2nd Test: Head & Bowlers Put Australia In Total Control As India Land In Big Trouble (ld)
With Rishabh Pant: Australia's fast bowlers scythed through India's top order in the third session to leave them at 128/5 in 24 overs to be 29 runs behind the hosts at stumps on day two of the second Test at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
With Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy unbeaten on 28 and 15 respectively, the onus will be on the duo to pull India out of trouble and save them from a likely defeat. The foundation for Australia’s dominating day was laid by Travis Head smashing a blistering 140 off 141 balls on his home ground, as the hosts made 337 to take a 152-run lead.
It was a tremendous attacking innings from Head, who mixed his usual free-flowing cuts and pulls with some sumptuous drives while hitting 17 fours and four sixes to put Australia firmly in the box seat to square the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series via his third hundred in day-night Tests. After getting his fifty in 63 balls, Head took only 48 more balls to reach his eighth Test hundred in front of 51,642 fans at his home ground. He was well-supported by Marnus Labuschagne coming out of the poor run of form to hit an assured 64.
