Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith shared a half-century partnership as Australia survived some torrid time to take lunch at 76/2 on the opening day of the first Test of the four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) Stadium here on Thursday.

At lunch, Labuschagne was batting on 47 while Smith was on 19 as Australia survived some anxious moments in two hours of play in the morning. Labuschagne faced 110 deliveries in the first session while Smith negotiated 74 deliveries for his 19.
