Earlier, resuming their innings on the overnight score of 233 for six, India lost final 4 wickets for just 11 runs, with Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc each adding two wickets every single to their currently impressive tally on Day 2. Starc ended with 4 wickets for 53 runs even though Cummins completed with 3 wickets.
India began their bowling with Umesh Yadav as an alternative of Mohammed Shami and that became a substantial speaking point on social media. While Umesh bowled back-to-back maiden overs upfront, he could not force the batsmen to play the balls as most of his deliveries have been wide of off stump.
Shami, coming in as a very first-transform bowler, began causing Australian openers some difficulty. He bowled in terrific tandem with Bumrah and the latter trapped Wade and Burns leg just before inside two overs.
Australia have been 35/2 at the finish of very first session on Day 2. However, factors could have been worse for the hosts had Bumrah held onto that catch at the fence but he would hope to make up for that with his bowling in the remaining sessions.
