Ind vs Aus 1st Test: Aussie pacers demolish India for their lowest total in Test cricket

Australia's world-class bowling attack folded India for their lowest ever Test score on Saturday. Hazlewood's fiver and Cummins' four wickets restricted India for 36 runs in a batting collapse.

India began their day 3 of the first Test match looking to extend their 62-run lead and build a competitive total for the hosts.

India's previous lowest score in Test cricket came back in 1974 when they were bowled out for 42 runs against England at Lord's.

India's 36 is the lowest total in the current century for any team.
