India vs Australia Live: Stumps!
That's stumps on the opening day of the second Test between India and Australia. Both Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will carry their bats to the dugout and the hosts will resume at the score of 21 for 0 on Saturday.
Rohit Sharma was given out by umpire but he straightaway reviewed it. The short fine leg had taken the catch after the ball hit Rohit's pad. UltraEdge revealed that the ball didn't touch the bat of Rohit's hands. Good review!
Both the Indian openers -- KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma -- have battle well so far. The ball has kept low at times, but the two have been vigilant to negate the threat so far.
Rohit Sharma gets off the mark on the second ball of the innings. A short ball outside off stump and the India skipper hits it through the backward point region for a four.
India vs Australia Live: WICKET! Australia all out for 263!
Mohammed Shami cleans up Matthew Kuhnemann and that's the end of the Australian innings. They have put up a decent first innings total on the board. For India, Shami starred with four wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin claimed three wickets apiece.
Ravindra Jadeja got the wicket of Peter Handscomb but then the third umpire signalled a no-ball. Jadeja has been bowling too many front foot no-balls ever since his return to international cricket post injury. This is definitely not a good sign for a player of his stature, that too being a spinner.
Mohammed Shami goes right through the gate to clean up Nathan Lyon. Australia are only one wicket away from being bundled out. It was a length delivery with some late movement that went through the gap between bat and pad of Lyon to rattle the stumps.
Another good shot from Nathan Lyon for his second four of the over. It was bowled short by Mohammed Shami and Lyon hit it from the backfoot past the backward point region for a four. A proper cricket shot it was!
That's a good extra cover drive from Nathan Lyon for a four. Mohammed Shami tried to lure him with a fuller ball outside off, but Lyon timed his shot well to get a boundary off it without any risk.
Another one bites the dust! It is quite often that we see Ravindra Jadeja claiming two wickets in one over. He first dismissed set batter Pat Cummins and then went through the gate to clean up new batter Todd Murphy.
India get the much-needed breakthrough. Ravindra Jadeja has trapped Pat Cummins plumb in front of the stumps. Given the Australian skipper send the umpire's decision upstairs, he will also take one review with himself.
A single and there is the fifty for Peter Handscomb. It comes off 110 balls, and more than Handscomb, it is Australia that needed that innings as the match was slipping out of their hands when they were reduced to 168 for 6.
Peter Handscomb gets an outside edge on the bowling of Axar Patel and the ball runs away for a four. The partnership between him and Pat Cummins for the seventh wicket is now of 45 runs.
A single from Pat Cummins and Australia have reached to 200 runs at the loss of six wickets. Both Mohammed Shami and Axar Patel have bowled really well in the third session so far to continue to keep Australia under pressure.
It's tea on first day. Australia scored 105 runs in the session while they lost three wickets. Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins have added 31 runs for the seventh wicket so far.
A clear inside edge from the bat of Pat Cummins but India goes for an LBW referral. Ravichandran Ashwin and skipper Rohit Sharma only met disappointment.
India vs Australia LIVE: Pat Cummins Dealing in Sixes!
Pat Cummins has taken the aggressive approach of dealing with Indian spinners. He has already hit two sixes against Ravichandran Ashwin. The off-spinner might have to change his strategy a little.
Peter Handscomb and Pat Cummins have a huge task in front of them if they are to post a respectable total on the board. India’s spin-twins still remain in charge
Ravichandran Ashwin has dismissed Alex Carey. You can't blame the batter much as it was literally an unplayable delivery. The ball took a sharp turn after pitching around good length region. It took the edge of Carey's willow and Virat Kohli took a good catch at first slip.
You live by the sword, you die by it! The sweep shots were really helpful for Usman Khawaja thus far, but not this time at least. He got a boundary on the previous ball through a reverse sweep. Just when he went for another similar shot in the follow up, Ravindra Jadeja bowled it well down the leg side and the batter eventually hit it towards point in air. And... KL Rahul picked a blinder there to see Khawaja depart for 81.
Peter Handsomb uses the depth of the crease beautifully to score a boundary on the off side. The partnership between him and Usman Khawaja has now crossed the 50-run mark. This is a good comeback from Australia.
A four from the bat of Usman Khawaja and Australia have crossed the 150-run mark. They have made a good recovery after getting four down. The duo of Khawaja and Peter Handscomb have added 45 runs for the fifth wicket so far.
Mohammed Shami has got the wicket of Travis Head and Australia are four down. Head could have left the delivery well outside off stump but decided to go for it and paid the price. KL Rahul took a sharp catch at slip.
Good use of feet from David Warner. He danced down the track and hit R Ashwin's delivery over the long-off for a six. This is good batting from the Aussie.
It's Lunch on Day 1 of the ongoing second Test between India and Australia in New Delhi. The guests started on a solid note after opting to bat, but Ravichandran Ashwin's twin strikes, of late, helped India bounce back in the game. Usman Khawaja (50 not out) will be the key for Australia in the second session.
Australia have scored two consecutive fours soon after the wicket of David Warner. While the first one came through a reverse sweep hit by Usman Khawaja, the second one came as a bye as the turning delivery beat everyone, including the wicketkeeper.
Finally!!! Here is the much-needed brekathrough for India. Mohammed Shami gets rid of David Warner with a ripper. It was bowled at good length outside off stump. The ball pitched and swung away from Warner to take his outside edge. KS Bharat comfortably collected the ball behind the stumps. Warner departed for 15 runs.
Usman Khawaja has been lucky in this innings so far. This time, he had almost chopped a Mohammed Siraj delivery on his stumps but the ball missed the sticks and rather ran for a four. Poor luck for Indian pacers so far!
It was a tough catch to be honest and Shreyas Iyer failed to take it. Usman Khawaja got an inside edge of his bat on the bowling of R Ashwin. Iyer, who was stationed at short leg, got the ball at a really low height and thus failed to hold on to it.
Tad short from Mohammed Siraj and outside off stump. David Warner hit it for a beautiful shot from the cover region for a four. It's his first boundary of the match.
Warner gets a band-aid wrapped around his left elbow, the area that got hurt and we are all set to resume now. Oh! It's another bouncer from Mohammed Siraj in the follow up. We have some good contest going on here in Delhi!
No wicket for pacers in the first six overs and that prompts captain Rohit Sharma to introduce spin. Ravichandran Ashwin starts against David Warner. Here we go!
Poor luck for India! Usman Khawaja went for a drive well away from his body and got an outside edge. To the batter's good luck, the ball flew through the vacant third slip region and ran for a four.
Down the leg side from Mohammed Shami and he gets the punishment from Usman Khawaja. It is the second four from the Aussie opener's bat in the ongoing innings. He is looking more comfortable than David Warner at the crease.
