**Melbourne, Australia** – Australia ended Day 2 of the fourth test match against India with a commanding lead. Resuming at 6/311, the hosts were bowled out for 474, thanks largely to a significant contribution from Steve Smith. Captain Pat Cummins narrowly missed a half-century.
India’s response saw a strong partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, but the team ended the day at 164/5 after 46 overs. Jaiswal played a substantial innings, but several key Indian batsmen, including Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, failed to make significant scores.
Day one saw four Australian batsmen score fifties, establishing a strong foundation for their innings. The match continues tomorrow. Further details on individual player performances and live scores are available through various sports news outlets.
