Day 2 of the IND vs AUS 2nd Test 2024 has been all about hosts Australia, who have are on the cusp of a famous victory, having come into the Test battered and blued. Firstly, Travis Head made merry with the bat, scoring an enterprising 140, which is the fastest in any day-night Test, and then the Australian bowlers made life difficult for Indian batters in the final hour of play. Both Scott Boland and Pat Cummins claimed two wickets apiece to ensure India go-to stumps with half their side back in the pavilion.Ā
That's it, end of play on Day 2, where Australia have managed to take control of the Test, having downed India's five wickets already in the second-innings. India will need to bat out of their skin if they want to make a contest of this encounter.Ā

OUT!Ā Pat Cummins gets his counterpart as Rohit Sharma's poor form continues. Rohit was late into the shot and found his off-stump get hit by a splendid ball from Cummins. India are in tatters here.Ā Rohit Sharma b Pat Cummins 6(15)
OUT! Another Indian batter bites the dust. Shubman Gill, who looked solid, got an unplayable delivery from Mitchell Starc, that rattled the batter's stumps. With the new Pink-Ball and with the wind behind his back, Starc and other Australian bowlers are the most lethal.Ā Shubman Gill b Mitchell Starc 28(30)
OUT!Ā Scott Boland gets the big fish. Virat Kohli is dismissed for 11 after adding 24 runs with Shubman Gill. Once again, Kohli went for the forward plunge and ended up giving a simple catch to the wicketkeeper.Ā Ā Virat Kohli c Carey b Scott Boland 11(21)
This has been an engaging session of play for both sides, as India despite losing wickets have kept their run-rate on the higher side, while Australian bowlers have ensured that India does not go into stumps with their heads held high. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill will need to survive the last hour of play.Ā
OUT! Scott Boland cannot do anything wrong in a Pink-Ball Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who looked to get his form back, perishes trying to defend the ball, which caught the outside edge.Ā Yashasvi Jaiswal c Carey b Boland 24(31)

India won the toss and opted to bat first considering batting in the twilight session against the pink ball can be difficult. They suffered a blow straight up as last game's centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed in the first ball by Mitchell Starc. Despite Shubman Gill and KL Rahul's fighting knocks, India suffered a collapse and got bowled out for 180. They reached a rather considerable total riding on the quickfire knock from Nitish Kumar Reddy. In a contrasting approach to the last game, Australia batted rather cautiously against the Indian bowlers and ended the day on 86/1 with the loss of only Usman Khawaja. India will need to dismiss the Australia batters quickly before they get a significant lead to get back into the game.Ā Mohammed Siraj Throws Ball at Marnus Labuschagne In Anger After Australian Batter Pulls Out Late From Batting Stance During IND vs AUS 2nd Test 2024 (Watch Video).
