Summary Australia were 123 without loss on the opening day of the fourth and final Test against India.
SYDNEY (AP) - David Warner and Chris Rogers gave Australia a flying start against India, guiding the hosts to 123-0 at lunch Tuesday on the first day of the fourth cricket test.
India s bowlers were wayward in the morning session, frequently allowing Rogers (52 not out) and Warner to score at nearly five runs an over, after Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat first at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Warner, unbeaten on 63, found his characteristic aggression to dominate the Indian attack, including three consecutive boundaries off one Umesh Yadav over.
Rogers was given a reprieve on 19 by Rahul, who dropped an easy chance at second slip off Mohammad Shami, giving Virat Kohli a harsh introduction as new Indian test captain.
