before his face and gloving it to the cordon behind to give Australia an opening, and a layout.
Mithcell Starc and Josh Hazlewood came in for short spells previously lunch, and continued with the short-ball system that kept both batsmen careful until Lunch, where India strolled off at 57/1, and ensuring that triumphant a vital hurl had not been quickly misused.
