India were 210 for two at tea on day one of their second Test against England here today.
Australia began cautiously in the morning period. Both
the openers edged the bowlers on one occasion each through the slip cordon but Warner, as is his wont, also dispatched the loose balls to the fence.
Dinda gave way to Saini after a four-over first spell and the Delhi medium pacer struck a blow in his very first over by packing off pocket dynamo Warner with a short ball that the left-hander tried to pull and got a top-edge to be caught behind by Ishan Kishan.
Warner's 25 came off 43 balls and he hit the ball to the fence on four occasions in his 40-minute essay.
After the first drinks break, Smith started driving the ball fluently on the up and looked in no trouble against the medium pacers and drove them for well-timed fours, mainly in the "V".

But Saini struck again in the fifth over after the drinks break by dismissing the stone-walling Renshaw with a ball that moved away a shade as the batsman poked at it and took the bat's edge for Kishan to grab the second catch of the morning.
Renshaw had occupied the crease for 84 minutes and struck a lone four in his 41-ball knock and at his dismissal the visitors were 55 for two.
Smith and Marsh, who was not able to time the ball as well as his captain initially, took the visitors to lunch without any further loss.
