India vs Australia Highlights, 2nd Test: Australia posted 86/1 in 33 overs at Stumps against India on Day 1 of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy’s second Test in Perth, on Friday. The hosts trail by 94 runs, with Nathan McSweeney (38*) and Marnus Labuschagne (20*) remaining unbeaten. The Aussie innings began with Usman Khawaja falling to Jasprit Bumrah for 13 off 35 balls....Read More
Earlier, Nitish Kumar Reddy squeezed out as many runs as possible from the tail and took India to a score of 180 batting first in the pink-ball Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval. He fell on 42 off 54 balls and became the sixth man to fall to Mitchell Starc on the day. Starc finished with career-best figures of 6/48, continuing his domineering run at home in pink-ball Tests.
India had been reduced to their last two wickets for 141 runs in the second session. Reddy's charge took India past 170-run mark. Earlier, captain Rohit Sharma's return to the middle order didn't last long as he fell to Scott Bolland early in the second session. Australia captain Pat Cummins then suddenly rediscovered his mojo and bounced out Rishabh Pant. This brought Ravichandran Ashwin and he hit 22 quick runs before becoming Starc's fifth victim of the day.
Starc was earlier the toast of the first session of the pink-ball Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval. India were reeling at 82/4 at Dinner with captain Rohit Sharma batting on one off 10 balls and Rishabh Pant on four off six. Starc rattled India early by dismissing the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal for a golden duck off the very first ball of the match. Starc was then brought back towards the end of the first session and responded by dismissing KL Rahul for 37 off 64 balls, thus ending a 69-run stand between him and Shubman Gill. India then suddenly lost two more wickets and Australia finished in front at the end of the first session. Starc got Kohli in his next over and then Shubman Gill fell to Scott Boland after scoring 31 in 51 balls.
Gill and Rahul seemed to have got India off to a fluent start after Starc shocked them early. Rahul had his fair share of luck earlier in the innings. He nicked behind to the wicketkeeper off the first ball bowled by Scott Boland but he was saved by the umpire calling it a no ball. Rahul was later dropped off the fifth ball of the same over. He then changed tactics and scored fluently with Gill after the drinks break until he fell late in the session.
India captain Rohit Sharma earlier won the toss and said that the visitors are batting first in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India have chosen to drop Washington Sundar and bring back Ravichandran Ashwin. Apart from this, Dhruv Jurel and Devudutt Padikkal also sit out as expected as Rohit and Shubman Gill return.
Here are a few pointers regarding the India vs Australia 2nd Test:
- Australia posted 86/1 in 33 overs at Stumps, and trail by 94 runs
-Jasprit Bumrah removed Usman Khawaja (13)
-India were 180 all-out in 44.1 overs

- Starc provided the breakthrough again by sending back Rahul for 37 off 64 balls
- KL Rahul and Shubman Gill then shared a 69-run partnership
- Mitchell Starc dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal with the first ball of the match
- India have dropped Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin returns
- Rohit Sharma won the toss and India are batting first
- Australia have never lost a pink-ball Test in Adelaide
- India have won three day-night Tests, and their only defeat came against Australia
- For India, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are back in the Playing XI
- KL Rahul will continue to open for India, while Rohit Sharma will slot himself in the middle order
- Scott Boland will replace Josh Hazlewood in Australia's Playing XI
- The last time India played a day-night pink-ball Test against Australia, they were bowled out for 36.
India vs Australia Live Score: Stumps
India vs Australia Live Score: Three more minutes of play. Ashwin to bowl in what is probably the final over. The over begins with a dot and Ashwin knows if he gets a wicket, it changes the tempo. McSweeney defends the second ball too, dot. The next delivery turns past the batter and Pant grabs it. Close! Then it's defended by McSweeney again. Two more balls to go in this over. Turns again and the wicketkeeper misses, dot ball. Turns again and no bat involved.
One more over given. Final over of the day and Bumrah will do the job. He bags two dots to start off with. Then it's defended again by Labuschagne. Three more balls to go, Kohli is animated as ever. The fourth ball is the slower one, goes past the batter, off cutter for a dot ball. Then the fifth ball is forked out over Bumrah for a single. McSweeney to face the final ball of the day. He jabs it for a dot.
AUS: 86/1 (33), trail by 94 runs
India vs Australia Live Score: Solid over by Bumrah
India vs Australia Live Score: The 29th over starts with a dot and then a single. Then Bumrah bags four consecutive dots. Only one run leaked in this over. About 10 minutes of play left.
AUS: 77/1 (29), trail by 103 runs
India vs Australia Live Score: Massive lbw call
India vs Australia Live Score: Maiden over for Bumrah in the 27th, keeps it tight vs Labuschagne (17*) and McSweeney (31*). Rana begins the 28th with a dot and then sends a ripper to McSweeney, he misses, hits the pads. Massive lbw call, India review, was missing the wickets!
India vs Australia Live Score: Back-to-back fours by McSweeney
India vs Australia Live Score: Four dots by Reddy and McSweeney has had enough. He receives a full ball, around off, snacks it through covers for a four. Makes it back-to-back with another four, through midwicket.
AUS: 66/1 (24), trail by 114 runs
India vs Australia Live Score: AUS get past 50
The 21st over starts with three dots and then McSweeney slams Siraj for a four past point, and AUS get to 50. Then Siraj bags two more dots. Hasn't got a wicket yet and he is done with eight overs.
AUS: 51/1 (21), trail by 125 runs
India vs Australia Live Score: LIGHTS OUT!
India vs Australia Live Score: Incredible scenes at the Adelaide Oval. The floodlights have gone off twice in two overs now, leaving the entire stadium pitch black. The second time it happened, Harshit Rana wasn't pleased. Neither was Bumrah, who had a word with one of the umpires. David Warner, on commentary, sees the funny side: "Well, someone hasn't paid the bills here"
India vs Australia Live Score: DRINKS
India vs Australia Live Score: One hour into the Australian session and the hosts have done well to lose not more that one wicket of Usman Khawaja. India have their tail up though as Australia reach 38/1 after 17 overs.
India vs Australia Live Score: FOUR byes… AGAIN!
India vs Australia Live Score: For the third time, Indian bowlers have given away FOUR byes. Twice Bumrah, once Siraj. It's been tough behind the wicket for Rishabh Pant today thus far. All of them were tough takes, but more than anything, it's the error that cost India McSweeney's wicket that will be pinching him the most.
India vs Australia Live Score: Labuschagne vs Kohli-Bumrah
India vs Australia Live Score: India are trying to get under Marnus' skin. That last over from Jasprit Bumrah saw the India pacer and Marnus get into an animated exchange… more than once. As Ravi Shastri rightly pointed out, 'it's like a boxing match out there'. Labuschagne isn't backing down, either. Almost mutters a 'Come, na' at Bumrah. And Kohli continues to talk away from second slip. It's like a handicap match out there.
India vs Australia Live Score: Kohli chirps away!
India vs Australia Live Score: India are red-hot at the moment, with Harshit Rana getting Marnus Labuschagne almost to play on. Kohli, from second slip is egging the bowler on and directing a few verbal volleys at Australia's No. 3. Marnus isn't in the best of forms, and Virat, India knows that well.
India vs Australia Live Score: WICKET!
India vs Australia Live Score: There he goes! Took 10 overs, but India and Bumrah finally strike. Usman Khawaja edges to slip and Australia have lost their first wicket for 24. India and Bumrah have finally been rewarded for their tireless effort. One was beginning to wonder where that first blow would come from, especially now that the artificial lights had kicked in. Because that's when the pink ball does tricks.
India vs Australia Live Score: Harshit Rana replaces Mohammed Siraj
India vs Australia Live: Well the openers will see that as a target ticked off. They have managed to survive the first spell from at least one of the two new-ball bowlers. But they would also remember just how lethal Harshit Rana was in the first Testand so the grind continues for them. McSweeney is on five off 29 balls, Khawaja on 12 off 25 balls.
Australia 21/0
India vs Australia Live Score: DROPPED! McSweeney gets a second life
India vs Australia Live: Bumrah with his face burried in his hands. The third ball of the seventh over, his fourth, lands on a good length and angles in. McSweeney squared up and it flies behind off his outside edge. Pant dives late to his right but he probably didn't need to. It was going right into the hands of Rohit at first slips. Pant ends up pushing the ball away from Rohit's hands, it hits the Indian captain on the forearm and safe. McSweeney on five off 23 at the end of that over, Khawaja on eight off 19.
Australia 17/0 in 7 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: Some runs at last for Australia
India vs Australia Live: The string of maidens are over. Five runs off the fifth over from Bumrah and then four runs off the sixth. This is real backs-to-the-wall stuff from the Australian openers. Khawaja on eight off 19, McSweeney on one off 17 balls.
India vs Australia Live Score: 3 maidens in a row!
India vs Australia Live: No runs at all for three overs now. Siraj has started off with two consecutive maidens. The slip cordon are chirping away behind the batters as well.
Australia 4/0 in 4 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: Back-to-back maidens from Siraj and Bumrah
India vs Australia Live: All right the whole ground is in shadow now, the sun is still lighting up the sky. It is all quite beautiful actually and it will surely get more beautiful as the evening wears on. And conversely more difficult for the batter as well. Khawaja and McSweeney somehow see off the first over from Siraj and then Bumrah. Khawaja on four off 12, McSweeney yet to get off the mark off six balls.
Australia 4/0 in 3 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: Khawaja gets a four off Bumrah!
India vs Australia Live: Bumrah gets the first two balls to swing away and then brings it in third ball. Khawaja leaves it and it is as tight as it gets, the ball darting in and fizzing over his stumps. Then Khawaja clips Bumrah through square leg for a four. Two dot balls to end the over.
Now Siraj charges in from the other end.
India vs Australia Live Score: Now for the Aussie first innings!
India vs Australia Live: All right, the Indians have a little huddle before breaking out to their respective fielding positions. The lights have taken effect and the shadows are growing as the sun begins to set on this day. Usman Khawaja on strike, and Nathan McSweeney at the other end for Australia. Birthday boy Jasprit Bumrah with the shiny new pink cherry in his hands. Here we go!
India vs Australia Live Score: That's TEA! India 180 all-out
India vs Australia Live:Well Matthew Hayden says in the commentary box that India should've scored 280 odd runs. He says that the ball didn't seam too much and that it remains a good wicket for batting, as Reddy showed. But the fact remains, though, that Australia's batting lineup is woefully out of form and they now have to face Bumrah. The sun is just about starting to set now, there are long shadows being pasted around the stadium. That deadly twlight period is just coming and it will be Bumrah with the ball in his hands during that time. The third session is going to be a humdinger, regardless of which way it goes. So far, though, it has all gone Australia's way.
India vs Australia Live Score: India 180 all-out
India vs Australia Live: Starc finishes with six wickets! Length ball around off, Reddy goes for a big one but it comes off the toe-end of the bat. It goes high up in the rain, breaks a few clouds and catches rain, Head settles under it and keeps his eye on it throughout to complete the catch. Reddy falls for 42 and Starc finishes with figures of 6/48.
India vs Australia Live Score: OUT! Bumrah goes
India vs Australia Live: Captain gets the vice-captain here. It was full around off, makes Bumrah play. He pushes at it, outside edge and catch at first slip.
Bumrah c Khawaja b Cummins 0 (8)
India 176/9 in 43.3 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: Reddy hit on the head
India vs Australia Live:Starc with a fiery short ball fifth ball of the 43rd, Reddy goes for a big pull, misses it entirely and takes it on his badge on the helmet. Starc goes and checks on Reddy before the physios walk out and do the concussion test on him. Change of helmets and good to go. Reddy takes a swing at the last ball straightaway and misses it. Reddy is on 42 off 53, Bumrah on nought off five.
India 176/8 in 43 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: 21 runs off the 42nd over!
India vs Australia Live: Bumrah survives the last two balls from Boland, although he should've originally had to survive just one. That was because Boland overstepped fifth ball to bowl his second no ball of the over. Before that, he had overstepped the fourth ball right after Reddy hit the four and the batters had run two. Boland then goes short outside off and Reddy pulls it over deep midwicket. Lyon was at the boundary, he jumps with his hands up to try and get to the ball, unsucesfull and it is another six. Then the no ball and then Bumrah survives the last two balls. Reddy has raced to 42 in 46 balls.
India 175/8 in 42 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: SIX AND FOUR! Nitish Reddy brings out the T20 stuff!
India vs Australia Live:: Oh Reddy with the shot of the day surely! Boland, breathing fire and all with two wickets in the kitty, goes length, Reddy opens up his stance revers-scoops the delivery for a six over the slip cordon! Then Reddy just swipes Boland to the fine leg boundary for four. Reddy is on 33 off 43 balls.
India 164/8 in 41.3 overs
India vs Australia Live Score: SIX! Reddy brings up India's 150
India vs Australia Live: Well, we've been here before. Once again, Reddy has to squeeze as many runs as he can with the Indian tail and so far, he has done fairly well. He crashes Boland through mid-off last over for four and now, he launches the first ball from Starc in the 41st over extra cover for a six. That takes India past 150 and well, considering what happened in the first Test, Australia's optimism at the moment would be limited to being only a cautious one. They know their rickety top four have to handle Jasprit Bumrah and Co. with the pink ball under the lights very soon.
