Watch: Ellyse Perry Gets Fiery Send Off, Stunned by India's Ripper
The India women's cricket team had a fabulous outing with the ball on the first day of the ongoing one-off Test against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. When asked to bowl first, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side scalped quick wickets as Australia were reduced to 103/4 at lunch break. India launched a heavy attack on Australia's batting line-up, as they got their first wicket in the first over itself. However, the dismissal of Australian batter Ellyse Perry by Pooja Vastrakar in the second over became the highlight of the day.

On the fourth delivery of the second over, Perry tried to play a shot but got completely bamboozled by Vastrakar's stunning pace. The ball comfortably dodged the bat and cleaned up the stumps as Perry departed for four.
Phoebe Litchfield walked back towards the pavilion for a diamond duck. A momentary hesitation from her allowed Jemimah Rodrigues to capitalize and send the batter back for 0(0).
In the next over, Pooja Vastrakar got past Ellyse Perry's defense to send her back for 4(2). Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath launched a counter-attack in the next few overs, bringing the game back to parity.
