Australia vs India || 2nd Test match|| letest update

IND vs AUS 2nd Test LIVE SCORE: The first day of the Melbourne Test belonged to India. They did lose Mayank Agarwal early to Starc but Shubman Gill has shown splendid poise on debut after getting a reprive very early. Close of day 1: India 36-1 Shubman Gill 28* Cheteshwar Pujara 7* in reply to Australia’s 1st innings total of 195. Ind vs Aus 2nd Test Indian bowlers shine under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy : An inspired Indian bowling unit, led by the menacing Jasprit Bumrah and the crafty Ravichandran Ashwin, steam-rolled Australia for a meagre 195 on a memorable opening day of the second Test here on Saturday. New captain Ajinkya Rahane had a great day in office as he marshalled his resources impressively with debutant Mohammed Siraj (2/40 in 15 overs) repaying the faith shown in him with wickets of Marnus Labuschagne (48) and Cameron Green (12) with the old ball. However, the Test series is increasingly looking like Ashwin’s (3/35 in 24 overs) paradise as he once again made opposition’s best batsman Steve Smith (0) look ordinary, exploiting the turn and bounce that the first day of the MCG track offered. Bumrah (4/56 in 16 overs) was bowling as if it was business as usual, beating the bat and getting those breakthroughs just when it mattered on a pitch that had retained moisture. As it turned out, Rahane didn’t lose a bad toss. The Indian team looked way more galvanised despite being without regular skipper Vurat Kohli, who is on paternity leave. Some great catches were taken and the intent was way more visible. Rahane’s first punt was introducing Ashwin inside the first hour of play after Bumrah had forced Joe Burns (0) to nick one to Rishabh Pant. Ashwin, who varied the pace of his deliveries cleverly got some turn and bounce straightaway as he drew Matthew Wade into coming down the track and skying one for India’s best fielder Ravindra Jadeja to take a well-judged catch running backwards. After one that jumped and turned beating Smith and Pant, Ashwin kept the next a tad straighter and the former Australian skipper’s glance was pouched by Cheteshwar Pujara at leg gully. All this while, Bumrah was beating the bat at the other hand. Interestingly, Rahane didn’t give the debutant a single over before lunch break as he knew that Siraj’s strength is generating pace and movement with semi-new and old ball. Siraj, initially bowled a bit short at Labuschagne and Travis Head (38 off 92 balls) as they added 86 runs for the fourth wicket. It was Bumrah, who provided the post lunch breakthrough with a delivery that held its line and the left-hander’s thick edge was taken by Rahane at gully. Siraj’s maiden wicket was a lucky one as the ball was drifting down the leg-side which Labuschagne tried to whip but Shubman Gill, stationed at backward square leg, snapped it inches off the ground. However, the Hyderabad pacer’s second wicket was a much fuller ball with a hint of inward movement that caught Green plumb in-front. Skipper Tim Paine (13) couldn’t script a rescue act like Adelaide as a classical off-break saw him guide one straight into the hands of Hanuma Vihari at backward square leg. Bumrah didn’t take much time after that as he and Ravindra Jadeja (1/15) polished off the tail in a jiffy. The debutant has found good support from Pujara who has looked solid too. The Aussie bowlers did beat the edge endless times and it was a testing phase indeed. They would have loved if Labuschagne had held on to that chance of Gill. It was the sort of luck India needed today, especially after losing the toss. For now, it’s advantage India and Australia have a lot of work to do on day two to bring the hosts back in the contest. Still a bit in it for the bowlers and we should have another gripping day tomorrow. IND vs AUS 2nd TEST LIVE Commentary and Score 12:37: CLOSE OF DAY ONE: INDIA 36-1 (AUSTRALIA 195) Final over of the day, Hazlewood to Pujara, two patient characters… and the over begins with overthrows and a near run out! Gill was at fault for not accepting a single behind point and forcing Pujara to dive to make his ground. Head’s shy missed the stumps and ran away for a bonus run for India. He might only be on strike reluctantly, but Gill shows excellent intent, defending firmly anything straight and leaving confidently anything that isn’t. (Gill 28, Pujara 7) 12:32: Highlight of second session; Watch 12:11:  6th over: India 15-1 (Gill 11, Pujara 4)  Cummins is into his familiar line and length to Pujara who is typically stoic in the face of what’s being sent his way – accompanied by the sound of the MCG crowd clapping every footstep in the bowler’s run up. Not only does Pujara defend securely, he presents the full face of the bat with sufficient timing to score four excellent runs. Meanwhile, Wade has left the field after suffering that knee injury earlier. 11:49: WICKET!!!!  Starc to Agarwal, out Lbw!! You could see this coming, you really could. Starc was aiming for that front pad and
