India vs Australia LIVE Score, 2nd Test Pink Ball Match Day 2: Rohit Sharma Ecstatic As Jasprit Bumrah Magic Stuns Nathan McSweeney, Australia 2 Down

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: OUT

OUT!!!! AND JASPRIT BUMRAH DOES IT!!!! Bumrah is just the biggest savior for India as he provides them with another breakthrough. This time, Bumrah dismisses Nathan McSweeney for 39. In-angling short of a good length ball that straightens ever so lightly. Good bounce on it as well and McSweeney gets squared up as he defends from the crease. An audible outside edge and Rishabh Pant gobbles it up with ease. Second wicket gone for Australia. 

AUS 91/2 (36.1 overs)

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: Rohit turns down Siraj’s request

WOAH!!! Mohammed Siraj strikes on the pads of Marnus Labuschagne and appeals for LBW. The on-field umpire signals not-out, stating that the ball had hit the bat first. Siraj confidently moves towards skipper Rohit Sharma and asks for the DRS but he turns down the bowler’s request, leaving him disappointed. 

AUS 91/1 (35.4 overs)

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: Rohit Sharma’s changed strategy

In a surprising turn of events, India skipper Rohit Sharma hands over the ball to Mohammed Siraj and asks him to bowl the first over of the day. This is a good strategy as he is keeping his premium bowler Jasprit Bumrah for later. India need to scalp a wicket at the earliest, in order to bounce back in the game. Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne are standing solid for Australia. 

AUS 90/1 (34 overs)

On the other hand, Mohammed Siraj will be bowling the first over of the day for the visitors as India eye some quick wickets. 

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1, Live: Pitch report

“The sun is out and there’s a nice breeze blowing. There’s still a bit of grass there, not as green as yesterday. Indians will be looking to take advantage of it and take advantage of the breeze as well. Australians would have used the roller, so the effect of the roller will be there for half an hour or 45 minutes. It still has a lot of live grass on it, it’s actually quite spongy. Has started to crack a little bit. This is a very different day.”

Opting to bat, India had it under control at 69 for one before they lost their way to settle for 180 all out at stroke of dinner. A fearless Nitish Reddy (42 off 54) was the sole man responsible for taking his team past the 150-run mark, adding valuable runs with the lower-order.
