Phew, this will take time to process. The day started with the match beautifully poised, and ended with India falling off a cliff. Kohli appeared a little dazed post-match, as you would expect. And now India face the daunting task of having to recover without him going ahead in this series. There are injury concerns over Shami as well. Just a terrible, terrible day for them. At least it's done. That's all we have from here. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of MS Ramakrishnan, Raju Peethala, Kumar Abhisekh Das and Mukesh. Goodbye!
Josh Hazlewood: Still pinching myself (about how quickly the wickets fell). Little bit (smiles, asked if he emulated Glenn McGrath style of bowling today). I try to do that every time I bowl to be honest. We bowled a little bit fuller and straighter and there you go... all out for 36, good result. Ready to go from ball one makes a lot of difference, can go wrong if you take two three balls to warm up. That one boundary early on for the batsman can make a difference. The wicket quickened up definitely. We bowled a touch fuller, gave the ball air to swing and got the results. Hope for a bit more grass on (for the rest of the series). We have got a blueprint from this game as to how we should go about it. Red ball is another change. We ticked a lot of boxes this game. The difference at certain times of the day with the pink ball. Tough to bat in the night, during the day it's kind of soft for the bowlers. but this pitch had a bit more grass than the previous series. So we are still learning and evolving with the pink ball.
Kohli | India captain: It's very hard to put those feeling into words. We had a lead of 60-odd when we arrived. And then just collapsed. Played two days of good cricket to get in a position and then just lose it in an hour. Really hurts. Probably didn't have enough intent in the batting today. It's something that needs to be reflected and learnt from. Bowlers bowled similar kind of areas in the first innings as well, but then our mindset was to get runs. There were some good balls. But I don't think it did anything drastic. Just the atmosphere was created where runs were difficult to come by. I think it was a combination of both - lack of intent, and bowlers bowling in good areas. Obviously you want to be committed to the team's cause. Confident the boys going forward will reflect on this and come up with a better result on Boxing Day. No news on Shami, he's going for a scan now. Was in a lot of pain, couldn't even lift his arm. We'll probably know in the evening what happens.
Paine | Australia captain and Player of the Match: (Can you believe?) No, not really. Said in the media both these attacks have the ability to take quick wickets. Didn't expect it to come that quick. Was expecting a real dogfight. To hang in, give our bowlers a chance, and then turn up and start the day the way we did. Full credit to our bowling attack again. Nice to get off to a good start. Chuffed with the way we bowled in this Test. Still a bit of work to do with our batting. Burns is a really important part of our team. All cricketers know how hard it is to come out of a rut like that.

18:25 Local Time, 07:55 GMT, 13:25 IST: Lowest ever Test score for India. First time none of their batsmen got into double figures. Nine wickets lost in around 100 minutes. These bare facts tell you the story of a day that'll probably go down as one of the worst in India's Test history. What they don't tell you is that India were ahead when it all began. With a lead of over 60, there were plans of taking it away from Australia who had to bat last. But then came Cummins, and then came Hazlewood, and there went those plans down the drain. What a display it was of controlled seam bowling. Absolutely relentless, finding the nicks almost every other delivery to skittle the visitors for 36. And then as if things could get any better, even Joe Burns helped himself to a fifty enroute the 90-run target as the hosts rattled home. Hang around to see what Kohli has to say.

U Yadav to Burns, SIX, parried over the ropes, fifty for Burns and a win for Australia. Difficult chance this at fine leg. Short ball, Burns pulls in the air and it's flying away over the fielder. He backpedals, sticks his arm up but can't hold on. Australia go 1-0 up
Ali asgar C: Not criticising but India need to make lot of changes to their playing XI, its not IPL.
U Yadav to Burns, no run, short of length into the body, fended to short leg
U Yadav to Burns, no run, good length delivery outside off, plays a loose drive away from the body. Gets beaten on the outside edge
U Yadav to Burns, no run, back of a length on middle and leg, glanced to backward square
vaibhav: India need to reassess their plans, before heading into the second test.
U Yadav to Burns, FOUR, full outside off, cracks the square drive behind point. As if this day could've got better for Australia, they now have Burns among the runs as well
U Yadav to Smith, 1 run, back of a length on leg, tucks it behind square

Ravichandran Ashwin
6-1-16-1
Ashwin to Burns, no run, turns it to short leg
Steven Smith, right handed bat, comes to the crease
ashish jain: Loose fielding by India in the first innings may be the apt reason for defeat.
Ashwin to Labuschagne, out Caught by Agarwal!! THis has been skied off the leading edge. Nice flight and dip on the off-break, Labuschagne is unable to get to the pitch as he advances down. Still tries to slog over midwicket but sends it straight up. No mistake from Agarwal at mid-on. Rather unnecessary shot. Maybe just getting rid of his bad impulses early in the series with the win secure. Labuschagne c Agarwal b Ashwin 6(10)
Ashwin to Labuschagne, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Ashwin to Labuschagne, no run, flat length ball outside off, Labuschagne steers it to point
Ashwin to Burns, 1 run, turning down leg, nudges it round the corner
Tharun: Definitely not the way Kohli would have wanted to finish the tour.
Ashwin to Burns, FOUR, drifts down leg, another gift for Burns who's welcoming all these runs he's getting. Gets down on one knee and sweeps past backward square
Ashwin to Burns, no run, back of a length, spinning in on leg, Burns clips it to backward square
