IND vs AUS 2. Test Day 2, Live: OUT

OUT OF!!! Jasprit Bumrah is on fire today as he gives India another wicket for 2 in the form of Steve Smith. Smith becomes confused by the speed as the ball touches the edge as he tries to move it towards the boundary. The ball then travels to the wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, who then dives to his left and takes a stunning catch. The third wicket went to Australia and all three were taken by Bumrah.

IND vs AUS 2. Test Day 2, Live: OUT

OUT OF!!!! AND JASPRIT BUMRAH DOES IT!!!! Bumrah is simply the biggest savior for India as he gives them another breakthrough. This time Bumrah dismisses Nathan McSweeney for 39. He shoots just in front of a good length ball that stands up ever so slightly. The jumping ability is also good and McSweeney can find balance when defending out of the goal area. An audible outside edge and Rishabh Pant devours it with ease. Second wicket gone for Australia.

AUS 91/2 (36.1 overs)

In a surprising twist, Indian captain Rohit Sharma hands the ball to Mohammed Siraj and asks him to bowl the first game of the day. This is a good strategy as he keeps his premium bowler Jasprit Bumrah for later. India needs to take a wicket at the earliest to get back into the game. Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne are solid for Australia.

OFF 90/1 (34 overs)

IND vs AUS 2. Test Day 2, Live: Pitch Report

“The sun is shining and there is a nice breeze. There is still some grass there, not as green as yesterday. The Indians will look to exploit it and also take advantage of the breeze. The Australians would have used the roller.” So the effect of the roller lasts for half an hour or 45 minutes. It’s actually pretty vague. This is a completely different day.
