November 23, 2024

Ind 29-0 (11 ovs) & 150 vs Aus 104 | Scorecard

The pitch doesn't look as threatening as the first day with both Indian openers looking quite settled.

India have stretched the lead to 73 runs.

Cummins keeping it wide of the stumps as Rahul happy to not go chasing and plays out a maiden over.

Jaiswal also cautious as the two openers look to play out the new ball. He keeps out the first five balls from Hazlewood before he is beaten by the last ball, as it moves away enough to go past the edge.

Australia are looking to dry up the runs and build some pressure, by bowling in the channel just outside the off-stump.

Australia playing on India's patience as they send down three maiden overs in a row.

Rahul looks to open the face of the bat as the ball goes off the edge but it has bounced before reaching Steve Smith at second slip.

He pulls the fourth ball along the ground towards deep square leg for a single but Jaiswal ducks under the short ball.
