Aus 127-3 (46 ovs) vs India 180 | Scorecard

India bowlers got the ball to do a lot of talking as the Aussie batters were tested in the first hour of Day 2.

Bumrah picked up over night opener Nathan McSweeney and then had Steve Smith caught behind for early breakthroughs.

But Labuschagne is beginning to find his feet now and India will look to break the partnership before lunch.

Siraj continues, comes around the wicket to Head and he is beaten first ball.

Short ball, Head then gets on his toes and plays it to backward point for a single.

Siraj now comes over the wicket to Labuschagne and he blocks it. He then lets the next one go to the keeper.

Overpitched on the off and Labuschagne gets to the pitch of the ball and punches it through the off side for a four.

He lets the next one go the keeper as 5 runs come off it. Time for drinks now.

Rana continues, he comes around the wicket and after two dots, the middle and leg ball is clipped to the leg side for a single.

Rana comes back over the wicket to Labuschagne who lets the next one go.

Slightly overpitched and Labuschagne times it nicely through covers as he runs three.

Rana around the wicket to Head, slightly wide and the batter slashes the ball to deep point for a single as 5 come off it.

Siraj continues and Head starts the over with a single to deep point.

Siraj then gets one to beat the batter outside his of stump as he gets one to seam and bounce. That was a breath-taking ball and the batter and bowler exchange some sweet nothings.

Two dots later, Labuschagne times the ball to mid-on where Gill puts in a dive, dot ball.

A dot to end the over as just the one comes off it.

Harshit Rana is back in the attack and he starts with a beauty as Labuschagne lets it go the keeper.

The batter then flicks it nicely through mid-wicket for a four!

Another ball on the middle and leg and the batter glances it through square leg for a four.

Nice comeback from the bowler as he leaves it.

Two dots to end the over as 8 come off it.
