The second day of the third Test match between India and Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy was filled with ups and downs for both teams. Australia started the day with an impressive performance by their lower-order batsmen, who added crucial runs to the scoreboard. India’s bowlers, especially Mohammad Siraj, put in a commendable effort, picking up wickets at crucial moments to keep Australia’s lead in check. Pat Cummins, who scored a crucial half-century, was the last man to be dismissed, leaving Australia with a total of 338 runs.
India’s innings got off to a rocky start as they lost their opening batsman, Shubman Gill, early on. However, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara dug in and put up a solid partnership to steady the ship. Australia’s bowlers, led by Pat Cummins, made it difficult for the Indian batsmen to score freely, but they held on, finishing the day with a score of 96/2.
India’s batsmen will need to continue to show resilience on the third day, as they look to close the gap between themselves and Australia. Meanwhile, Australia’s bowlers will be eager to pick up early wickets and put pressure on the Indian batting lineup. With both teams still in the hunt, the third day promises to be an exciting one for cricket fans around the world.Regenerate
