19:57 IST:
... DAY 2, SESSION 3 ...
19:47 IST:
There is plenty of enticing action coming our way in the last session of Day 2 and Australia have a great opportunity to stake their claim for a win in this game by taking a bunch of wickets early after the break. India need to believe that Day 2 and Day 3 are the best days to bat in England and will want to use these conditions to set up a fightback even though the Aussie pace bowlers have their tails up. Do join us at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT) to find out how the post-Tea session plays out…
19:46 IST:
Australia would have liked Alex Carey and their skipper Pat Cummins to build a partnership and take them through to Tea but Carey was dismissed two runs short of his half-century ending a 51-run partnership. Nathan Lyon showed some resistance at the crease but saw his stumps shattered and Pat Cummins was the last wicket to fall in his quest to get some quick runs. They would have wanted to post a total above 500 and would be disappointed with their batting effort on Day 2 but what would have worried them more is that there was no help for their pace bowlers early on. They allowed the Indian batters to get off to a good start with some poor deliveries till Cummins produced a peach of a delivery to trap the Indian skipper in front of the stumps. Things got better for them when Scott Boland sent the other opener back to the shed by pegging his off pole back and now find themselves in a commanding position in the game.
19:44 IST:
SESSION SUMMARY - 84 runs, 22.3 overs, 5 wickets. Having done extremely well to bowl their opponents out, India have dug themselves into a hole with the bat! They went into the post-Lunch session with Australia batting on 422 for the loss of 7 wickets and did extremely well to bowl them out within the first hour with 47 runs added to the total. The pace bowlers were not able to get the breakthrough but the introduction of Ravindra Jadeja helped them break the eighth-wicket partnership that was building. Mohammed Siraj cleaned the tail up before drinks could be taken, following which the Indian openers came out to bat showing positive intent. Just when they seemed to be looking comfortable at the wicket, both Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were dismissed in consecutive overs to give the initiative back to the Australians. They now have an uphill task to climb to save this game and will be heavily reliant on Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli to do the bulk of the scoring as they still trail by 432 runs.
