Australia at India

We haven't seen heaps of left-arm spinner Azar Patel today and, in truth, he was the third wheel behind Jadeja and Ashwin in the first Test.

Australia's Border-Gavaskar trophy hopes are delicately poised after they fought their way to a modest first innings of 263 in the second Test against India ...

The miserly Victorian quick Scott Boland dropped out for Kuhnemann after playing an important role in Nagpur last week. The Victorian delivered one of his finest performances in a baggy green by thwarting India’s imposing attack. Sharma was given out off Nathan Lyon’s bowling in the final over, but the India captain successfully overturned the decision.

India 21 for 0 (Rohit 13*, Rahul 4*) trail Australia 263 (Khawaja 82, Handscomb 72*, Shami 4-60, Ashwin 3-57, Jadeja 3-68) by 242 runs.

In the 46th over, he tapped Jadeja for a reverse-sweep for four, and smashed the next one. [Usman Khawaja](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/usman-khawaja-215155)and [Peter Handscomb](http://www.espncricinfo.com/player/peter-handscomb-334337)were the standout batters for Australia. When he went wider on the crease, the ball turned less than Cummins expected because of the angle, and trapped him lbw. With Pat Cummins, he added 59 for the seventh wicket. Travis Head, replacing Matt Renshaw, looked to attack, and although he looked most uncomfortable against Ashwin, it was Shami who took the wicket. That reverse-sweep almost became the push down the ground for a single. Handscomb stayed unbeaten on 72, adding 19 and 17 for the ninth and 10th wickets. An offbreak was perfect enough to turn past Labuschagne's inside edge but not enough to miss the stumps. They batted with similar urgency after winning the toss on a Delhi pitch where they played just one seamer, and managed to get to 263. Handscomb was more orthodox and assured, trusting his defence, waiting for the loose ball and, on occasion, creating back-foot shots. [R Ashwin](https://www.espncricinfo.com/player/ravichandran-ashwin-26421)looked the most threatening bowler, operating over two long spells for to pick up 3 for 57 in 21 overs, including the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith in the same over moments before lunch. [Nagpur had on day one](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-in-india-2022-23-1348637/india-vs-australia-1st-test-1348652/full-scorecard)and also more bounce than is usual in Delhi, but batting looked easier as the day progressed.

David Warner's career is hanging in the balance after another relative failure with the bat after the Aussie veteran was unable to return to the field.

It looked as though Nathan Lyon had the breakthrough late on day one, when Rohit Sharma appeared to be caught.

It was ended by a Jadeja slider that struck the Aussie skipper in front. It brings debutant Matt Kuhnemann to the crease. But it's over now - the off-spinner bowled for 10 by Shami. And he's right. as does the finger! Sharma lunges forward to Nathan Lyon and the ball pops up to Marnus Labuschagne at bad-pad.

India reaches stumps on day one without the loss of a wicket in its first innings in Delhi, after Australia is dismissed for 263 in its opening knock.

The crowd rise as one and shriek their joy to the heavens. What a ball. Now Rohit cuts behind Lyon and gets a boundary! What a ball! Rahul is under pressure for runs, why not target him? Not sure what happened there, he may have slipped? "CATCH" is the call, as the ball beats those slips town towards third man, off the shoulder of the bat. Did it hit on the way out? Oh my word, what a start that would have been. Oh what happened there, Lyon got one to not bounce at all! By Simon Smale They run two, but that's a little win for the bowler.

The ICC has tweeted that David Warner has been subbed out of the match with concussion and Matthew Renshaw has been named as his replacement.

“He (Warner) is a little bit weary at the moment.

Renshaw was dropped after the first Test following two low scores but he was unexpectedly returned to the team for the rest of this match including Australia’s second innings after Warner was found to have concussion and subbed out of the game. Australian great Allan Border sees Matthew Renshaw’s “out of the blue” elevation into the side for the rest of the second Test in Delhi as a chance for the batter to make his claim to stay in the team. Australian debutante Matthew Kuhnemann made a lifetime goal into a reality on Friday, now he faces the reality of trying to bowl out India in Delhi as day two of the second Test begins.

He did not take to the field with his teammates after India bowled Australia out on the opening day in Delhi. All-rounder Cameron Green was unavailable for selection due to injury, with Travis Head returning for Renshaw. Australia worked with spin right from the second over of India’s innings, with debutant Matthew Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon bowling six overs between them. It’s in the rules that they are allowed to replace him, so that’s a big bonus for Australia.” He didn’t have a concussion test after taking a hit to the helmet, but Khawaja said his fellow opener felt “weary” after the hit on the head. Warner, who scored one and 10 in Nagpur in the first Test, was the first Aussie batter to go on Friday after taking 21 balls to score the first runs of his innings.

Khawaja has been caught by a stunning one-hander by KL Rahul off Jadeja. That is a century gone begging. Khawaja and Handscomb pushed the score along this ...

The big stories so far are Australia’s selection, and David Warner’s continued lean run. The pitch is already offering plenty of turn, though there seems to be more bounce than expected. yesterday

David Warner has been ruled out of the rest of Australia's second Test against India after suffering concussion symptoms.

IND vs AUS Live Score, 2nd Test, Day 2 Latest Updates: Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will resume batting for India on Day 2 of the ongoing India vs Australia ...

After suffering an embarrassing defeat at the hands of hosts India in the series opener, Pat Cummins and Co. Despite the steady start, the tourists could only manage 263 runs on the board. The skipper is currently batting on 13 and both fans and Rohit will hope to notch a second ton in as many matches. The former India captain has not notched a single half-century in his previous 10 innings, played in the sub-continent and managed just 174 runs. India captain Rohit Sharma was given out by umpire towards the closing stages of the play. Catch the live score and all the latest updates:

Australia is given a massive lift after Nathan Lyon claims four key Indian wickets — including captain Rohit Sharma — during the morning session in Delhi.

Good decision it looks, which is handy because Australia has no more reviews. Lyon didn't miss his mark by much, but didn't need to. Was going down leg, it looked like, and the umpire thought so too. Off the back foot, nicely played by Jadeja. There are two slips there, close together, but it just didn't carry actually, Smith diving to his right. Two leg byes, actually. I'm already wondering how many runs will win by, but my mates tell me to settle down. Any tips on how to not get carried away?

Over-by-over report: Play continues on the second day at Arun Jaitley Stadium. Join our writers for updates from Delhi.

10th over: India 21-0 (Sharma 13, KL Rahul 4) Kuhnemann starts superbly, hitting a good line and length from around the wicket to Rohit, making the ball hold its line around middle-and-leg. 11th over: India 23-0 (Sharma 14, KL Rahul 5) Pat Cummins shares duties at the start of play, aiming for the top of off stump in a conventional manner. THE REVIEW IS LOST with the ball missing the stumps on height and line. Unfortunately for the Australian skipper he’s in Delhi, and the ball is doing nothing in the air or off the pitch on such a conventional line and length. And it’s another shocker with the ball missing the inside-edge by a long long way. After Lyon bowling right-arm offies from around the wicket, and Kuhnemann bowling left-arm orthodox from over, Murphy is bowling his right-arm off-spin from over the wicket. 16th over: India 45-0 (Sharma 25, KL Rahul 16) Nathan Lyon replaces Kuhnemann, bowling around the wicket to the two right handers, and immediately he gets much sharper turn. 29th over: India 70-4 (Kohli 12, Jadeja 1) Kohli and Jadeja rotate the strike comfortably in an unusually run-of-the-mill over. Handscomb, under the lid, reacts brilliantly, folding his body to cushion the blow and grasp the catch as the ball descended to the turf. 31st over: India 78-4 (Kohli 13, Jadeja 8) Kuhnemann is back for his third spell of the morning, replacing Murphy from the Delhi Gate end. 28th over: India 68-4 (Kohli 11, Jadeja 0) After Kohli rotates the strike Lyon pins down Jadeja. 32nd over: India 84-4 (Kohli 13, Jadeja 14) Jadeja doesn’t look set yet, but he digs in against Lyon and whips a couple into the leg-side when the bowler drops a fraction short.

I watched [Ravindra] Jadeja, Axar [Patel] and [Ravichandran] Ashwin in how they use the crease and their pace. He was called up to join the team for its Tests in Sri Lanka last year which also helped him. Kuhnemann has only played 13 first-class matches for Queensland but he has been working on bowling on the sub-continent during Cricket Australia spin development camps.

They will be hoping the similarities endure even though the black-soil track of Delhi got better to bat on as the day progressed. India will be thinking what great position they might be in if they get ahead by 100. Australia will be thinking what great position they might be in if they can deny India a lead.
