Australian pace bowler Pat Cummins performed superbly in the opening session of the Day 2 to dismiss Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara. Cummins dismissed debutant Gill with a full and wide delivery and he claimed the wicket of Pujara for 17 with that nagging fourth-stump line. Tim Paine grabbed a good catch to dismiss Pujara. The game is poised in balance and India need a good partnership to seize the command once again.

India playing 11: Mayank Agarwal, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah,

Australia playing 11: Joe Burns, Mathew Wade, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathon Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.
