India have entered this match with 5 batsmen each capable of batting for two days. In the first innings Starc offloaded two of then in an over. The rest of the Indian team went bananas and threw away their wickets.
KL Rahul is injured or faking injury to get off the field, perhaps to build up some energy to bat long. But even if his shoulder is stuffed that still leaves them with four blokes who are known long innings builders.
We should not be too comfortable with 8 sessions left to play, no rain and 38 degree heat forecast.
If we cannot knock them over Starc, Hazlewood and O'Keefe could be cooked before the 2nd test. Lyon is the only bloke we've got out there that can bowl all day and do it again tomorrow, but he doesn't have the captain's confidence.
For me it' a big mistake not trying to bat out another session.
