Lyon spins Aussies to victory

Off-spinner Nathan Lyon took 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time in his career as Australia beat India by 48 runs in the first Test at Adelaide.

India fell short of their target of 364 from 98 overs despite captain Virat Kohli’s 141 and Murali Vijay’s 99.

Lyon took 7-152 in the second innings to finish with match figures of 12-286.

But Australia captain Michael Clarke injured his hamstring while fielding and will miss the rest of the four-match series.

Australia declared on their overnight total of 290-5, and India looked comfortable in their pursuit of 364 as Kohli, deputising for the injured MS Dhoni, and opener Vijay put on 185 for the second wicket.

Vijay fell in the 10th over after tea, lbw to Lyon one short of his century, and India’s hopes further dimmed when having completed his second century of the match, Kohli was caught on the mid-wicket boundary by Mitchell Marsh off the bowling of Lyon.
