**Perth, Australia** – India continued their dominance over Australia in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, bowling out the hosts for a paltry 104 runs on Day 2 before launching a strong reply. After dismissing Australia for their lowest ever Test total in Perth, India’s opening batsmen, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, steadied the ship, forging a century partnership. Jaiswal, who was dismissed for a duck in the first innings, made amends with a well-deserved fifty. Mitchell Starc offered the lone resistance for Australia with a determined 26 off 112 balls. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana were the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming key wickets. India’s impressive start to their second innings leaves them firmly in control of the match.
