India vs australia 2nd test live cricket score

This is turning out to be some roller-coaster, this India tour of Australia. The ODIs and T20Is were identical with roles reversed. You could say that about the two Tests so far as well. So how will the climax be? Your guess is as good as mine. One thing is for certain, we're in for some more of these high-voltage contests. Expect Australia to be hurt, really hurt, and they will come back all guns blazing. But India are now on cloud nine, sky high on confidence. Should be a lot of fun. On that note, this is Hari Sadanandan signing off, on behalf of Pradeep Krishnamurthy, Vineet Anantharaman and Mukesh. Cheers! Tim Paine | Australia captain: Pretty disappointed. We played some poor cricket, sloppy cricket for a major part of the game. Credit to India, they forced us into mistakes with the bat, ball and also on the field. And when you do that against a quality team, it costs you. But again, need to credit India as they put us under pressure. We have issues with the batting and need to get it sorted. We've seen the temperament that he (Green) showed and as he plays more games, he'll get even better, which is exciting. (On the team plans in coming days) We'll stay together probably although some guys may get released to play BBL games but mostly, we should be together. Ajinkya Rahane | India captain | Player of the Match: Really proud of all the players. Played really well. Want to give credit to the debutants Siraj and Gill, the character they showed after the Adelaide loss w...

Also Read: • • • After Australia took a lead by a solitary run, as India were bowled out for 262 in their first innings, Head attacked to give the visitors’ some quick runs. Giving him company is Marnus Labuschagne at 16 not out. With 13 overs left in the day, Australia opted to send Head as an opener in absence of a concussed David Warner alongside Usman Khawaja. Head made an instant impression, pulling and driving off Mohammed Shami for boundaries, and got a thick outer edge off Ravichandran Ashwin for his third four in five overs. After being heaved over deep mid-wicket by Khawaja, Jadeja struck on the very next ball, as the left-handed batter swept straight to a sharp short leg moving to his left. Labuschagne took on Jadeja, sweeping twice and punching off backfoot to take thr...

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 has shifted to the nation's capital following Team India's resounding victory by an innings and 132 runs against Australia in Nagpur. With Rohit Sharma's men leading the series 1-0, anticipation is high as the second Test is set to take place at the historically spin-friendly Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly known as the Kotla wicket). All eyes will be on India's middle-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara as he makes his 100th Test appearance for the country. Pujara will be hoping to commemorate the momentous occasion with a century. Team India stunned the visiting Kangaroos in the first Test match played in Nagpur, winning by an impressive innings-and-132 runs. India was in complete control from the start, with Rohit Sharma's century and Ravindra Jadeja's remarkable all-round performance providing the foundation for their victory. The Indian innings were further bolstered by Sharma's hundred and Jadeja's outstanding display, which saw him contribute with both bat and ball. The pitch at the Ferozshah Kotla ground is anticipated to be on the drier side. Historically, the track has been known to be slow, which could give batters the opportunity to adjust to the spin off the surface, making it a more comfortable batting experience.

Australia is firmly in control of the ICC World Test Championship match against India, holding a lead of 318 runs with India five wickets down in their first innings. The Australians were bowled out for 469 in their first innings, with Travis Head (163) and Steve Smith (121) putting on a record 285 for the fourth wicket — the highest-ever fourth wicket stand in a Test at The Oval. Facing a daunting total, India were reduced to 4-71 after Rohit Sharma (15), Shubman Gill (13), Cheteshwar Pujara (14) and Virat Kohli (14) all fell cheaply. A 71-run stand between Ravindra Jadeja (48) and Ajinkya Rahane (29 not out) helped steady India until Nathan Lyon (1-4) came on to dismiss his fellow spinner during a vital two-over spell just before the close and leave India with serious work to do to salvage anything from the game. Read more Smith wasted no time in reaching his 31st Test century and third in four matches at The Oval in the first over upon the resumption, while Head followed soon after by passing 150. The Aussies looked set to establish a huge lead at that stage before Head gloved a short ball down the leg side to Bharat. Cameron Green came and went for just 6, but the hammer blow to Australia's chances of batting big came when Smith played on to the first ball of Shardul Thakur's spell for 121. That left Australia 6-387, but minor contributions from Mitch Starc (5) and Pat Cummins (9) helped Alex Carey advance to 48 before he was adjudged LBW attempting to sweep Ravindra J...

Australia have mounted a solid first innings total in the second Test against India, but the visitors still have a long way to go in order to level the series. Usman Khawaja was brilliant at the top of the order, scoring a gritty and aggressive 81 before being dismissed reverse-sweeping, while middle-order batsman Peter Handscomb finished with an unbeaten 72 in an impressive display. However, the pressure on David Warner has continued to mount after a disappointing performance with the bat - and to make matters worse, the experienced opener is struggling with injuries following the Indian fast-bowling barrage. The hosts saw out the final nine overs of the day without losing a wicket, with an on-field decision being overturned by the DRS to save Rohit Sharma.
