Earlier, Australia had ended Day 1 on 274/5.
India have fielded their most inexperienced pace attack since the country’s second-ever Test match in 1934. The five Indian bowlers in the Brisbane Test (Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini, Shardul Thakur, T Natarajan and Washington Sundar) have a combined experience of four Tests.
Natarajan and Sundar are making their debut in the longest format of the game.
The four-match series is currently level at 1-1.
