Aussies all out for 181.

Webster 57 ..... nice knock on debut. Showed up many of his more experienced teammates.
Smith  33
Konstas 23
Carey  21

Woeful effort especially by the top order. India didn't have Bumrah bowling either for most of it as he went to hospital for scans.

A repeat of the first test just meekly giving away the advantage after India's first innings and handing it back to India.

India currently 0/16 in their second innings.

Just as an aside, that outfield collision in the BBL last night between Bancroft & Sams was brutal :o.

15 wickets in a day. Could have been 16 if Smith didn't dive in front of Khawaja in the slips.

India  6/141 ......... Boland 4/42, Webster 1/24, Cummins 1/31, Starc 0/36 (off just 4 overs)

India lead by 145 runs with 4 wickets in hand at stumps.

Bumrah may be injured and if he is I reckon that'll be the match to us.

Have you seen our batting and that pitch - they won't need him and probably have enough runs already. :shh

Poor footwork or in some case zero footwork led to the dismissal of the majority of Australia's batsmen

The only ones who looked the part were Webster and Carey

Pant took the Aussies, clearly decided to play his natural game. It was amazing while it lasted

I just hope the Steve Smith drop (wasn't his catch BTW) doesn't cost us. It was an extremely poor decision by him to go for that catch. And as an aside I think our slips cordon stand too close together

Would be nice of the Indians told everyone what's going on with Bumrah
