India vs Australia HIGHLIGHTS, 2nd Test Day 2: Head, bowlers put Australia in winning position

IND vs AUS Highlights: Travis Head scored blistering 140 to hand Australia 157 runs lead in the first innings

Australia have tightened thier grip on the second Test here at Adelaide Oval, as after replying strongly with 337 to India's first innings scoore of 180, they have reduced the visitors to 128 for 5 in the second innings. Australia still have 29 runs lead based on first innings total and will look to finish the match early on Sunday, December 8, with two days to spare.  Earlier, Travis Head played a magnificent innings, scoring 140 runs off 141 balls, while Marnus Labuschagne made a solid 64 from 126 balls as Australia gained a 157-run lead over India on day two of the pink-ball Test on Saturday. Australia finished their first innings at 337, replying to India’s 180.  

Head, who was dropped twice during his innings, capitalized on the chances given to him, playing an aggressive knock in front of his home crowd. His century included 17 boundaries and four sixes, as he played a key role in taking the game further away from India. Siraj eventually ended his explosive innings.

 

However, India fought back in the final stages of the Australian innings. Jasprit Bumrah (4/61) and Mohammed Siraj (4/98) were the standout bowlers for India, taking all eight Australian wickets. Bumrah dismissed Pat Cummins on the last ball before lunch, while Siraj struck right after the break, removing Mitchell Starc with the first delivery and later sending back Scott Boland to wrap up Australia’s innings. The Indian bowlers took the final five wickets for just 55 runs to end Aussie innings on 337, with 157 runs lead.  In reply, India lost five wickets on just 128 by the end of the day and are still tariling by 29 runs. They will start day 3 with Rishabh Pant (28) and Nistish Reddy (15) still at crease.  India scorecard at stumps day 2:
