Cricket-India hammer Australia by 295 runs in first test

PERTH (Reuters) - India dismissed Australia for 238 after tea on the fourth day of the first test at Perth Stadium on Monday to secure a resounding 295-run victory and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.

Australia have not beaten India in a test series since 2015 and now face an uphill task to do so over the remaining matches in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
