In reply, India started their innings on a disastrous note, with captain Rohit Sharma failing again. Cummins had Sharma dismiss off a pull shot, which the Indian batter is known for. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul looked to snitch a long stand, but the latter got knocked over on 24 off Pat Cummins. However, Kohli and Jaiswal held the fort for India adding 102 runs, before a mixup cost the opener his wicket after a well-made 82.
Kohli, too, gave his wicket away in a similar fashion after resisting deliveries out the off-stump line as pacer Scott Boland provided Australia with a crucial breakthrough. Nightwatchman Akash Depp also lasted merely 13 balls as Boland claimed his second wicket. India will bank on Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja to get the visitors out of the ditch when Day 3 resumes.
