India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Highlights: Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli flop as IND 128/5 at stumps, trail by 29 runs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Well, how about it! He had not been playing well through covers throughout the time that he was not getting runs. Now he gets to his fifty with a comfortable push through covers off the last ball of the 49th from Rana. He has got to 50 in 114 balls.

Australia 142/3

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Labuschagne gets off strike second ball. Head defends the third to mid-on and then he smashes the fourth over long off for a six. Big appeal for LBW off the next ball though, it was flat and angling towards the pads. The umpire says no and Rohit decides against reviewing it. Head is on 19 off 28 at the end of that over, Labuschagne on strike to Rana next over on 47 off 109.

Australia 138/3 in 48 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: So, the first over of spin in this innings comes in the 48th. Labuschagne will be on strike, he is on 46 off 107. Travis Head at the other end on 13 off 24. Slip and short leg in place for Ashwin.

Australia 131/3 in 47 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Well who can tell who is ahead in this first session of Day 2. Labuschagne has clearly found his groove here, he meets Siraj's fifth ball of the 46th over with a wonderful checked cover drive for four. He is on 46 off 107 at the end of that over while Head is on nine off 18. This is an ominous stand.

Australia 127/3 in 46 overs, trail by 53 runs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Siraj gives a couple of death stares to Labuschagne as he continues his increasingly desperate search for a wicket. Labuschagne, meanwhile, is looking increasingly good, something Indians won't be happy about one bit. He ends the 44th over on 39 off 101 balls.

Australia 117/3 in 44 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: He is starting to look very good indeed, which is very ominous for India. Rana's second delivery is clipped beautifully through midwicket for four. The next is sent through square leg for another four. He gets a thick inside edge onto his pads off the last ball but looked pretty confident otherwise.

Australia 116/3 in 43 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: So just a short early spell for Bumrah, can't possibly be a change of ends as he has done so well thus far. Harshit Rana walks in, he will be bowling to Labuschagne on 31 off 90, he has the very popular Travis Head at the other end on five off 11.

Australia 108/3 in 42 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Oh Smith gets a little tickle as the ball goes down the leg side and wicketkeeper takes it! Horrible way for a batter to be dismissed. Bumrah angled it down, there was no leg slip and so Smith may have thought that's an easy boundary. But he doesn't get enough bat on it. Pant does well to dive to his left and take the catch. What a start this is for India.

Smith c Pant b Bumrah 2 (11)

Australia 103/3 in 40.1 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Now that is not something you get to see too often. Siraj overpitches the last ball of the 40th, Labuschagne drives it down past the bowler, Rana stops the ball just before it reaches the boundary but the batters run four anyhow. In fact they were even pondering a fifth run. That takes Australia to 100.

Australia 103/2 in 40 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Siraj starts the 38th over with a no-ball. That is the 10th time a bowler has overstepped in this match. After that, nothing. Siraj continues to make Labuschagne play the next two balls. The batter leaves the third and that was quite a tight one at that, going just wide of off as it kept honing in.

Australia 96/2

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Make 'em play and make 'em pay! India go back to the tactics that won them the first Test and it has worked for them so far. Bumrah angles the first ball of the 37th in from wide of the crease, McSweeney has no choice but to play. It straightens slightly and that does it for the batter, edge and the wicketkeeper.

McSweeney c Pant b Bumrah 39 (109)

Australia 91/2 in 36.1 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Well, wonder what the match referee will think about that! The Indians sticking to the stumps which is probably better news overall for the visitors though, the Australians have hardly been able to leave anything so far today. Anyhow, the fourth ball of the 36th seems to have hit Labuschagne on the pads. The Indians appeal, Siraj deigns to turn around and look at the umpire only after he has crossed the stumps at the striker's end. The Indians don't review the decision, some can be heard saying there was a loud noise of an inside edge. Replays show that there indeed was one and the boos that went around the ground when Siraj started walking back to his mark should tell you what kind of a crowd the Indians are getting today. Not the friendly kind.

Australia 91/1 in 36 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: McSweeney kept pinned to the crease. Bumrah kept it on off stump throughout the over and then darts one into the batter's thigh guard last ball. McSweeney remains on 39 off 108, Labuschagne on 23 off 68 balls.

Australia 90/1 in 35 overs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Well Mohammed Siraj kept it largely full and on the stumps throughout that first over, something the Indians rarely did yesterday. The first delivery was full on off and Labuschagne whips it away to run three. The second ball went over off and was left by McSweeney, the next three balls were all top of off and made McSweeney play, albeit quite solidly. The last ball is angled into middle stump, McSweeney sends it past mid-on for a single. Now Bumrah to bowl the second over of the day, 34th over of the innings.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: All right, enough with the talk, we have some Test cricket to play. Mohammed Siraj to bowl the first over of the day, Jasprit Bumrah bowled the last one yesterday, remember. Ravichandran Ashwin has a word with him as he walks to the top of his run up. Marnus Labuschagne on strike on 20 off 67 balls, Nathan McSweeney at the other end on 38 off 97 balls.

Australia 86/1 in 33 overs, trail by 94 runs

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar on the pitch report today. The first hour is going to be very difficult. It's gonna be all seamers, says Matthew Hayden. Gavaskar says India have to make the batters to play as much as they can.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: We can see that Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin and Nitish Kumar Reddy going through their bowling drills. There was talk of the pitch starting to crack a little bit and so there is a chance of Ashwin making some inroads today.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: That is what assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate had to say after the first day's play. "I thought Australia left very well as well. It seemed to be a trademark of the way they play, those two [McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne, who have put on an unbroken 62 for the second wicket]. They left on length very well. We kind of feel the swing and the seam was a little bit inconsistent which makes it difficult for both parties."

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Nitish Kumar Reddy shot into the limelight under the captaincy of Pat Cummins at SRH. The Australia captain is probably one of the many people who gave Redy the little pushes that is required for a cricketer to reach the level of Test cricket. There is no doubt that there must be some love and friendship between the Aussie captain and the Indian newbie but anybody who didn't know anything about all this context would've never imagined that in their wildest imagination after Cummins' absolutely vicious bouncer at Reddy first ball of the 35th over of the Indian innings. Reddy had pulled out very late, so much so that Cummins ended up bowling the delivery and it hit the batter's willow. The usually unflappable Cummins looked very annoyed by that and he responded by digging in the reloaded first ball at 143kph straight at Reddy's head. The all-rounder seemed ready for it and still couldn't bring his bat up in time, ended up taking it on the elbow.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: India being cheered in grounds around the world is a very familiar sight but that wasn't the case in Adelaide yesterday. There was a sizeable support for India in the stands but the cheers were clearly the loudest whenever the Aussies picked a wicket or their batters survived an appeal. For once, India are dealing with true-blue away conditions, in terms of the pitch and the crowd.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Among the important things to note on Day 1 was the fact that the Indian batters had almost no respite whatsoever. Scott Boland was arguably even more lethal than Starc was in his first spell, just that he didn't get any wickets. But he was rewarded for his efforts either side of Dinner as he sent back Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma. Captain Cummins looked like the easiest of the Aussie pacers to face, until he got one to leap up furiously at Rishabh Pant and sent him back. Cummins seemed to have rediscovered his mojo after that.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: He may not have played Test cricket for nearly seven years but even now, India feels the absence of Hardik Pandya in their lineup. Well, up until the last Test, that is, as Nitish Reddy seems to have done a good job of filling in for him. It would be a surprise if he doesn't become a permanent fixture in this Test side and maybe even surpass Pandya, writes R Kaushik.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Jaiswal telling Starc that his deliveries weren't fast enough was among the iconic moments from the first Test. Starc got the upper hand first ball of this Test as he got it to swing back in on the very first delivery of the pink-ball Test. The big pacer didn't have much to say about that though. "Nice way to start the game. Get one on target and away we go," said Starc.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Well this is how Brett Lee and Mark Waugh broke down the various aspects of Mitchell Starc's dismissal of Virat Kohli yesterday.

India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 2 Live Score: Sunil Gavaskar has said that Virat Kohli's high back lift may be among the technical flaws that's causing him to lose his wicket early in an innings. However, he also gave a reminder that this is a player who has scored truckloads of runs with whatever technique it is that he is using.

"That's what happened in Perth and again over here. I think it is also because of the high back lift. It is so that you can't bring it down in time and let the ball harmlessly pass. But the man has got more than 9000 Test runs batting with the same technique. He has got out twice, so what? I would not be too worried. The man has got 30 hundreds. So he knows how to bat. He was not lucky in Perth and also this time around. There's plenty of time to go in this series," Gavaskar said on Jio Cinema after the first day's play.
