Here are the Highlights of 2nd T20 Match between India and Australia straight from the VCA Stadium in Nagpur
- 20:03 (IST)IND vs AUS: Fingers crossed!The umpires are inspecting the conditions out there. The area they are most concerned about is at a wide deep mid on and the ground staff have been focusing on it. Clearly the water from the heavy rain has all pooled in that spot over the last few days and it hasn't dried. Perhaps there was a gap in the covers there.
- 19:57 (IST)IND vs AUS: Groundstaff grinding it outThe groundstaff is doing its best to get the outfield ready for the match. But again, there's only so much you can do when the bowlers' runups have soaked up water that may have seeped through the sheets. Now, we can only wait and hope for the best.
- 19:00 (IST)IND vs AUS: Inspection is underwayThe on-field umpires, KN Ananthapadmanabhan and Nitin Menon, are out in the middle. The fourth umpire has also joined the two, as they take a close look at the conditions in the middle. Meanwhile, the groundstaff is sprinkling some sawdust on one of the wet patches near the boundary line.
- 18:15 (IST)IND vs AUS: Will Bumrah make his comeback?Death bowling has been India's Achilles heel, and the form of Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a concern for the team. There has been talk that Jasprit Bumrah could make his return after recovering from an injury. The star pacer has been bowling in the nets, but it all comes down to whether he is match fit or not.
