Sun Jan 05 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Low Scores Mark Day Two of Sydney Test
**Sydney, Australia –** Day two of the fourth and final Test between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) witnessed a rare feat: low scores mirroring a match from nearly half a century ago.
India, winning the toss and batting first, managed only 185 runs in their first innings. Australia, in response, were bowled out for 181, giving India a slender four-run lead. This marked only the second time in the last 70 years that both first innings at the SCG finished under 200 runs. The last instance occurred during the 1979-80 Ashes series, when England scored 123 and Australia 145 in their respective first innings.
Resuming their second innings on day two, India reached 141/6 at stumps, with Rishabh Pant top-scoring with a gritty 61. India’s playing XI comprised: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Prasidh Krishna, Jasprit Bumrah (capt.), and Mohammed Siraj. The match continues.
