Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head ruled on the second day as Indian bowlers allowed them to play big knocks. Head went on to score his third Test ton at Adelaide Oval. Soon, India restricted Australia to 337 runs which gave them a big lead of 157 runs. India lost five wickets before the end of the day's play and are still trailing by 29 runs.

The weather is pleasant in Adelaide Oval on Sunday and the sun is out. There are some patchy clouds and according to the weather forecast, they should not intervene. It's not warm but there is some humidity in the air. Nice day for play. It will be a Super Sunday for the fans.

The daily start time for the IND vs AUS 2nd Test match is 9:30 am IST (02:30 pm local). For the unversed, 90 overs should be covered in a day's play in Test cricket. The ground staff is doing the preparations at the moment.

On Day 2, there was a heated moment when Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj gave a loud send-off to Australian batter Travis Head. The South Australian batter was dismissed by Siraj after a score of 140. There were some exchanges of verbal abuse. But Head later told broadcasters that he said, "Well Bowled", but Siraj started abusing him.

There is another India vs Australia match going on. India women are up against Australia in the second ODI match at Brisbane and the hosts have made the highest total against the Indian team in the women's ODIs while batting first. They made 371/8 in 50 overs. Playing just her second ODI match, Georgia Voll hit her first international ton and soon Ellyse Perry joined her by hitting a 74-ball hundred.

Rishabh Pant could not stay for long as the day's play started on time. Mitchell Starc came to bowl the first over of Day 3. Pant was on strike. There was an appeal on the second delivery but it was not out. Starc got Pant caught behind on the last delivery to take one more wicket in the match.

IND - 128/6 (25)

Ravichandran Ashwin was dismissed by Pat Cummins in the 30th over. Cummins continuously tried for short balls and succeeded when one delivery got the glove of Ashwin and Alex Carey took a fine catch behind the wickets. Harshit Rana is the new batter at the crease.

IND - 150/7 (31)

Nitish Kumar Reddy believed in Harshit Rana and gave him strike on the first delivery of Pat Cummins' over. He played out one delivery but got out on the next to give India another heartache. India are eight wickets down and still trailing by four runs.

IND - 160/8 (35)

Nitish Kumar Reddy tried to go big and was caught at the third man by Nathan McSweeney. He was on his knees. India have taken a 10-run lead. Mohammed Siraj came out to bat and the crowd booed him. He got off the mark with a single.

IND - 167/9 (36)

Mohammed Siraj hit a four then tried to go for a shot again and was caught at mid-off by Travis Head and the crowd went crazy. India are all out for 175 runs and they have set a 19-run target for Australia.

IND - 175/10 (36.5)

Brief Score: IND - 175/10 (36.5) & 180

Nice to get some runs again. I felt like I moved well last week, I felt like I am in good form. It's a good dressing room to be in, it's a tight one, most people might suggest otherwise. Putting a good performance in, nothing was ever guaranteed, nice momentum and now we have to move on with it. It wasn't talked about (to bowl in the final session on day two), Pat gives me great confidence. I can see the game and play the game how I want to see it. I felt like there was a good opportunity with that second new ball. Tried to get as many as we could get and put them under pressure. It was a hot couple of days. Felt like the new ball was going to be tough work. Nice that it was able to come off. I picked the moments really well throughout the innings and we were able to get the ball rolling. (Century celebration) Did it with Miller as well, nice to have them (family) here and it's been a nice week.

Disappointing week for us, we didn't play well enough to win the game and Australia played better than us. There were times in the game where we could have grabbed those opportunities but we failed to do that and that cost us the game. What we did in Perth was very special, we wanted to come out here and do that again but every Test match has its own challenge. We knew it was going to be challenging with the pink ball. Like I said, Australia was better than us. We are quite looking forward to it (Gabba Test), there's not much time in between as well. We want to go out there and think about what we did right in Perth and what we did last time when we were here. Some really good memories there, hopefully we understand the challenges of every Test match. We want to start well and play well.

Great week, knew we were far away from the team we want to be in Perth. This is back to how we want to play. (On his personal form) I was happy, wasn't too upset with how I bowled in Perth, felt really good this week and good to get a few wickets. Amazing, never that much noise within the group, we know what a good unit we are. Having someone like Starc, he's amazing, just does it time and time again. He's done it for over a decade now. Feel very lucky and privileged to have him in our team. (On Head) He loves batting here, again one of those momentum-shifts, the game could have gone either way when he walked out to bat but he took it straight out of their hands. The main thing was the lead, just happened that it was a pretty good time to bowl as well. seems to do a little bit more under lights. But the big thing was getting a big lead. Scotty just fitted in straightaway like as he does. Feels so lucky to have someone like him, he probes with every ball. Hopefully Josh's back next week but Scotty is unbelievable. (On Lyon bowling just 1 over in the Test) He'll jump in the ice bath, he's had a big week.

The series is levelled at 1-1 after two matches and now the third match will be played in Brisbane starting on 14th December. Join us then. Until then, goodbye and take care!
