STUMPS on Day 2! Another exciting day comes to an end with Australia on top here. Steve Smith scored a majestic 140 to help Australia score 474 in their first innings. His 34th Test century was also his 11th against India which made him the batter with most Test hundreds against India. The bowlers then followed it up with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul being dismissed in one session. But Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal then joined forces to stage a big partnership, worth 102 runs before a mix-up between the two caused Yashasvi Jaiswal to be run out. Virat Kohli, who batted well for his 36, soon made his way back to the hut with Scott Boland being the one to dismiss him. Boland struck again to remove Akash Deep and left India reeling at 164/5. India are on the back foot once again and need a massive performance with bat from here on to come close to Australia's total as they still trail by 310 runs.
