Shane Watson made the most of two dropped catches to score a century as Australia posted 224/5 in their first innings at stumps on the opening day of the first Test against India on Friday......[Scorecard]
Watson, who cracked a century in each innings of a practice game before the Test, completed his hundred in the final session when he turned off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to deep square-leg for two runs.
He has so far cracked eight fours in his 279-ball knock. Tim Paine was the other not-out batsman on one.
India did not allow Australia to seize the initiative despite Watson's hundred as left-arm paceman Zaheer Khan grabbed three big wickets, including two in the final session.
