IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 2 Stumps: India 62/2 after rain forces early end to day 2; Australia bowled out for 369

IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 2 Stumps: Rohit Sharma’s indiscreet shot selection pegged India back after rookie bowling attack restricted Australia to 369 on a rain-curtailed second day of the fourth Test on Saturday. With heavy thundershowers preventing any play in the post-tea session, India ended the day at 62 for two.

Rohit was elegant as ever in his 44 off 74 balls before Nathan Lyon in his 100th Test enticed him to come down the track but the half-chip-half-loft was safely pouched by Mitchell Starc in the deep.

India also lost Shubman Gill (7) who edged one off Pat Cummins to Steve Smith.

Cheteshwar Pujara (8) and Ajinkya Rahane (2) added only two runs in the 6.1 overs before the break.

There were six boundaries from Rohit but he did not fiddle at deliveries in and around the off-stump channel even as Cummins and Josh Hazlewood bowled a testing spell under overcast conditions.

The shot of the session was an on-drive off Cummins which came after a streaky boundary through the slips in the same over. Another delightful stroke was an off-drive off Cameron Green as 49 runs were added for the second wicket.

There wasn’t much swing on offer but the pace off the track has increased compared to the first day and it only helped that the Australian pace attack is a more well built one with the average speed being at least 6-7 kmph more than their Indian counterparts.

Pujara, at the other end, was playing his usual ‘grinding out’ game but it didn’t look too arduous till Rohit kept the scoreboard ticking at the other end.

It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that among all top-order batsman across both sides, Rohit looked the most comfortable and till his dismissal never looked like being troubled by the four-pronged attack.

However as has been his form in SENA countries, Rohit just before the tea break went after Lyon when the situation demanded that he could have played for session-end.

It was very similar to his dismissal off Moeen Ali at the stroke of tea during the 2014 series and that was also after being set in the middle-order.

India, who have been forced to field a depleted side won’t mind an inclement weather which effectively makes the home team more jittery as a draw would be enough for Ajinkya Rahane to lift the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

In the first session, India’s rookie bowling line-up did put up a lion-hearted effort, getting the last five wickets for 95 runs.

Shardul Thakur (3/94) along with debutants Washington Sundar (3/89) and Thangarasu Natarajan (3/78) got the breakthroughs while Mohammed Siraj (28-10-77-1) got one on the opening day.

For an attack as thin on experience as India, the effort in adverse times can only be commended. India lost five main bowlers through the three Test matches and were forced to hand Test debuts to Natarajan and Washington.

Nathan Lyon (24 off 22 balls) and Mitchell Starc (20 off 35 balls) counter-attacked the inexperienced Indian attack with a brisk 39-run partnership to take Australia past 350-run mark.

Going by statistics, Australia have never lost a Test match at the Gabba after scoring 350 in the first innings.

Resuming at 274 for five, Tim Paine (50) and Cameron Green (47) extended their stand to 98 before the home team encountered a mini-collapse.

Thakur bowled a fuller delivery that shaped away and Paine’s lazy drive without going to the pitch of the delivery saw Rohit Sharma take a regulation catch at the second slip.

Paine was just getting into the groove with some good drives when Thakur provided the breakthrough.

With the partnership broken, Green probably lost his concentration as he played for the turn to an angled delivery from Sundar which straightened after pitching and breached through his defences.

Pat Cummins (2) was adjudged leg before as he yorked himself to a fuller delivery from Thakur as Australia slumped from 311 for five to 315 for eight before the tail wagged once again to beef up the total.

OUT! Bowled! Third of the match for Sundar as dangerous-looking Lyon, who is playing his 100th Test, departs after quick-firing 22. Lyon was exposing his stumps on the sweep, moved right across and once he missed, the ball slid on with the angle to crash into middle and leg. Lyon b Washington Sundar 24(22) [4s-4], AUS 354/9

6:40 am: Ind vs Aus 4th Test Live Updates

OUT! Third wicket in the span of 15 minutes and this time, it’s Pat Cummins who bites the dust as Thakur strikes again. Dipping full-toss and Cummins was looking to work it through the on-side, but missed it completely as the ball struck bang in front as he was given OUT LBW. Cummins decided to review it but it was of no use as the impact was in front of middle and it was hitting leg. Cummins lbw b Thakur 2(8), AUS 317/8

6:35 am: Ind vs Aus 4th Test Live Updates

OUT! Bowled! And now Cameron Green departs as Washington Sundar strikes. Sundar pushed through flatter with the angle and Green prodded forward as he played for the non-existent turn – the ball went straight on, past Green’s defensive prod and crashed into the middle-stump. Green b Washington Sundar 47(107) [4s-6], AUS 313/7

6:30 am: Ind vs Aus 4th Test Live Updates

OUT! A much-needed breakthrough for India as Shardul Thakur removes Aussie skipper Tim Paine, who just completed his fifty. Fuller length, teaser outside off and Paine, while attempting to go for a drive, produces a thick outside edge which flew to Rohit at second slip. Paine c Rohit b Thakur 50(104) [4s-6], AUS 311/6

6:17 am: Ind vs Aus 4th Test Live Updates

Hilarious act by Australian fans as an entire bay’s worth of Star Wars stormtroopers have just arrived to sit beneath the press box, so we’ll look forward to seeing whether they veer towards obnoxiousness or jolliness later in the day.

05:30 am: Ind vs Aus 4th Test Live Updates

Talking about the pitch then, Aussie legend Shane Warne said the wicket looks good for batting on day two, but predicts it will begin to take spin well while the fast bowlers could take advantage of the cracks already appearing.

“That one crack that’s on a pretty good length that we heard a few of the players talk about yesterday, that could really become a weapon for the fast bowlers,” he said.

“That crack — that doesn’t normally happen until day three, maybe late-day four so this is a lot drier than normal. It looks like a day three pitch already.”

IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 1 Stumps Report

Marnus Labuschagne’s 108 was the cornerstone of Australia’s 274 for 5 at stumps on the opening day of fourth and final Test against India in Brisbane on Friday. The hosts were reduced to 17 for 2 after opting to bat on a bouncy and batting wicket but recovered later, thanks mainly to Labuschagne. At stumps, captain Tim Paine and Cameron Green were batting on 38 and 28 respectively.

Labuschagne’s 204-ball knock had nine boundaries. He was dropped on 37 by Ajinkya Rahane off the bowling of Navdeep Saini.

The Australians scored runs at a fair clip in the second session after they were 65 for 2 at lunch, with Labuschagne going great guns. The hosts added 89 runs from 27 overs and lost just one wicket in that session.

But India made a comeback in the final session, with debutant T Natarajan getting rid of Labuschagne and Matthew Wade (45) in the space of two overs after the duo had stitched 113 runs for the fourth wicket.

The other debutant Washington Sundar got rid of the dangerous Steve Smith (36) for his first Test wicket.
