Sat Dec 07 15:13:45 UTC 2024: ## Australia Dominates Day Two of Pink-Ball Test Against India
**Adelaide, Australia –** Australia has seized control of the second Border Gavaskar Trophy Test against India, ending day two with a commanding 29-run lead. After dismissing India for 180 in their first innings, Australia piled on 337 runs in their reply, thanks largely to Travis Head’s sensational century (140) and Marnus Labuschagne’s solid 64. Jasprit Bumrah (4/61) and Mohammed Siraj (4/98) were the pick of the Indian bowlers.
India’s second innings got off to a shaky start, losing wickets regularly. At stumps, they were struggling at 128 for 5, with Rishabh Pant (28*) and Nitish Reddy (15*) at the crease. Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc were particularly effective for Australia, picking up crucial wickets. The Indian batting lineup, apart from Nitish Reddy’s earlier 42-run contribution in the first innings, struggled against the Australian attack.
Earlier in the day, several key Indian batsmen, including Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, failed to deliver significant scores. The impressive performance by Australia leaves India with a mountain to climb on day three. The match is poised for an exciting climax.
