- 15:18 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: Patient knock by KL RahulKL Rahul has been so impressive in this Test match. He showed a tremendous amount of grit for his knock on Day 1 in really seaming conditions. Today, he has been the perfect foil for Jaiswal.Even if Rohit Sharma returns for the second Test, Rahul will likely keep his place in the side, probably in the middle order.IND 171/0 (56)

- 14:58 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: World record for Yashasvi Jaiswal!Most sixes in a calendar year in Tests! That record now belongs to Yashasvi Jaiswal. Big 6, steps out and over long on. 34 for 2024, goes past Brendon McCullum. What a year this has been for Jaiswal. He's up to 87 now.IND 160/0 (52)

- 14:29 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: Jaiswal 6!Commentators curse, I suppose! Just as I talk about the low run rate, Starc offers Jaiswal a ball on the pads and the 22-year-old flicks it up all the way over fine leg for 6! Up to 67 now. Can he bring up a century today?IND 122/0 (46.3)
- 14:20 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: No carry in PerthIn what is a complete contrast to Day 1, there is seemingly no seam and lateral movement in the Perth pitch on Day 2. Edges are not carrying to the slip cordon, and Indian batters are hardly having to deal with any movement. Cruise control for Jaiswal and Rahul at the moment.IND 113/0 (44.4)
- 14:13 (IST)
- 14:09 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: On the pads but down leg!Big LBW appeal by Mitch Starc as he catches Jaiswal on the pads.

- 14:03 (IST)IND vs AUS 1st Test Day 2, LIVE: Suicidal runningOh dear! KL Rahul was almost gone there. No time for a quick single, KL Rahul started dashing up from the non-striker's end.
