Steve Smith was the only one of Australia's three candidates for the Test allrounder's position to pass 20 as the tourists were bowled out for 241 on Tuesday against an Indian Board XI.

Striving to reclaim his Test spot for the series against India which starts on February 22, Smith came in at No.4 and made a stylish 41 in two-and-a-half hours on a turning pitch.

Uncapped allrounders Glenn Maxwell (0) and Moises Henriques (16) will get another chance to impress selectors with the ball on day two of the two-day game in Chennai.

Opener Ed Cowan made 58 in an important knock given the ongoing speculation that Test No.4 Shane Watson might be better suited at the top of the order.

Usman Khawaja (32) and Cowan shared an opening stand of 77 at the tree-lined Guru Nanak College Ground where the genteel atmosphere was heightened by having two waiters in black suits carry trays of drinks out during the morning session.

Cowan was given out caught behind to offspinner Parvez Rassol at 2-109 after Australia were 1-81 at lunch. The uncapped Rassol, 23, was the star of the day with figures of 7-45 off 28.3 overs.

Rassol removed Matthew Wade who was caught at long-off for 35.

Maxwell, whose international profile soared after being bought last weekend by Mumbai Indians for $US1 million ($A977,000) in the Indian Premier League auction, was caught behind off paceman Stuart Binny at 4-169 just before tea.

Henriques was caught at short cover off the bowling of legspinner Sarabjit Ladda and Smith popped a catch to short leg off Rassol six runs later at 6-198.

Peter Siddle (22) and James Pattinson (nine) added 30 for the seventh wicket before Rassol removed both batsmen in the 83rd over.

Australia lost 4-13 to end their innings five minutes before the scheduled stumps.

Monday's arrivals Watson, Xavier Doherty, Mitchell Johnson, Mitchell Starc and Phil Hughes are likely to play in the three-day game starting on Saturday.peSkipper Michael Clarke and David Warner, who are nursing hamstring and thumb complaints, were due to arrive shortly.

Western Australia spinner Ashton Agar, 19, has been included in the Australia team for the two-day game as part of his development and is heading home this weekend.
