Nineteen-year-old Sam Konstas strengthened his Ashes aspirations with a remarkable century, supported by Campbell Kellaway's impressive 88, as Australia 'A' challenged India 'A' bowlers on the first day. Konstas's 109 and Kellaway's 88 laid a solid foundation with a 198-run opening partnership. Harsh Dubey's 3/88 helped India 'A' claw back, restricting Australia 'A' to 337/5 at stumps.
