Aus 359-6 (96 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Poor delivery from Akash Deep as he drifts down the leg side and Smith glances it fine for a four, to take his score into the 80s.

The next ball swings away but Smith manages to control the steer past the slips for two runs to bring up Australia's 350.

He taps the third ball for a quick single.

Cummins waiting for the short ball as he backs away and ramps Akash Deep over the slips for a four.

Sunil Gavaskar on commentary not happy with Akash Deep's lacklustre bowling on Day 2. 'He has wasted the new ball today,' says the legend.

The next ball is again short but much quicker as Cummins misses the ramp shot this time.

Cummins backs away to hammer the last ball, punching it through the covers for another boundary to make it 15 runs from the over.

The partnership for the seventh wicket has now crossed 50 runs, with Australia scoring 48 runs from the first 10 overs of the day.
