IND 164/5 at Stumps (Trail By 310 Runs) | India vs Australia 4th Test 2024 Day 2 Highlights: Steve Smith, Bowlers Keep Australia On Top After Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal's Late Dismissals

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.

OUT! Scott Boland has one more wicket and it is Akash Deep, who has found the fielder! The right-hander got an inside edge with the ball hitting his thigh pad before looping up with Nathan Lyon taking a good catch. Akash Deep c Nathan Lyon b Scott Boland 0(13)

OUT! Scott Boland has dismissed Virat Kohli and India have been dealt with two telling blows in a matter of minutes! Once again, it is a ball outside off-stump that Kohli has edged and Alex Carey takes a simple catch. A massive moment in the game as both set batters have been dismissed. Virat Kohli c Alex Carey b Scott Boland 36(86)

OUT! Yashasvi Jaiswal is run out and it is an unfortunate way for this partnership to end! Both the batters did so well but this time, it was Yashasvi Jaiswal who was running at the non-striker's end after playing the shot but Virat Kohli kept watching the ball. Jaiswal falls for 82, 18 short of what would have been a fine hundred. A dramatic moment in the game. Yashasvi Jaiswal run out (Pat Cummins/Alex Carey) 82(118)

Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal have done well to tackle the Australian bowling and both these players are driving the team forward pretty well with a 75-run partnership. India will want them to continue in the same manner in this final session and ensure no more wickets are lost today.

FIFTY for Yashasvi Jaiswal, his ninth in Test cricket! A very good knock from the youngster and now he will look to make this a bigger one. He has played some delightful shots on both sides of the wicket and he along with Virat Kohli have steadied the ship for India here.

Virat Kohli has joined Yashasvi Jaiswal in the middle and a lot of spotlight will be on him, especially after the incident with Sam Konstas yesterday. Indian fans will be expecting a strong performance from Virat Kohli in this game.

Tea on Day 2! KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal steadied the ship for India after Rohit Sharma's early dismissal but it was the former's wicket at the stroke of tea that has given Australia the upper hand once again. India trail Australia by 423 runs and it will be interesting to see how the last session pans out for both these teams.

OUT! Pat Cummins has struck again and this time, he has dismissed KL Rahul! The right-hander who looked assured during his stay at the crease has been castled and Australia once again have the upper hand. KL Rahul b Pat Cummins 24(42)

KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have kept the scoreboard ticking and both the players look assured at the crease, barring some odd instances of being beaten. These two have been India's most successful pair in this series and will look to emulate what they did in Perth last month.

KL Rahul has joined forces with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the middle and the two will look to ensure that no more wickets are lost at least in this session. India will need a partnership at this stage if they are to remain in this contest.

OUT! Australia have struck early and it is Rohit Sharma who has been dismissed! The Indian captain got into a tangle with the short ball by Pat Cummins and top-edged it with Scott Boland taking a simple catch. Rohit Sharma c Scott Boland b Pat Cummins 3(5)

Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have opened the innings which means that KL Rahul will come in to bat at number three. Mitchell Starc has started with the new ball and already bowled a splendid delivery which beat the bat of Yashasvi Jaiswal as well as missed the stumps.

OUT! Jasprit Bumrah gets his fourth wicket as he traps Nathan Lyon! The umpire raised his finger without any hesitation and Lyon, upon reviewing the call, saw it was 'Umpire's Call' and had to walk back. Australia have finished with a big score here and it will take a massive effort with bat in hand from India if they are to bounce back in the match. Nathan Lyon lbw b Jasprit Bumrah 13(18)

OUT! Akash Deep has got the big wicket of Steve Smith! This is an extremely unfortunate way for the Australian batter to get out! He charged at the ball which got the edge of his bat and struck his leg before going on to trickle towards the stumps with one bail falling off. A good knock comes to an end here and India will now look to wrap up the innings. Steve Smith b Akash Deep 140(197)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja gets one more wicket on Day 2 and this time, he has castled Mitchell Starc! The left-hander missed the ball completely which crashed into the stumps. India have something to cheer for in the early stages of the second session. Mitchell Starc b Ravindra Jadeja 15(36)

LUNCH on Day 2! What a session it has been and Australia have completely dominated proceedings here. Steve Smith and Pat Cummins' partnership took the fight out of India with the visitors looking a bit off-colour and the hosts are clearly on top at the moment with a massive first-innings score already. Pat Cummins missed his half-century by one run but his knock also has made quite an impact. India will need to wrap this innings as soon as possible to stay alive in the contest.

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has broken this big partnership as he dismisses Pat Cummins! The Australian captain, batting on 49*, hit a lofted shot but Nitish Reddy does well to hold onto a good catch. Much like Day 1, it is Ravindra Jadeja who has provided India with the breakthrough but Pat Cummins has departed after causing a big impact on this total. Pat Cummins c Nitish Reddy b Ravindra Jadeja 49(63)
