Snapshot for day 1 of the first Test

A snapshot of day one of the first cricket Test between Australia and India in Pune.

AUSTRALIA V INDIA, 1ST TEST AT A GLANCE

STATE OF PLAY - Australia 9-256 at stumps on day one after winning the toss

MAN OF DAY - Matt Renshaw. Handled India's star spinners with aplomb despite his inexperience, the dry deck and a stomach bug that forced him to retire hurt.

KEY STAT - The 20-year-old Renshaw became the youngest Australian to post a Test half-century in India. Rick Darling previously held the title, having done it at age 22 in 1979.

KEY MOMENT - Mitchell Starc raised his bat after reaching 50 in 47 balls. Australia had slipped to 9-205 before Starc teed off.

BEST QUOTE - ""(Steve Smith) wasn't too thrilled about (going off) but he understands when you need to go to the toilet you've got to go to the toilet," RENSHAW on the captain's reaction to him retiring hurt.
