WATCH: Mohammed Shami sends David Warner’s stumps cartwheeling | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: The initial part of the morning of Day 1 of the ongoing India vs Australia first Test in Nagpur belonged to the hosts. Soon after Mohammed Siraj gave India their first breakthrough, dismissing Umman Khawaja, Mohammed Shami too joined the party. Shami, bowling his second over of the match, from around the wicket, sent the dangerous David Warner’s stumps cartwheeling.
Warner was stuck on the crease and had no answer to Shami’s length delivery that angled in. The star opener departed for just 1, the same as his opening partner, Khawaja. The scoreboard at that time read 2/2.
Despite low bounce on the Nagpur pitch, the Indian pacers drew first blood.
