Ind vs aus 3rd test 2 day match highlights : Travis Head and Steve Smith batted brilliantly and Australia scored so many runs
Till the stumps of the second day of the match, India have scored 405 runs for 7 wickets in 101 overs, while Jasprit Bumrah took the highest 5 wickets for India. Jasprit Bumrah did not get support from fellow bowlers at the other end, otherwise India had taken the first 3 wickets early. On the second day of the third Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy on Sunday, Australia batted almost in ODI style. Alex Carey returned unbeaten after scoring 45 and Mitchell Starc after scoring 7 runs. The second day's play started half an hour earlier as most of the play on the first day of the match was washed away by rain. Australia started the day with a lead of 28 runs without any loss and Bumrah did not take much time to give the Indian team its first success.
He got Khawaja caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant in the fourth over of the day. Bumrah dismissed Khawaja for the third time in this series, while Pant took his 150th catch in Tests. Indian bowling leader Bumrah sent McSweeney to the pavilion in his next over.
The ball took the outside edge of his bat and went into the hands of Virat Kohli standing at second slip. In this way, Jasprit Bumrah gave India a good start by taking two wickets at the beginning of the day. After the initial success, India was able to maintain the pressure but Smith and Labuschagne resorted to defensive play to spend time at the crease.
Head, who led Australia to victory with a century (140 runs) in the Adelaide Test match, once again scored easily against the Indian bowlers. This left-handed batsman had no problem in playing the ball away from the fielders. He completed his second consecutive century and 9th century of his Test career by taking three runs against Bumrah in the 69th over of the innings.
At the beginning of Travis Head's innings, the Indian bowlers did not use the short ball much. He started trying such balls when he had adapted well to the conditions. Apart from Travis Head, Smith, who has been struggling to find rhythm for the last few matches, also showed a great example of patience and kept the Indian bowlers away from success for a long time.
He tested the Indian bowlers a lot while playing an innings of 101 runs. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj bowled with the right line length but could not get the desired result.
Jasprit Bumrah broke the partnership by getting Steve Smith caught by Rohit Sharma after he scored a century and then by dismissing Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh (5) in the same over, he not only completed his five-wicket haul but also gave relief to the Indian team. After this, Pat Cummins was dismissed by Siraj on a personal score of 20 runs. This was Siraj's first wicket.
