Okay guys, that is it from Day 2 of India vs India A simulation match. Do join us tomorrow for the final day of action.

Gill got hurt while fielding on the second day of the intra-squad match simulation. He was seen in considerable pain and immediately left the field for further scans, said PTI in a report. It added that according to a BCCI source privy to the development, Gill indeed fractured his left thumb and with less than a week left for the Test to start, it will be near impossible for the stylish right-hander to get fit in time for the opening match.

A lot of catches went behind the stumps on Day 2 of the ongoing India vs India A simulation match. The information was shared by journalist Bharat Sundaresan on social media. This means that the batters have struggled on the WACA pitch today as well.

According to a post by RevSportz, Gill will be assessed for three days before taking a final call. A Times Of India report quoting sources said, "Yes, Shubman Gill is injured but it is too early to rule him out of the opening Test. The medical team is keeping a close watch on him."

Massive blow for India, it seems. According to posts from journalist Gaurav Gupta from Times of India, Shubman Gill has hurt his finger while fielding in the practice match. According to the posts, Gill got injured while attempting a catch in the slips. The situation is such that he may be out of the first Test in Perth.

According to Revsportz, Ruturaj Gaikwad hit four sixes - 2 against Ashwin, 1 off Manav Sutar and Harshit Rana. He made way from Sarfaraz Khan after playing for more than an hour

Meanwhile, former Australian Test captain Tim Paine is unhappy with Gautam Gambhir's demeanour.

“I don’t love it. It’s not a good sign I think, because all he was asked was a very simple question. I think he’s maybe looking at Ricky still as someone he’s playing against, but Ricky is a commentator now - he’s paid to give an opinion, and his opinion was spot on,” he said.

According to reporters present at the venue, Ruturaj Gaikwad is putting up an aggressive stance. He hit Harshit Rana for six. he is also using the short ball ploy and has been impressive 

Earlier, there were reports that Virat Kohli went for scans after getting hit. Also, KL Rahul suffered a blow on his elbow on Friday during India's match simulation at the WACA Ground

Earlier on Friday, Jaiswal showcased aggression with a belligerent drive, but his intent was curtailed when he edged a ball to the second slip--a recurring theme during the session.

According to reporters present in Perth, one of the batters has departed after chasing a delivery at the off-stump.

According to the reporters present, Jasprit Bumrah bowled an opening spell with Harshit Rana. On the other hand, Abhimanyu Easwaran and Devdutt Padikkal are opening

We are less than a week away from Perth Test and India are putting their best foot forward. India need to beat Australia 4-0 in order to qualify for the World Test Championship without depending on other teams' result. 

Hello and welcome to the live updates of the second day of the practice match between India and India A.
