India lead by 218 runs
Right then, with three days still to play, India find themselves firmly in the driver’s seat and their objective will be to effectively bat Australia out of the contest. Conditions on Day 3 are expected to feature slightly higher temperatures compared to Day 2, which could bake the pitch further. As the day progresses, the visible cracks might widen, making batting increasingly challenging. Australia will be mindful of the fact that in recent Tests, India have been prone to collapses. They will believe that if they can break this stand early, they can build on it and claw their way back into the game. An exciting day lies ahead, with the first ball on Day 3 set for 2.20 am GMT but as always our build-up will begin much earlier. See you then. Cheers!
Chances were few and far between, but Australia did manage to create a couple of opportunities. One came in the form of a tough catch of Jaiswal, which was put down by Usman Khawaja. On the very next ball, a potential run-out chance was missed, as a wayward throw from Steven Smith failed to find Rahul in trouble. These moments of missed chances were pivotal, and as the day wore on, India capitalized on them to end the day with a lead of 218 runs. To be fair, Pat Cummins and Co. could consider themselves unlucky, as they tried everything and managed to beat the bat on quite a few occasions, but the breakthrough eluded them.
Starc and Hazlewood’s resilience raised questions about whether the softer, older ball or an easing pitch was making batting more manageable. The answer came soon enough as Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul took to the crease. They handled the new ball with relative comfort, facing far less lateral movement than what was evident on the first morning. As the scoreboard reflects, sessions 2 and 3 were bossed by India, with the Australian bowlers struggling to make inroads.
Australia began the day trailing by 83 runs with three wickets in hand, relying on Alex Carey to narrow the deficit. However, Jasprit Bumrah struck with his first ball, dismissing Carey and completing his 11th Test five-wicket haul. India seemed set to wrap things up quickly, but Mitchell Starc showed remarkable grit, facing 112 balls. He and Josh Hazlewood formed the innings’ highest partnership, adding 25 runs and frustrating the bowlers. The visitors eventually broke through, taking a 46-run lead.
Well, what a stark contrast from the drama of Day 1! The second day unfolded with much more serenity, but at the end of it, India have firmly kept their grip on the Test. Few would have anticipated such a turnaround after the chaos of the opening day, where 17 wickets tumbled on a lively, green surface. In comparison, only three wickets fell on Day 2, as the pitch began to show signs of easing out, making batting a relatively more manageable task.

Marsh begins from over the stumps, angles it across off with some deviation. Jaiswal lets it pass.
Drinks! Time for another hydration break, probably the last one of the second day. Well, it won't be an exaggeration to say that the Indian openers have bossed up the proceedings so far. Given that the pitch has dried up with no movement whatsoever, things have eased up a bit from the batters' perspective. Australian bowlers have sweated hard for that breakthrough but haven't got one as yet. Josh Hazlewood of all, has looked the most threatening and close to snagging one as he just hasn't given away anything off his ten overs. Lyon is being utilized from one end for quite a while and Australia would expect him to create that inroad as one just might bring two as they say. Just as we say, he gets replaced in the attack by Mitchell Marsh.

Mitchell Starc To Yashasvi Jaiswal
Goes past the bat! Back of a length, outside off, moves away off the wicket, Jaiswal nearly fiddles at the delivery away from his body. Tries to take his bat away from the line of the ball but it is too late by then as the ball whistles past the outside edge.

Mitchell Starc To Yashasvi Jaiswal
A stifled appeal there from Starc for LBW! Full and onto middle, Jaiswal misses his flick and wears it on the pads. There's a small discussion between the keeper and Pat Cummins and they eventually turn down the decision to review. Seemed to be going down leg.

BUZZERS!!! A mix-up of all sorts! Indecision by the batters between the wickets, followed by a wayward throw at the bowler's end. A direct hit and KL Rahul was well gone for miles. Tossed up, around off, Yashasvi Jaiswal leans on and pats it to the cover-point region. Steven Smith scoots to his left and chases the ball. KL Rahul is already halfway as he thinks a single is on but gets a sharp sendback by Yashasvi Jaiswal. KL obeys and retreats back to the bowling end. Meanwhile, Smith picks, turns around and throws it away from the stumps at the bowler's end, allowing Rahul to get home safely.

Did that carry? The reaction from Starc suggests so. Starc dishes it out on a length, on off, Jaiswal goes for the big booming drive. Gets an outside edge that goes low towards first slip and it just about carries to Usman Khawaja there. Khawaja lets the ball come to him instead of going towards the ball. He hangs back and the ball catches his fingertips on the half-volley.

Nathan Lyon To KL Rahul
Oh, what happened there? Drifting down leg, on a nagging length, Rahul misses the tickle as the ball brushes his pads. The ball goes off the keeper's pads towards short leg. The short leg fielder grabs it cleanly and has a shy at the batting end to catch Rahul by surprise but the batter had his back leg grounded inside the crease when the ball went past the stumps. The ball rolls towards deep point, allowing a leg bye to be taken. Marnus Labuschagne puts a slide in the deep to his left and seems to have hurt himself as his knee gets stuck in the turf while sliding. Marnus seems to be walking fine as he gets back up but he is walking off the field for some treatment.

Welcome back for the final session. The umpires and players are punctual and the Australian fielders take their positions. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul to resume their innings for India. And it will be Pat Cummins to kick off the final session with the ball. Here we go...
... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...
Did the movement just die off the pitch or did the batters apply themselves well? Can say, both, for now, at least. The sudden metamorphosis in the conditions has been striking - from yesterday's seam-bowling haven to today's more balanced surface with the ball not seaming much. The opening pair's unbroken partnership has steadily expanded India's lead to 130 runs, presenting a stark contrast to the clatter of wickets witnessed on day one. With the final session left in Day 2, can Australia turn around its fortunes and strike a roaring comeback? Or will India manage to get a comfortable lead? Join us for the post-Tea session which starts at 7.20 am GMT. Stay tuned.
This shift in conditions was first hinted at during Australia's stubborn last-wicket partnership, and the trend has continued with India's openers showing remarkable resilience. For India, Yashasvi Jaiswal who perished on a duck, redeemed himself with a solid unbeaten knock while KL Rahul carried on the momentum in the second innings as well. Australia also utilized Nathan Lyon, but there was no turn whatsoever and Labuschange was also used towards the end of the session but they didn't get much assistance as the pitch eased out with the progression.
With the pitch easing up a bit to bat on, the Indian openers began on a positive note. KL Rahul and Jaiswal both effectively rotated the strike and kept the scorecard ticking. Although there was some lateral movement on offer for the seamers with the new ball, they caused minimal trouble and were negotiated with caution early on. The Australian pace attack, despite cycling through all their seamers within the first ten overs in search of a breakthrough, couldn't replicate the opening day's dominance.
TEA, DAY 2 - Session Summary - 26 overs, 84 runs, 0 wickets. A positive session for India as they go unblemished in the post-Lunch session after beginning their innings with a lead of 46 runs. On the other hand, the Australian bowlers would be feeling a bit exasperated as they have used all their bowling resources, but haven't broken through as yet. With this, India have led three sessions so far versus Australia dominating two.

Drinks break! It's been a steady and solid start for India with the lead currently at 81 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul have done well in handling the new ball with patience and resolve, but the job is far from over as they will need to keep up their focus. On the flip side, Australia have not had much going for them so far and will be desperate for a breakthrough to lift their spirits. They will need to stay disciplined with their lines and lengths and keep probing to create opportunities. Also, a change in bowling now. Mitchell Marsh is brought into the attack, he replaces Mitchell Starc.
