Shardul Thakur Takes 3 But Australia A Have India A on The Mat

India A bowlers frittered away the initial advantage with hosts Australia A's middle-order putting up a collective performance to reach a healthy 319 for five at stumps in Brisbane on the second day of the second 'Test' on Friday. After dismissing India A on their overnight score of 169, Australia A were reduced to 11 for 2 within first five overs but Hilton Cartwright batted responsibly to remain unbeaten on 99 as the home team cruised to a commendable 150-run lead by the end of the day's play. Seamers Shardul Thakur (3/71) and Hardik Pandya (1/39) along with off-spinner Jayant Yadav (1/80) took the Australia A wickets. (Video courtesy: Cricket Australia)
