2nd Test, Day 1: India bounce back but Australia still on top

India recovered from a patchy start to reduce Australia to 277/6 on the opening day of the 2nd Test.

A 112-run opening stand between Marcus Harris (70) and Aaron Finch (50) vindicated their decision to bat on green top before Indian bowlers made a decent recovery.

Skipper Tim Paine (16 not out) and Pat Cummins (11 not out) were unbeaten at stumps after enduring a testing spell from Jasprit Bumrah.

Pacer Ishant Sharma (2/35) and spinner Hanuma Vihari (2/53) took two wickets apiece while Bumrah (1/41) and Umesh Yadav (1/68) accounted for one batsman each. 

Marsh and Travis Head added 84 runs for the fifth wicket, and in doing so took Australia past 200 in the 69th over.
