Australia recovered from early jitters to reach 76 for two at lunch, but were tottering at 174 runs for the loss of 8 wickets at tea, and were eventually bowled out for 177 soon after on opening day of the first Test in Nagpur on Thursday.
Mohammed Shami (1/12) and Mohammed Siraj (1/13) removed Usman Khawaja (1) and David Warner (1) in quick succession but Labuschagne (49) and Smith (37) led the Australian fight back in an engaging first session.
