A daunting Australian side beat India by eight wickets at the Adelaide Oval to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match Test series on Saturday. India after finishing at 36/9 on the third day of the Test, managed to take only two wickets as the hosts raced away to the victory line, registering an emphatic win.

The visitors started the third day of the pink-ball Test on nine for one and with a 62-run lead, looking to build a competitive second innings total.

But their hopes were left in tatters on a wicket with bounce and deviation, as Hazlewood took 5-8, including his 200th Test wicket, and Cummins 4-21.

Set 90 to win, Australia lost two wickets in the chase, with Joe Burns unbeaten on 51.
