Welcome Back – Day 2, Second Session

The action resumes for the second session of Day 2 at the Perth Stadium in this first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test. India wrapped up Australia's innings just before Lunch, gaining a 46-run lead. The visitors will aim to build on this advantage by batting responsibly on a surface that continues to challenge batters.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is under pressure after a duck in the first innings, walks out alongside KL Rahul, who showed some promise earlier. Meanwhile, the Australians, led by skipper Pat Cummins, will look to strike early with the new ball.

Mitchell Starc starts the proceedings for Australia, with a strong attacking field of three slips, a gully, and a short leg in place. Let’s see how the battle unfolds in this crucial session.

Stay tuned for all the updates!

Australia All Out for 104 – India Take Control

The Australian innings came to an end in the first session of Day 2, with the hosts being bowled out for a mere 104 runs, conceding a 46-run deficit. Resuming on their overnight score of 67/7, the morning didn’t start well for Australia as Jasprit Bumrah continued his lethal spell, claiming a brilliant five-for (5/30), his 11th in Test cricket.

The lower order tried to resist, with Mitchell Starc (26)* and Josh Hazlewood frustrating the Indian bowlers with a last-wicket stand. Starc's unbeaten knock was the highest score in the innings, showcasing his grit. However, debutant Harshit Rana (3/48) stepped up to wrap up the tail, taking the final wicket.

India’s bowling unit was phenomenal:

Jasprit Bumrah: 5/30
Harshit Rana: 3/48
Mohammed Siraj: 2/20

Australia trailed India by 46 runs, and the visitors will begin their second innings after the Lunch break. Stay tuned for the afternoon session as India look to capitalize on their lead!

Before Day 2 game Begins, Let’s Look at Day 1 Highlights

What a gripping start to this Test match! Day 1 saw India struggle with the bat, getting bowled out for just 150 runs in 49.4 overs. The Australian bowlers, led by Josh Hazlewood (4/29), Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins, exploited the pitch brilliantly, leaving India on the back foot from the start. Key Indian batters, including Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal, failed to make an impact, while Rishabh Pant (37) and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (41) showed some resistance, but India couldn’t push beyond a modest total.

In reply, Australia found themselves in trouble early, with Jasprit Bumrah (4/17) and Mohammed Siraj (2/15) tearing through the Australian batting lineup. By stumps, Australia were struggling at 67/7, with Alex Carey holding firm at 29*.

With 16 wickets falling on Day 1, it was a bowler’s paradise. As we move into Day 2, India will look to finish off the Australian innings and build a strong lead, while the Aussies will be hoping for a quick recovery. Stay tuned as the action continues!

Summary

India, opting to bat first in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, faced a challenging morning session. The top-order batters struggled against Australia's pace attack led by Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. KL Rahul showed some resistance with 26 runs off 74 balls, but his dismissal, followed by early blows to Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal, left India reeling.

Rishabh Pant's gritty 37 and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy's composed 35 not out added some respectability to the total. However, the disciplined Australian bowling lineup kept striking at regular intervals. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood picked up three wickets each, while Mitchell Marsh contributed with two crucial breakthroughs.

India currently sits at 144/9 at lunch, with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Mohammed Siraj at the crease. Australia's bowlers are well poised to wrap up the innings early in the post-lunch session.

End of the Innings: India All Out for 150

India's decision to bat first has backfired, with the team bundled out for just 150 in 49.4 overs on a spicy Perth pitch. The Indian batters struggled throughout the innings, failing to get any significant partnerships as they succumbed to the Australian bowlers who were spot-on with their lengths and made excellent use of the conditions.

Early in the innings, India was rocked with quick dismissals—Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Devdutt Padikkal (0), and Virat Kohli (5) were sent packing. KL Rahul showed some resistance, contributing 26 before being dismissed just before the lunch break.

Dhruv Jurel (11) and Washington Sundar (4) couldn’t get going, both falling to Mitchell Marsh. Rishabh Pant and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy fought back with a valuable 48-run stand before Pant was dismissed for 37. Debutant Harshit Rana fell cheaply for seven.

Reddy remained calm at the crease, scoring 41, but was eventually dismissed as the last wicket to fall. India was all out for 150, with Josh Hazlewood leading the way with outstanding figures of 4/29. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Marsh chipped in with two wickets each, completing a clinical display from the Australian bowlers.

The pitch offers enough assistance for bowlers who hit the right areas, and the Indian bowlers will now need to use the conditions to their advantage. With the Australian bowlers having done their job, it's now up to their batters to capitalise on the early breakthroughs and put India under pressure.

Tea break is up next, and we’ll be back for the final session of Day 1 in about 20 minutes. Stay tuned!

Ladies and gentlemen, stop what you are doing and watch Pant going crazy in Perth. That is a ridiculous stroke, especially when your team is at 108/6. Unbelievable! These are things that can only be done by the Indian wicketkeeper batter.

Caught in the slips! Mitchell Marsh strikes right after the lunch break, and his teammates are fired up. India is now in trouble with half their side back in the pavilion for just 59 runs.

27.5 - Mitchell Marsh to Dhruv Jurel (WICKET!)
Marsh delivers a beauty! A good-length ball in the off-stump channel, moving away sharply. Jurel, playing from the crease with an angled bat, edges it straight to the slip cordon. Marsh in Perth is unstoppable!

Nov 22, 2024, 12:17 pm IST

Welcome back to the afternoon session! Can India bounce back in this Test? Rishabh Pant and Dhruv Jurel are at the crease, looking to keep India's hopes alive. Mitchell Marsh will begin the session for Australia with the ball.

Interestingly, Virat Kohli's interception point during his brief stay was 2.685 from the stumps—the highest by any batter in the morning session and the highest in his Test career.
