AUSTRALIA WIN BY 333 RUNS!

India 107-all out (33.5 ovs) vs Aus; Target: 441 | Scorecard


Off-spinner Lyon ends India's agony with the wicket of Jayant Yadav, who is caught by Matthew Wade off an inside edge as India are bowled out for a lowly 107 in 33.5 overs.

Steve O'Keefe claimed six for 35 to finish with 12 wickets in the match, while Lyon bagged four for 53 with the two spinners claiming all 10 wickets in the second innings.

Another disappointing performance by the Indian batsmen as they barely crossed the 100-run mark in both innings.

This is Australia's first Test match win in India after a long wait of nearly 13 years, with their last win coming in November 2004 in Nagpur.

Before the start of the series, everyone expected World No. 1 India to streamroll the Australians but the visitors came up with an inspired showing, and outplayed the hosts with both bat and ball to register a comprehensive win.

India have a lot of thinking and hard work to do before the next match starts in Bengaluru from March 4.
