Hello and welcome to Sportstar’s Live coverage of Day two of the second Test between India and Australia at the Ferozshah Kotla in Delhi.
Nathan Lyon strikes and that’s the end of KL Rahul who departs for yet another low score as the India vice-captain falls for a 41-ball 17. India didn’t lose a review as it was umpire’s call. Tossed up delivery, Rahul gets forward to defend and the ball hits low on his pad and hitting the leg stump. Rahul’s poor form continues and his fall brings in Cheteshwar Pujara, who is playing his 100 th Test.
Pat Cummins steams in from the other end and the first runs of the morning have come from KL Rahul’s willow who carves a good length delivery to the backward point area for a single. Rohit too takes a single off the last ball as India gets Cummins the proceedings rolling.
Kuhnemann starts with a slip and short-led and it’s a fine first over to start Day two of the second Test. Rohit plays out a maiden as India is yet to get off the mark.
Warner joins Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green, both of whom were declared unfit to play and missed out first and second Tests after failing to recover from injuries in time.
Matt Renshaw will replace Warner in the playing 11 as a concussion substitute, according to reports.
Warner got hit on the head on day one as he tried to pull a delivery from Siraj. As a result of that hit, Warner couldn’t come out to field when it was India’s turn to bat in the evening.
Australia’s David Warner has been ruled out of second Test against India due to concussion in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Saturday.
