UAE Captain Ahmad Skaik shoots a strong six birdie 73 but first round honours go to South Korea
Australia have ended the second session of Day 1 of ICC World Test Championship against India at 170/3. Travis Head (60*) and Steve Smith (33*) are at the crease and aim to maintain their momentum in the final session of the day.
Indian bowlers were relentless on a lively pitch as they restricted Australia to 73 for two at lunch on the opening day of the World Test Championship final at the Oval on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Shardul Thakur dismissed David Warner (43 off 60 balls) at the stroke of lunch after the Australian opener survived a probing spell from Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj.
Siraj got Indian an early breakthrough when he had Usman Khawaja caught behind for a duck. But Warner and Marnus Labuschagne (26 not out off 61 balls) revived the Australian innings before Thakur struck.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl on a green pitch.
