Australia vs India: Alyssa Healy’s sideline on the first day of her final Test as captain

Australia dismissed India for 198 on the first day of the day-night Test in Perth with Alyssa Healy starting her final match as captain of the home team.

Australia finished their reply on 96-3, trailing by 102 runs, with Healy – who will retire from all formats after this series – falling to 13th in the WACA.

All-rounder Annabel Sutherland impressed with the ball, taking 4-46, while left-arm fast bowler Lucy Hamilton impressed on her Test debut by claiming 3-31.

After losing the toss, India slumped to 107-5 but Jemima Rodriguez amassed a defiant 52 to prevent her team from being bowled over.

In response, Georgia Fall (two) and Phoebe Litchfield (nine) both scored single-digit goals to leave the hosts 31-2, putting Healy ahead.

She began the rebuilding alongside Ellyse Perry before selecting Rodriguez at point off Sayali Satgari as the Australians fell to 58-3.

However, Perry remained unbeaten with 43 runs, while Sutherland was not out on 20, as Australia will look to build a first-innings lead on the second day of the four-day match.
