India v Australia - Australia tour of India - 2nd Test – Day 1 – Live Score and Update
Australia 237/9d v India 5/0 (3.0 ov) - India trail by 232 runs with 10 wickets remaining in the 1st innings
Australia are certainly struggling in their tour of India where on the first day of the second Test at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hyderabad-c792, they could score only 237 runs in their first innings before declaring the innings.
After winning the toss the Aussies chose to bat first but lost their first wicket with only ten runs on the board as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 had his stumps obliterated by Kumar after scoring only six runs.
Then with only 15 runs on the scoreboard the Aussies lost their second wicket on the dismissal of EJM Cowan, who was trapped in front of stumps by Kumar after scoring only four runs.
With both openers back in the pavilion, middle-order batsmen PJ Hughes and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 became the third casualty of the day, losing his wicket after smacking a knock
of 23 runs.
Hughes and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 then could take the score to 63 runs before the former lost his wicket after having scored 19 runs.
This was the time when Australia were in deep trouble and seemingly heading towards a complete meltdown.
Nonetheless, Clarke and MS Wade forged a staggering collaboration as they neutralised the Indian bowling attack, launching a very aggressive offensive.
The batting duo took the score to 208, before this fantastic pair played its last on the dismissal of Wade, who lost his wicket to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 after smacking 62 runs off 144 deliveries.
Then with 217 runs, the Indians struck again when Jadeja clean bowled MC Henriques. The batsman found his way back to the pavilion after scoring only five runs.
GJ Maxwell was disappointing today as he could score only 13 runs before losing his wicket to Jadeja. At the time of this wicket, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 had managed to post 233 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 needed to stay on the wicket for as long as possible but he was the last wicket to fall after played a brilliant knock of 91 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 then scored five runs without any loss before the end of the day’s play.
