Aus 176-2 (53 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Smith and Labuschagne look quite settled as they pick three singles off Jadeja's 11th over.

Spin from both ends as Washington Sundar comes into the attack to bowl the final over of the session.

Smith defends the first two balls before he picks a single to midwicket. Sundar from round the wicket gets the ball to go straight with the arm to beat Labuschagne on the outside edge.

He uses his feet to get to the pitch and drive the spinner straight back past mid-off for a four and hits the last ball to the fielder.

Australia have done well to reach 176/2 in 53 overs at the tea break on Day 2.

Labuschagne has looked solid to score 44 from 109 balls, while Smith has made 10.

Khawaja was the only wicket to fall, miscuing the pull shot off Bumrah, to be dismissed for 57.

Australia did well to score 64 runs in 28 overs in a stark contrast to the first session when Konstas's sizzling strokeplay saw them 112 runs in 25 overs.
